If you cut some pine boughs and lay them down to make a 12" of so layer then put the thermarest on top you'll be truly warm.

I have used the thermarest neoair in Alaska on a 8 night backpack hunt with no issues.  The patch kit is super light and if you take care of it, it will last forever.

I had it out about 12 nights in real backcountry and loved it.  I have a good buddy that has had it in AK three times and many many other areas with no issues as well.

Hey Autumn, how is the Tyvek on noise. I move around so much at night, wonder if it is noisy. I use a Thermorest, but sounds like I need to check out a Big Agnes Air.

When I was cross-country skiing in the bush we used 3mm closed cell foam to line the floor of the tent and 25mm closed cell under the sleeping bags. Nice and warm and the snow under the foam made a soft mattress.
