Since you all liked the tent on the coast, I thought you might also enjoy this sighting. We spotted this species of comfort camper in the wild while we were up there.
Cozier than it looks
My contribution, winter camping really is fun!
A content contribution
Since I agree with @[email protected], I will contribute, too. I however, love the snow and ice for camping, hiking, backpacking, whatever.
This was taken on the coast after backpacking through the Olympics in Washington State.
Misty morning wake up
There was a bloody big croc cruising up the river.
He lives there all the time, You don't go into the water here
Was cold and rainy but still go a small fire going.
This is an old photo from June last year. It rained the whole time we where there. Had to let the heat of the fire dry out our wood.
Sub needs more camping pics. This is from a year ago.
I'm not a winter camper , although I'd like to try it. But i'm itching to get back out there when it warms up a little
End of December hammocking in Finland
Sharing just to give this community a little bit of content. This December has been temperamental with snow – we've gone from tons to nothing and back several times. I do prefer it like this, last winter was just tons and that sucked XD
Three of us took to the sticks to make some good food, enjoy some homebrew beer, sleep soundly in the fresh -5 °C conditions and perhaps get up before sunrise to take the shotgun for a walk. Did all that save for the early walk, everyone chose sleep instead :)
Tried cooking with a 'jätkänkynttilä' / log torch for the first time. It was a revelation. A single log that would make four pieces of firewood lasts long enough to cook a whole meal if not two. This was cut from fresh pine that had been felled by wind two weeks earlier. The log torch is going to see a lot more use in our future adventures, for the winter it's perfect!
My sleeping arrangements consist of a self-made monofil / silnylon double layer hammock, an Enlightened Equipment short down un
Took a tent but decided not to use it
Went on an overnight trip to the Buffalo River in Arkansas. The weather was nice enough to just sleep outside
Late November in Michigan
It was supposed to rain, but we pressed on, and it ended up being beautiful. Chilly but pleasant. Just cold enough to make you appreciate the warm fire. Plus the sound of the river to lull you to sleep.
Hard to beat!
Last camp oft the year
Little overnighter in Belgium before it gets too cold, wet and dark. Forgot my filters and didn't feel like cooking cowboy coffee, sitting in a Café now, getting some caffeine in :) Sunshine, beautiful autumn forest.
Coffee Time
In Diois, France. So nice to wake up with the birds next to me again.
How do you cook your coffee when camping?
First time canoe camping
Borrowed a canoe from a friend and canoed across a lake to camp. It was fun, hiked up to explore some more lakes from our camp. The dog didn't love the canoe, but did fine. The water was some of the clearest I've ever seen, will be returning to do some freediving. I do think I still prefer backpacking over canoe-camping. We rowed just over 2 miles to get to camp.
My last camping trip
Never posted pics on lemmy before so I'm not sure how this will play out
Edit: I'm trying to post another pic from the trail. But I can't figure out how
Edit 2: I did it!
Confused about sleeping bag temperature ratings
Where I live it rarely gets down to 32 degrees. I bought a bag that said 20 degrees. After reading the manual it said that was the extreme rating. Will this bag keep me warm at 32 degrees or not?
