It's not that cold right now, about 32F / 0C, but we are having our first snow of the season. About 2" / 5cm. I fabricated a fire box two weeks ago to use on my deck, and had it going tonight. My sixteen year old son and I were outside for about two hours while it was snowing, keeping warm by the fire and eating apple pie my wife had just made. In order to get the full effect from the fire, he refused to wear warm clothes. He wore a tee shirt, blue jeans and sandals! He enjoys being crazy. He used my Eagletac P10A2 to get some wood from the wood pile. He likes that one a lot. I used my current EDC, Nitecore D10.
I'm really impressed by the cold weather performance of the Eneloop or Hybrids batteries. Last weekend I was backpacking in the Catskills, also on two inches of snow, and I used them a lot. It gets dark so early this time of year out in the woods, but I didn't have to use any of my spare batteries, the Duraloops I was using seemed to give the same amount of runtime that they give during indoor use.
