			Good Idea, Greenmountain Colledge in VT would be a good place for advice. Our sons went there. We live in a geodesic dome every weekend all year. It has a woodstove but when it is out there is no heat. Here is what we have learned:-

			1) Hot water bottles. The old fashioned british kind, not drinking ones. Very hot water in them will last almost all night,but empty in the morning so they don't freeze. You can buy for $10 to $15 amazon. You don't want the little ones used for enemas!

			2) Keep layers you are not wearing inside your sleeping bag with you so they are warm in the morning.

			3) Never get cold, or even close if you can help it. Take action at the first signs by jumping up and down, arms swinging, putting on more layers etc. Once you are cold it's much harder to warm up again.

Scarves, hats, gloves.

All types of material, not just poly pro is useful. Wool!!! Fleece, down.

Gortex/nylon.

Also, not sure how people would respond but fur lined clothing is obviously very warm.
