On this session we bring the boys back together and chat about our experiences camping in the cold.  The term "cold" registers in different places for each of us and not just because some are using celsius! We have a fairly lengthy string of tips and some of them provided by our listeners.  The list is certainly not all inclusive and we may have gotten some things wrong.  Please send in your pro tips and corrections to overlandroundtable@gmail.com.
