Really Cold Camping Tips
![](http://www.boyscouttrail.com/i/boyscout/zeroheronew.gif)
But, when it's really cold, like 20F below zero, there are more weird things that happen and stuff for which you might not be prepared:
- Shock cords in tent poles freeze and lose their stretch
- Lips freeze to metal spoons and tin cups
- Bananas and carrots make good hammers
- Moisture escaping from sleeping bags freezes into an ice shell
- Propane stoves stop working
- Water bottles freeze solid and crack open
These are all things experienced last weekend by our scouts as 7 of them earned their council Zero Hero awards.
