Considering the time period, aren’t you “camping” every day?

Now that was a fierce and unpredicted snowstorm! They almost suffocated. At least it keeps the bears away.

I have been on winter camping camping trips with a temperature of 5 below. (In the army).

Easy work for the colorist today.

Wish MY snow would “FOOP”. My snow never foops. I’m foop-deprived! Foopless! l live in a foop-free zone!

I’m glade I never lived in a zone that got this much snow.

In the early 70s my two brothers and I were camping in the Colorado mountains at about 11000 feet in the middle of the summer. My older brother and I were sleeping outside with a tarp pulled over us because it was sprinkling on and off during the night. I remember waking and talking to my brother. We were both amazed as to how warm and comfy our bed was. When we pushed back the tarp; we found we were covered with about 6 inches of snow.

LOL

That’s in tents.

In the Stone Age, every day was a camping trip.

We were at campground in the Utah mountains and the next morning there was a foot of snow. This was in early June.

Common sense is an uncommon virtue.

Been there, done that, but it was in the Army.

My first winter camp out with Boy Scouts, we went to a lake in Wisconsin and slept in tents. There was about 3 ft of snow and the lake was frozen thick enough to play on. After a morning of snow play, the troop leaders fixed us a big lunch that we ate outside on picnic tables. The guys in my patrol decided it was my turn to do the dishes. I wondered how to keep the water from freezing. It was bright, sunny, calm and about 4 below (-20C), but with hot water from the big pot on the fire, that was not a problem. Something else was… I have trouble with overheating, and with my hands in the hot water, my temperature started to go up. So I set aside my outer coat. Then my under coat. Then my uniform shirt. Then my soft shirt. I still had my heavy winter boots, a pair of jeans and heavy corduroy pants, but otherwise I was bare. Once the dishes were put away, I got everything back on and joined the hockey game taking place on the lake, in boots, not skates.

I dunno.  One of my most memorable moments while camping was waking up to a very quiet morning with the area covered in a soft, white blanket of snow!

The only time I ever went winter camping, it was in a cabin.

Shouldn’t they both have fooped?

That’s what happens when you let the fire go out.

Winter Klondike is absolutely a blast! Ask any boyscout.

Oh yea? Watch the many winter outings, for example: www.youtube.com/channel/UCFO4Fywr5eUN792k1OhmPxA She’s hot!

My winter camping trips these days are in the pickup truck camper to Southern Arizona (I live in Colorado). With COVID spiking in AZ, we’re just putting up with the snow and cold.

I lived and worked in Sun Valley, Idaho, so deeper snow was never an issue. Since I also lived there winter camping was also never an issue. After High school I worked for the Forest Service for two years. It was two years of “spike camps” or living where you were working. Camping 52 weeks of the year!

Agreed for me too

Like Lewis And Clark in the mountains of present-day Idaho.
