Anyone have tips for camping in near zero degree weather?

If you're car camping it's pretty easy to be comfortable. You have room for a lot of gear.

Snowshoeing/hiking into the backcountry is a different ballgame. Unless you're willing to pack a sled you have to be smart and know your pack will be heavy. Snow camping is fun if that's how you view it. If you're prepared with the proper pad, bag, liner, and clothing and a good attitude and enough whiskey it is a helluva time

Good down booties are the shite btw.

Water freezes unless it's in your bag with you.

Don't underestimate how much stove fuel you'll need. You'll be melting snow for water. Depending
upon how far from your rig you are you should carry extra fuel and food.

Bring a shovel so you can create a level area for your tent. You might have to dig it out too.

Cook/melt snow in the vestibule area but a cute trick is to dig a hole and put the stove in it so it blocks the wind. The hole doubles as a way to tie your laces of your boots while inside your tent. Just step in with 1 foot and tie the other.
