Group keeps warm camping overnight

Are you tired of the cold weather? A group of people set out to defy mother nature overnight, by camping outside all night long.
The group held a campout on the sidewalk at Gateway Mall, to prove you can stay warm in extreme cold. News Specialist Debbie Dujanovic reports.
Huddled inside a tent on a mall sidewalk, Jill and Michael are camping in the cold overnight.
Brian Brawdy is an outdoor survivor expert, who roped them in to trying something new!
"Just to have some fun in their lives, " Brawdy said. "To do something different than hang out inside over the weekend, or through the course of the week."
The goal is to stay warm all night, in 20-degree weather.
By 6 am they've warmed up to the idea.
Jill Stewart said, "Every single part of my body was warm, except the top of my head, which is why it is good to wear a hat, probably."
Michael Allen says he did really well. "I slept in a t-shirt, my pants, and took off my socks in the middle of the night because I was getting too hot."
Brian Brawdy is spending the entire Olympics hanging out at Gateway, teaching people to stay warm for hours in extreme cold.
"We were prepared to go to 45 below zero," he said. "We knew it wasn't going to be there. But we had enough gear to handle that temperature."
For camping, all it takes is a winter tent, some down sleeping bags, and what's called a thermarest mattress that keeps your body heat in your body.
But what if you're not camping, and just partying during the Games?
"Fashion has a lot to do with it. You'd be surprised how many people trade comfort for fashion."
We ditch all fashion sense for a face mask designed to regulate body temperature.
"It's giving you warm air back into your body and lungs, so that your body is able to pump blood into your fingers and toes."
Gortex boots, gloves, and a good pair of socks with a wicking material — designed to draw moisture away from your feet. Add a good thermal layer and you're set to have fun in the cold.
If you don't like the face mask idea, a hat is a great substitute. Remember, you lose 70-percent of your body head from your neck up, so bundle up and enjoy.
