I went to my off-grid cabin under an extreme cold warning. The temperature was minus forty with a windchill of minus fifty Celsius. It would be my coldest Overnighter yet. I started playing in the woods as a kid and gradually worked my way up to this moment. I didn't just jump into this. My main goal was the get ahead on the firewood and not freeze to death. Lots of planning and precautions were taken. After cutting firewood all day I made a simple supper. I had some curtains at the cabin for quite some time and finally made window coverings to help keep the cold out. I also dug our all 4 blankets to try and stay warm. Before bed I loaded up the woodstove and set my alarm for two hours. I first woke up at 2, 4 then 6. Each time I was cold but not freezing which is to be expected in those conditions. It would be so much easier having someone else load the woodstove every 2 hours.
I wouldn't want to do that every day that's for sure.
