Who is going winter camping this year?

i am going out shortly to field soem RIBZ and to bang around the ECOs some more (payed to play type stuff), but we are snowless east of us.

maybe later in the season we will get up to Lake Tahoe or thereabouts.

snow camping with huskies is the best.

Does a January campout in the Anza-Borrego Desert of Southern California qualify as winter camping?

Joking aside, I hope to do an overnight snowshoe up near Mammoth in February.

I'm going to try and get out this winter as well.
Might only be an overnighter to get me started with winter camping,
but it will be fun.

Cheers
 
I plan on going camping - but it is a bit warmer here because it is now Summer. My only challenge is keeping the amount of gear down to what will fit on a 400cc motor scooter, but with under seat storage, top box & tail bag - I can fit more than you would think (including several knives to play with).
 
Allready been out there Ken, planning a month north of lake Athabasca next month, F'ing Cdn forces.....

:D
 
In February I'm taking a 6-day xc-skiing trip across Baxter State Park with my father and some friends.
 
I'd love to get out this winter, but not with the -40C or colder temperatures we've been having lately. I think i have enough gear to go and be comfortable but im not sure i know anyone else that does.
 
If i dont get out this city soon and get into the woods, i'm going to start firebombing things.

so yes, a winter camp out is on my agenda. I hope to take the truck WAY up a certain decommissioned logging road, and get to the end of the old cutblocks. I will set up a camp, and build a fire, a fire so hot that the white ashes will cook my dinners in the dutch oven while i hike and explore.

Last winter i shared the silence and the massive snowflakes with a brilliant red Jay bird that danced about the snow and onto my outstretched hand to grab the crusty bread i offered, a cougar that circled my camp for two nights and days, before finally sitting 20 feet away in the snow, purring, and finally snatching up the chunk of fire cooked beef i threw, , many chipmunks and their antic and chatters, , and a HUGE eagle that soared over the river. The silence was utterly deafening. I experienced many emotions, and the sound of my heart and breathing scared the crap out of me. Hours of staring into the campfire passed, broken only by the snap and crackle of the wood.

I felt sick when i returned to Vancouver, and have felt sick ever since.

I need to get out of here. I'm honestly going nuts living in the city.
