You have got to take extra precautions if you are planning to camp in the winter.
1. Keep track of the weather forecast before you go camp. The weather can change on a dime in the winter.
2. Take more than enough food and preps. You never know what could happen and you might be stuck for a few days because of a snow storm.
3. Have several ways to keep warm. They have foldable wood burning stoves now that would help. Plus have sleeping bags that are graded for below zero weather. Have layers on with thermal underwear. Gloves are a must.
4. Navigation tools for getting anywhere safely in a winter storm. If you have to get anywhere to safety , you need to be able to navigate. Know you surroundings.
5. The right boot could save your life. It can get very slippery in the winter and you have to have traction. My son also has a great Folding Collapsible Travel Hiking Walking Stick Trekking Pole
, that he takes with him every time he hikes and camps.
6. Only camp in places that are frequented by other campers and are known camping sites. You will be easily found and you can easily find your way out if the winter weather gets to bothering you.
7. It gets darker earlier in the winter than it does in the summer so have plenty of lighting and batteries.
If you prepare for everything - you can camp in the winter!
