Sara set up the tent inside a toy shop on two air mattresses where she would spend the night. With double sleeping bags, thick socks, and packed food, she was definitely prepared for the cold night ahead.
– I had prepared for it to be much colder, so I slept very well. It was warm and comfortable.
Been a scout leader for 15 years
Being out in nature and preparing for tough weather situations is something Sara is used to. For over 15 years, she has been a scout leader.
– The more you practice being outdoors, the better it goes. If someone had asked me to do this 15 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to, says Sara.
Got sick after the overnight stay
When SVT spoke with Sara Leuf on Friday, she was at home sick from work. The cold overnight stay had still left its mark.
– I’ve been feeling a cold coming on for several weeks but it didn’t break out. So I think it may have tipped over. But I didn’t feel cold at all and I felt great, says Sara Leuf.
In the video, you can see what it was like when Sara stayed overnight in the school’s shop during the snowstorm.
