Winter hiking/camping is a skill set that requires a lot of research and preparation.  Sad.

Man, that's sad.

I've been winter backpacking/camping in the past, and it's no joke.

Funny but not funny. What happened to him? I know he was dealing with health issues... I've checked his page a few times since he (mostly?) stopped posting and see he's still around, but what's up? Did they have to amputate all his postin' fingers or something? 🤔

@Nevada Convert this is your welfare check.

I wouldn't worry. He's disappeared several times over the years, but he always comes back.

Yeah, I've noticed that, but I recall he's dealing with some (serious IIRC) health issues. Here's to wishing you well, bud. 🍻

Done some snow shoeing and winter camping myself.  Absolutely awesome if you are prepared.

Late winter/early spring is my favorite time to camp.  Absolutely nobody around.  Good chance to hear or even see wolves.  Everything so silent and still.

No such thing as bad weather (except extreme heat IMO) just bad preparation.

Took my boys out in the Snowies… four feet of snow on the level.  Well below zero at night.  Had a blast.  The solitude and peacefulness was life changing.  Freeze dried food coffee and we had fun

One of my favorite camping trips was 2 years ago on February 12th through the 16th for my birthday.  I took my GF at the time and to this day I am so proud of her.  The highs were in the single digits, the low was -1 to + 5 but with a wind feels like of - 14 at times.

It's also the only time I have been on fire.  The wind was so strong it blew our camping chairs into the fire. I ran out of the tent in my 3 layers of long John's (we had the rain fly adjusted so we could see the fire out of the corner of the tent) and picked them up and tossed them over my shoulder.  The melted shit went all over me and caught my long johns on fire.  The first and only time I had to stop, drop and roll.

Good thing we all learned how to stop, drop, and roll in elementary school! 🤣

My favorite was hiding under the desk for the nuclear attack drills.  Like that was going to do anything.

I really want it to be real, but can't make it through more than 10 mins of these fcktards TV shows before wanting to slap myself upside the head.  The lengths they go to prove their own stupidity is hilarious.
