How to keep Max warm and dry when larping in November

Daytime.

Wear:
Underwear
Jog pants
leather trousers
paid of socks
pair of carrier bags (on feet)
second pair of socks
pair of leather boots
t shirt
cagoule
tiger-print leotard
furry bodywarmer
long tabard (reaches to mid-shins)
giant leather (lammied) hero belt
suede and fake fur oversize waistcoat
fur coat without arms
cut off sleeves of a sheepskin coat
fleece cloak

And run around a bit. All waterproof and warm. Yay!

Night time
Version 1:
Sleep in t shirt, socks and balaclava using bedding that goes:
airbed
picnic blanket
4 season sleeping bag with a 3 season sleeping bag inside it
large, heavy, fake fur and fleece blanket on top
large wool cloak on top of that
hug a hot water bottle tightly

Wake up cold at 7.30am after about 4 hours' sleep.

Version 2:

Find spare bunk availability at 5am while chatting to [livejournal.com profile] irdm, sleep until 9am, struggle to leave cosy warm bedding to obtain food, eventually managing it at 10am.

Result:
Super-sleepy Max.
