Well, after sleeping outside and actually experiencing temps that pushed my gear to the limits I made another video and posted it to my blog in which I ramble on about how I felt it did and then I also let my son do a little talking, not that he talked much... http://www.backpacker.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hey Stick,
Enjoyed the Vid as always, Have you tried putting your G.G. Pad under the NeoAir instead of on top?
Since the NeoAir is designed to return warmth to your body and reduce heat loss to the ground, I wonder if the pad would work better under it.
I haven't used mine in the cold yet so I can't say for sure.
Thanks for the review!!

great video, a very well behaved boy, (you must be a proud dad)
ventilation is key as you may know, always leave the door unzipped at the top, and keep the screen closed,( had a mouse jump in the tent one winter night and do some laps 'round the tent before jumpin' out.
they say you dump 2 liters of water into your bag each night in winter just from your body warmth. i have a nf ve-25 it's yellow and it stays nice and bright inside even on cloudy winter days, and heats up fairly well on a sunny day, enough to somewhat dry out your bag during the day if you're base camping somewhere, and doing day hikes.
