Winter Camping

By Mike Greaves

Most people think that camping season is in the spring and summer, but fall and winter camping can be just as rewarding. If you do not mind the cooler temperatures, you can have just as good a time as in the summer.

The only real difference is the type of equipment you bring. Of course you will need a warmer sleeping bag, a good wool cap and maybe a tent heater. Your tent will have to be a little more wind and water resistant than a fair-weather tent but you probably want to have a better tent than that anyway.

Some of the benefits of winter camping are that the bugs are gone because of the colder temperatures and a lot of the other campers are gone for the same reason. I always thought that one of the reasons to go camping was to get away from the crowd.

Hiking can be a little more enjoyable because of the cooler temperatures and you won�t have to carry as much water.

Of course in the evening it can get pretty cold so be sure to bring the proper clothing and footwear. A good pair of warm socks and boots can keep your feet warm and dry. A good warm shirt and a cold weather jacket are a must for comfort and safety.
