DAE hit 27 nights in their tent last year and still call themselves a beginner?
I logged my trips in a notebook and ended at 27 nights out, which felt like a lot until I counted zero of them below 40 degrees. My buddy says you're not a real camper til you've slept through a hard freeze, but I think gear reviews lie about how often you actually test the cold stuff. Where's everyone else land on this, is night count or season the real measure?
