Hey Trout,
guessing you'll see this post as you still have a few days left on your trial membership. Recommend (if you buy a TT) that you get an older one since you'll probably beat it up anyhow. I've done some below freezing TM dry camping in Colorado, but never 0 degree stuff. Figure on not using any TM water system at 0*. Some folks put a little antifreeze in the toilet to ensure it doesn't freeze. I'd go Porta-potty and save the (frozen) battery's power for the furnace. Use collapsible 5 gal water jugs for supply water. Then drain into plastic tubs and toss outside (with minimal soap in it of course). Like Dave said, 0* is pushing it but doable. Take an extra trolling motor battery if you have one since battery power = life. FWIW, the most comfortable I've been out elk hunting in 0* was staying in a friend's army tent with inside put-together wood stove that vented out the top. Slick outfit. Lots of room to move around (and sit) and we were plenty warm. Good luck and let us know what you're leaning towards buying.
