What would make it better?

We had a long fire 3-4 feet long, and dragged larger pieces of wood into it as they burned. We underestimated the amount of wood we would need. Tons nearby and was easy to collect with moonlight and snow on the ground. Good idea with the green wood.

The grass was near the creek bottoms, thigh high, looked like wheat. did not see any cattails or rushes.

I have a nylon tarp I made from Walmart, that I have grommeted I have used as a bag before, but for this I wanted to do with out.

All I had was a contractors bag, I filled it with grass but it kept the radiant heat of the fire off me, so I laid on it.

The 15 below temps the day before took care of our soggy leaves.

The wind was crazy and one thing we could have done better is channel it so it would not curl into some of the lean 2's. About 4am it switched to the North and the temps dropped. We got about 1.5 inches of snow, the snow the cold ground made for restless sleep.

Practiced self splinting a broken leg, Land Nav skills utm coordinates, Fire starting many times, using a signal mirror, snares, collecting and treating water etc. All those perishable skills you should keep up on.

Was a good test of using things I have with me at all times and what I would change or add.
