Got caught in an early blizzard while camping in Norway once. We had a homemade tent with no floor. Packed the snow down as much as we could with the truck and set the coleman gasoline heater in the center of the tent. The heater sunk down until it reached solid ground, and mosquitoes flew up from the melted snow. Got to playing my guitar to pass the time, and left the water cans out in the cold. We cooked with melted snow for a couple of days while the drinking water thawed out. We had made sure to keep the cooking wine inside the tent, so we had plenty to drink in the meantime. Burn my guitar? My first wife!? Never!!
