Big difference in camping out in muzzle loader,archery season, or earlier rifle. Rules change come late October and November.
What rules change? From the first day of sharp stick season to the last day of late cow tipping, they stay the same. I can have my wife show you how to camp in cold. The old men that taught me were tough old dudes. Swallow a can of cold spam for dinner, roll out a tarp, drop sleeping bag, cover with tarp. Repeat the next day.
That's exactly what me and my brother did for years. A saddle horse with grub in the saddlebags and fart sack tied behind. Sleep when it got dark, ponies snubbed to a tree. Sometimes wasn't much fun, as we usually couldn't hunt for ourselves till all the hunters were done, and that was usually late in the season. Never died, but spent some cold, wet, miserable nights out to get an elk..... Nowadays I'm a wuss. A heated tent, good bag and better food as I'm not interested in suffering in my old age.
