@intrepidhero Looking back, I remembered sleeping out in the open in the Drakensberg back in the 90s.
It was in the middle of winter and we hastily abandoned our ice climbing base camp due to a group of herdsmen gathering around it. We descended the closest pass and then overnighted next to a big boulder on a slight slope. There was no place for tents, but we were not expecting any rain.
I had one of those old alcohol min-max thermometers with me and that night it recorded -17ºC. Good that we all had decent down dleeping bags with pertex outers, because there was moisture and one person's sleeping bag did have frost over the foot box.
The tail of the story: As we got up the next morning we noticed a dark cloud on the horizon. As we walked out it grew and grew and eventually it started snowing. It ended up being one of the largest snow falls in the Drakensberg for a long time. We made it out, but other parties got trapped and needed to be rescued.
🌿 Ever wondered what it's like to explore a rainforest paradise?
