Anybody have experience with these products? http://www.philoxia.com/survival.htmAnd Monty Alford's home made Yu-Can survival stove made with nested cans and tea candles is good for melting snow and you can use your survival tubing as a straw to drink directly from it. Frankie

I suppose that depends on the weather, the vehicle and how comfortable the seats are  I'd like to see how well a mummy bag in a car does compared to a mummy bag in a tent. Considering that the seat and carpeting are keeping me up off the ground and dry, and that I expend zero energy in building a shelter, I'll continue to plan on using the truck cab as an expedient shelter.

And why a tent if you're in your vehicle . Are you going to get out of your vehicle and pitch a tent during a blizzard I've read that any non-running vehicle is a heat sink and in cold weather it's better to build a shelter outside of the car to prevent hypothermia, like a snow trench or even a tent when there's not enough snow. Where did you read this? In Winter Wise by Monty Alford.

I think a car or truck would make for an alright shelter as long as you have a thick wool blanket and heavy sleeping bag. Plus you probably have your heavy winter coat. Plenty of insulation. All I would really want is for the car to stop the wind.
