When we were "winter camping" (traveling from Texas to Michigan and
backin January and back to visit my family (I still don't know what we
were thinking)), we had good luck with layered clothes, zipped together
sleeping bags, a down comforter inside the sleeping bags, and a dog at
our feet.

Our Australian Cattle dog, Angel, was a great foot warmer! Part way
through the night, she'd get too warm and burrow back up between us to
cool off, and then head back down to our feet where it was warm when her
nose got too cold.
