What does one use for bait to catch ice?
I had a house in McCloud, at the base of Mt. Shasta. Not even that cold, but I found out I didn't want to move there for retirement. Too much shoveling and darkness. Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, the North Bay is as far north as I can go.
they have tent popups that hook directly up to your car..do you live in Antarctic?

And that does not look warm in a blizzard.

They were to expensive for your average person.
Campmore was pretty cool or Cabela's
Is this more like you, the REAL manly stuff? (UB is fucked up, right?)

That is pretty damn hot, but does not sustain solo in winter.

I once looked like that. I could again, Iff'n I wanted to. It's just so much dedication.

It so looks like something Luigi Colani would promote as cool, performance figures be damned

From what you said, you don't generate enough heat for passive warming to keep you comfortable. Even in an expedition North Face bag. That bag is top notch, so something else is needed for when you are out star gazing in winter.
ideas:
- A bivy sack. Your bag slips into a waterproof shell. Cuts heat transfer but the bag unzips at front to give you that view you are braving the cold for.
- A well insulated pad
- An inner liner for your bag.
- Put warm clothes on before getting into the bag.
- Admit that you are over-constraining your design and get an electric heater.
- Watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos at home while sipping a warm beverage.
I have this little popup tent trailer. Weighs 250 pounds and unfolds into a comfortable tent with a full-size bed platform. Though its more of a three season tent. It is towed by motorcycles and small cars.

Maybe not Cosmos.
But there is an Apollo documentary called In the Shadow of the Moon. (The title is shared with a cheap horror loop.) That, a warm beverage and a hoot of dab, gosh twist my arm harder.
As for the advice, um yeah my low wattage does constrain choices. I was hoping there was a new sewable sheet that did what six inches of glass insulation do.

Better than a tent that sits on the cold ground. That will chill you to the bone.

I am pretty impressed with a car in development called Aptera. Once (crosses fingers) I get one of those, it’ll be a great power source for electrified garments.

That is pretty sweet. I've seen others, too, even hard, fully enclosed, that I could tow with my Subaru.
