camping out in cold weather

So I got an invite to go duck hunt Friday Saturday and Sunday in the atchafalaya river basin. I'm not the biggest hunter but with shitty fishing weather I'll probably go. My only concern is the temperature. What's the OB stance on camping in 30 degree weather.
PS. I hate cold weather but I can't stand staying at home when there are potential good trips out there

Bundle up, build a fire, etc.
If you are duck hunting you will be up and moving during the coldest part of the day.

With proper equipment, I love it.
Will you be in tents or a bunkhouse/trailer?

Another tip:
I am warmer in my sleeping bag when I have less clothes on. Supposedly it reflects heat better and keeps you warmer. If you're getting a cheap bag, get one that's rated for under 0°. A higher quality one doesn't need to go that cold

My coldest tent camping adventure...... around 20-25 degrees with 30-40 mph winds with gusts to 50. We were sleeping on a glacier above the clouds so it was cold from every direction.

my stance is that i dont let the weather get in my way.
Of course i have awesome cold weather gear, a zero degree bag, and a four season tent which helps.

Good sleeping bag. Down is the best insulation. Also a thick foam pad to get you off the ground. Air mattress makes my back cold. Walmart has 32 degree down bags for $79. Get two, one to get inside and one to put on top.
If you have a nalgene bottle you can put some hot water in it and put inside sleeping bag with you. It will stay hot for a while.

Bring an air mattress. It keeps you off of the cold ground. As long as I have my dog and air mattress I'm warm.

#1 is don't sleep on the ground. Use a mat

Put your socks and your base layers in bag with you and put on before you exit bag. You can drop a propane lantern from center of tent and crank it up when you wake up, it heats the tent in no time.

30 deg ain't bad at all. You can get by with cheap stuff. Just layer up. A small tent is a must to block the wind when you're sleeping.
Here's what i do for temps in 30 deg range:
-Small tent (1 or 2-man)
-Sleeping bag
-Simple fleece sleeping bag liner over the sleeping LINK
-A regular bed sheet laid atop the liner
The sheet will add more warmth than you think.
Cold weather camping is the best! No bugs.
