One of our troop leaders taught us a trick last winter. He boild some water before going to sleep on cold campouts. That's usually no big deal as someone almost always makes some hot chocolate at night. He then fills his nalgene with very hot (not boiling) water to take into his sleeping bag with him. The heat lasts all night as the bottle is usually still warm in the morning.
