Re: Coldest temperature you've ever camped in?

Scott's story about spitting in the cold reminded me of some of the times in the Alaska Range when we would stop for a pee break. The first time you pee in -40 or colder weather and you hear the cracking sound as it freezes on the way to the ground is a bit of a shocker ("what the ... was that??"). Yes, it really does happen at that kind of temperature.

But last month, down in Antarctica, the rules say you carry your pee bottle with you, use that, and when you get to camp you either dump it into the barrel (which will be flown out back to South America) or in some trail camps dump it in a designated spot to minimize impact (concentrated in high use areas, not spread all over the place).
