It’s far from perfect but it was warm and dry and I didn’t have to worry as much about bears Messing with my gear as we were surrounded with them ( There’s one less out there now). Not sure how I’m going to handle November’s cold this year?! Keep the ideas coming everyone!!

If you want to sleep in the canopy in the cold, you need a really good sleeping bag and something like a Kerosene space heater for a quick morning warm up before you have to roll out of the sack. Still have one that we used for years in the cargo trailer and canopy of the truck. The new Little Buddy Ice shelter heater might work well too.
I still have this model too for use in cabins, large tents etc.
