That's a great trick. The plastic bag contains your body heat. But you gotta make sure you don't fall asleep with the plastic bag on or you'll wake up drenched in sweat and then have to deal with cold and wet. :-( Hey Kim,

Yes! That’s a great trick. The plastic bag contains your body heat. But you gotta make sure you don’t fall asleep with the plastic bag on or you’ll wake up drenched in sweat and then have to deal with cold and wet. :-(

OMG it worked like a charm! when my body temp had risen enough, i removed the plastic bag and i was fine the rest of the night, and subsequent nights. from that experience i learned to always have a large garbage bag on hand when camping. the great thing is it weighs next to nothing and takes up virtually no space. it really was a life saver that time. once on a group camping trip in july in sequoia, i was so terribly cold one night (we’d done 2 hikes that day–i think i didn’t eat enough and i was virtually hypothermic) that i literally got no sleep. i told the camp leader in the morning, just as a matter of interest and he immediatly gave me an extra large garbage bag to slip into. the next night, i think i put myself in the garbage bag frist, then into the sleeping bag.
