Ya know, a lot of people think we are crazy for ice fishing. I just tell them that you just have to know how to dress for it and you don't get cold. The same is true for sleeping on the ice. When I was a scout master, I learned at one of our Round Tables how to make a "Taco Bag". Basically it consists of putting one sleeping bag inside another, wrapping it in a blanket. put a good insulater between you and the ground and then wrap that all in a tarp. Works great for staying warm. My biggest problem was that the inside sleeping bag was a mummy bag, and with everything else wrapped all around it I was quite closterfobic. Couldn't hardly move. But I did stay warm.
