I slept in my backyard a couple of weeks ago in 14-degree temps with a 20-degree UQ and TQ. I was comfortably warm.
I did three things: used a winter tarp with closed doors, pulled to the ground. used a Nalgene full of hot water, in a sock. ate a big dinner.
Do not neglect to put fuel in your belly. That's an under-appreciated factor for staying warm on cold winter nights outdoors.
The only way you'll know if you'll be warm or cold is to experiment. Everybody is different. Best to you.
