Read "To Build a Fire." I've been in places that cold, thankfully never lost in the woods. There are definitely places that you absolutely cannot get warmer no matter how many layers you put on.

Thankfully I now live in a place that it literally cannot get too hot or too cold.

...a subterranean lair?

Imperial Beach, California.

Though I wouldn't be opposed to a Hobbit Hole. They're earthquake, tornado, and fire proof. Probably hurricane proof as well.

Earthquake proof? Wouldnt it just collapse?

Not with a thick internal shell of plaster or concrete and wooden or steel beams that are built to tolerance. I suppose if you built them with Medieval technology, it would. I'd build it with a super-Adobe style wall, which should be able to withstand a fairly decent earthquake. Probably not any higher than a 6 or 7 on the Richter scale.

Layers alone don't do the trick. You need to move to generate heat in the first place. Once it drops below -20/-25C, you can pretty much only be still if you're in a good sleeping bag.
