Buy a zero degree sleeping bag. I personally do not recommend a mummy bag I think they are very uncomfortable. Get thermal underwear, wool socks, beanie and scarf. They also have chemical hand and foot warmers, you shake the packet and it emits 12 hours of heat. Bring plenty of firewood and warm drinks, tea or instant coffee. Good luck, have fun!

There are so many tips and tricks to camping in the cold - you have to think about bedding and clothing and food and activities.

So, I found two very good sites that list all the things you need to think about, and when I say all, I mean all, very extensive lists and really worth bookmarking, even if you're only going on a day walk :)

oh, looks cold!!!!

The main question to when camping in cold weather is how can you keep yourself warm.
1. Get a cold weather camping tent, something that people who climb the himalayas mountain uses.
2. Second survival kit medicine, flash light, cooking material the basic stuff, communication equipment.
3. Set up your tent away from place where there is possibility for landslide or snow caving in .
4. Prepare a fix plan on escape route, ask about snow fall history of the area where you want to camp.

If you are prepared to survive in the himalayas- camping anywhere would just like a piece of cake.
