[Ansteorra] GW camping in cold/hot weather tips

[Miss M Brow]

You know, Caelin, I used to do it that way but I was much warmer once I put my quilt under the air mattress.  I don't remember which event it was, but when it was very cold at night and I complained of shivering the whole night, someone suggested putting a blanket between the air mattress and the floor of the tent.  It helped tremendously.  I don't know why... it just did.  Maybe having the extra barrier helped keep some of the heat in the air mattress?  Of course, I had a nice thick blanket on top of the air mattress too, I wasn't just sleeping on a sheet...
