@EchoedbyGodThe canopy bed with plenty of layers of blankets and sheets above and below you would definitely help help you warm. Trappling your own body heat is a known studied survival skill.

@PoppaYahtzeeJust found your channel. Your voice is so relaxing I've subscribed. Enjoying your channel from Stonehenge in England.
I would love some boring history about Solstice at Stonehenge and sleeping outside whilst they rested from travelling many miles, to offer gifts for a good harvest.
Meanwhile Vikings crossed the seas in open longboats 😆 Were people stupid? Just get the same protective sleeping bags made from stitched animal hides.
