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.


Thanks, it seems like a nice book.

Really? (alright, I'll stop) [/quote]

Sorry I couldn't help it.

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.
