This weekend, being of sound mind–no, really—and possessed of a couple extra days to recover, I took my new tent and sleeping bag out to play in the snow.

It was a windy night. It got down to about thirty degrees. And there was snow. Not a lot, but enough that my tent left a bare spot when I pulled it back up.

The setup did better than I expected. It didn’t leak, and I didn’t freeze. I’ll probably put up a formal review after I get the chance to try it again.
