Dan, you are inspirational. This one is dedicated to you.
MY FAVORITE KIND OF FEET
My favorite kind of feet would be
Unshackled from wingtip brand
And lightly clad in heavy boots
On a distant mountain strand.
Not wall-locked in by schedule's need
Mired in desk and file
But cooly soaking in a creek
And resting for awhile.
O'er fern lined path til camp is reached
After day's long end
With unlacing boots and rubbing soles
And coffee with a friend.
Hopeful

It sounds like you use a technique my husband, some friends and I
discovered when we found ourselves unprepared for a cold night. We call
it "breathing through your sleeve."
As others have said, diving to the bottom of the bag makes you suffocate,
then you stick a nose out, cold air rushes in and you freeze. Wrapping
our heads in jackets and breathing through the sleeve worked pretty well,
though I wouldn't want to sleep that way unless I had to.
