Boy Scout troop snow cave campout back in February. 12 boys, 4 adults, 2 days, 1 night. Lookout pass on the border between the Idaho panhandle and Montana. Elevation = 4,700 feet. 1.5 mile hike in. Highs in the low 30s, low of 13 degrees fahrenheit. First attempt at anything like this, so I was just winging it. Turned out ok. Definitely more comfortable than last year in a cave.
Under insulation = 25" wide inflatable pad (5.7 R-Value) and a dirty old foam pad laid across for the shoulders. Top insulation = 15 degree sleeping bag with liner. Warm enough. Next year I'll try to hang in a fully enclosed igloo!
