Went to the Chilcotin plateau a few years back. It was November, but unseasonably warm when we left. When we set up camp that night the temperature was falling fast. We had a wall tent fashioned from conduit, plywood and tarps with a woodstove inside. I slept on an air mattress at the far end of the tent from the stove near the door. Until I acclimatized, I had to sleep with a track suit on, toque on my head and in 2 sleeping bags with a down comforter. My insulated coffe mug with water froze every night and I had to break ther ice to get a drink if it was aftr 11 PM
All thqat with a woodstove going cherry red al night.

Best trip I ever had. I will take that any day over a typical Pacific Northwest ady consisting of rain, hail, snow, wind and sun, but mostly rain any day.

Ther is nothing worse than wet and cold!
