We've used it as a floor for our sleeping platform, a lean-to, couch cover, igloo cover during rain, shade cover in the sun, igloo door, extension of the tent vestibule, and blanket while stargazing. Extra long snow stakes for the tent and tarp. Lots of closed-cell foam pads, for sleeping, sitting, kneeling, and for under the stove. Self-inflating sleeping pad. Sleeping bag with a breathable outer shell that keeps moisture away from the down filling.
Plastic bags keep snow off everything.
Put boots and gaiters in them at night. Slide down hills on them. Bring candles, chemical light sticks, and an extra flashlight. Stay dry, stay warm. Insulated booties with nonslip nylon soles.
