What Happens When You go Tarp Camping in Sub Zero Temperatures?

Tarp camping is one of my favorite way to camp in winter ,right after hot tent camping ,lightweight ,simple ,effective ...tarp camping has a lot going for it . You are immersed in nature and the variety of shelters you can pitch with a simple tarp mean there is one for each occasion,you just have to choose ...wisely . My choice for this trip was not perfect ,change in the forecast didn't help ,but i had a good night sleep ... and a cold get out of bed . The morning was way colder and windier than expected ! I was expecting -16c and -22 windchill , i got -20c and -27 windchill ... a bit chillier i must say , a small fire did the trick , allowing me to brew a warm cup of coffee and warm up while packing . Join me on this chilly adventure ! :)
