I know a guy who says he slept well minus a sleeping bag in cold weather by digging a trench, building a nice bed of coals in said trench, and sleeping under an overhanging granite boulder while the heat bounced off the rock.

Unfortunately overhanging granite boulders aren't ultralight and digging trenches to fill with coals isn't LNT. crazy
