The question is simple, show me the details of how much a normal body temperature drops from 98.6F before hypothermia becomes a factor to one's sleeping on an 18" queen-sized air-mattress for 6 hours. The outside temperature when entering the tent is 28 degrees Fahrenheit and through the course of the night drops to 10 degrees Fahrenheit and under the following circumstances?
When we pitch our tent, first the ground is cleared of,snow, ice, large rocks & stones and raked. Then we place a custom made ground-tarp thick 6mil. The Kodiak Cabin Wall 10x14 tent is pitched which has a thick vinyl floor. Next we spread 8-4x6' unrolled Army sleeping pads over the surface of the floor to give us separation from our feet coming into contact with the vinyl floor. The queen-sized air-mattress is a top-of-the-line insulated 18" high Aerobed. Once inflated it is covered first with a fitted-sheet, and two California King-sized wool blankets are placed on top. Anyone can see I'm a gear hog and proud of it! Next goes our winter-rated to -30 degree sleeping bags and on top of the sleeping bags is placed two additional fleece blankets. We each sleep in light-weight nylon insulated long-sleeved underwear. Just prior to retiring to our bed of air, I always turn off the Big Buddy 2 burner heater, zip up the open windows and settle down for our night's nap. Been doing this way for at least 10 years.
Please someone show me the details of how much my body temperature(98.6F) will drop using this system for winter camp sleeping? Also would like to see the details of how much a normal temperature of 98.6F would drop just using a sleeping pad; an insulated sleeping pad and also using no pad at all?
If there is a huge difference in the numbers(not generalities) then I might rethink our sleeping configuration.
