    When my son was two or three we went camping. He fell asleep in the car. We arrived and setup the tent and moved him in. When he woke the sun was shining through dew covered canvas magically lighting the tent above his 'bed' - 30+ years later the memory of his smile of wonder still delights me.

    Another tip for those new to winter camping, which is a "yes, but" on Jon's advice about starting warm and working up to colder temperatures. Near freezing, either just above or just below is the worst weather for camping. You will get wet, which will make you cold, which in turn can be deadly. "Comfortably" below freezing has the advantage that you won't get wet from the weather. Go slow, adjust your layers, and change clothes as needed to manage your perspiration and stay dry.

    • @LostLakes
      @LostLakes  Год назад +6

      Very true...when it hovers around freezing is tough

    • @brentkelly5445
      @brentkelly5445 Год назад

      Yep. I do snow removal. The second last snow storm Toronto had(around zero Celsius) I was soaking wet in 1 hour if clothing is at all suspect. One year old gortex gloves a sponge immediately.Soaked to the bone for about the ten hours. Warm enough while we worked but freezing when we stopped. The last storm, minus 10 to 15...a little damp after 5 hours but from within i think. Cold is different issues. After 10 years I think PVC/PU rainwear (especially gloves) around zero to minus 5 approx. I bought a full set yesterday for work and to try with winter camping

    • @jh1828

I've learned a lot already (and been inspired to even try it) from watching your videos, but this direct, all in one tutorial is much appreciated. Definitely bringing a bucket this year to sit on, my chair was such a pain in the butt last year.

    I haven't been there in years in the winter, but hot camp is where it's at. So nice having a warm cabin, an outhouse and of course the sauna bath. The hard part is when you go to the outhouse and that 1/2 second sitting on the cold seat. I do admire you and others that hot tent. I am way too old now. All the trips in the past...if only i had the camera technology of now and RUclips. You would be amazed if you knew how much work it took to build our camp before many of the newer logging roads were made.
