Interesting idea. Something I do on cold nights when camping in the back country is to put some rocks in my fire and bury the firepit when the coals are hot and sleep on top of that. Usually keeps me warm enough to at least get 4 or 5 hours of comfortable sleep during cold nights.
- WalterBright 4y agoYup. When I watch "Alone" where the contestants are supposedly survival experts, I often wonder about their ineptness around fire, fireplaces, chimneys, etc. None seem to have hit on the idea of putting a rock in the fire, then wrapping it in some insulation then putting it in the sleeping bag. Some make themselves sick from the smoke (inadequate chimney), more than one burned down their shelter. (I have no idea how to hunt & fish, but I bet I could build an adequate shelter and fireplace.)
