[at-l] What's the coldest temp you've been out in?

[Tom Fort]

Mine was -15*F one Christmas in the mid-90's at  the Mount LaConte 
shelter in the Smokies. There were 3-5 ft of snow that day.    I was in 
my 0* down mummy, inside my backup bivy, inside the shelter.  At least 
the caretaker offered me some hot bread!   Hot water nalgeens are the 
best!

I managed to make it to IWS shelter, which was a stupid chance to take 
coming off that mountain.  However, after watching a hellicopter rescue 
a hiker, and, contiplating the dangers of the trail south, I decided to 
cancle that hike.
