YOu can get what call "facebands", they are like a headband, but they go around the lower half of your head. It is basically a scarf that can't unravel.

Look in the cold weather section of something like Cabela's. I fyou are handy with a needle, or know someone who is, a tube of light polypro that has some stretch to it, stiched into a tube big enough around to go around your head, and wide enough to go from your nose to about an inche below your chin.

That will prewarm your air, keep the crud out of your lungs.

This may have been posted already.. but I live in NC.. we have some cold weather in winter.. I take a foam mat or a air matress to get my body off of the ground.. This makes a tremendous differnece in body heat..The ground seems to absorb your heat... i guess cause its so cold!!

Winter camping in Alaska, the arrangement is a canvas wall tent and a coleman stove. When its lights out, you make sure you have a good sleeping bag. Someone gets to light the thing in the morning and start some water heating. Usually we sleep in Carharts so getting up aint that bad. Wear something onyour head, sleeping and make a sort of tunnel for your breath. Nylon tent is pretty useless in subzero weather.

Never did put the tent up as it was designed to be,, actually a tarp is as good. Draped over some electrical conduit bent and tied to form a domw, edges held down with snow, , and the floor dug down a couple of feet maybe into the snow, I've been out in 60mph winds that didnt bother the tent at all.
