Good tips. I would also add: -Wind protection. Wind over the bag will wick away body heat. Anywind barrier will save you lots of body heat. -Wear all your extra clothes or lay extra clothes and gear over your bag. -In extreme weather, pile pine needles, leaves or pine boughs over your bag for added insulation. -Pile your gear close around you to keep you from sliding off your insulated pad while you sleep. -Wear a warm stocking cap while sleeping.
Duty of the Militia (that means you and me): "The Militia, to Enforce the laws of the Union, to surpress Insurection and repel Invasion. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." -Constitution of the United States of America http://www.constitution.org/
