my favorite way to stay warm is to boil some water and pour it into a good
quality hot water bottle and then place that between my knees or ankles
inside my sleeping bag. this keeps my nice and warm til morning. this also
works well out in the back country. just make sure its a bottle rated for
high temperatures and is properly sealed. a leaking or bursting hot water
bottle in your sleeping bag would be a major PITA.
