Surviving a Bitter Cold Night in the Wilderness (3°F) No Tent or Sleeping Bag in a Primitive Shelter

I drove out into the wilds of Northern Pennsylvania to spend the night using a wool blanket, a primitive shelter I built with natural materials, and a Siberian Log Fire that burns for hours. I put hot rocks under my raised bed so that the heat would keep me nice and toasty. While I’m out there, I cook some hot dogs, a delicious rack of lamb, and brew some coffee over the fire.
