Cold Nights Don’t Lie

About this episode

The episode discusses a cold night experience that highlights mistakes in sleep systems and offers insights on staying warm in low temperatures.

I break down a cold night where my military grade sleeping bag couldn’t save me from a simple mistake in my sleep system. This episode shows exactly what went wrong, what the cold taught me, and how to build a setup that actually keeps you warm when temperatures drop.
