Thanks for sharing the pics, nice to see!

What size is that tarp you're using? It just looks like a good size for sleeping under.

Good times.

Is there a pad/roll under the spruce bows? I'm going to be out in very similar stuff this weekend so just thinking about improving my insulation.

Thanks for the kind words guys....I was up in Harriman state park....THere is still about 3 ft of snow n the ground in certain areas...
THe tarp is 8x10
We each used a therma rest of one kind or aother on top of the spruce boughs (but minewasa 3 season)
this was my first time attempting a bough bed.. I did not thatcht them properly but just through them down,, But they di help, and left the shelter smelling awesome...

Looks like a great night out. Did you maintain the fire through the night or did you have some cold weather sleeping bags?
