      In the army I went to the field one time without my sleeping bag in Germany in the winter time. Oh how I suffered for that. Blankets just didn’t cut it.

      We use to go out camping in the snow when it was in the teens or colder. Push the snow back make a small fire to last all night and a sleeping bag. The trick is to now wear cloths while in the bag. Use them as a pillow or to block the hole. Keep the hole open just enough to let alittle air in. Stay warm and sleep well all night.

      Do you want the guy to be walking through the woods naked with only three blankets? You’re pushing the boundaries of what my mind can handle

      If he had presence of mind to bring three blankets, why not a tent and a heater instead? I apologize about the I don’t doubt that remark. It was just to easy

      Pffft. I once spent a -11° night out with nothing but one 3-1/2 point Whitney blanket and a deerskin to lay on. It’s very do-able, you just have to know what you’re doing. If you don’t though, don’t try it.
