How the fuck do people camp in winter? I watch these youtube videos of people who have like mini stoves, giant pots, pans, knives, cooking stews and pasta out in the middle of bum fuck no where in the snow. How do they lug all this shit around?
>>2801745In a backpack
>>2801745>>2801755In a car.
>>2801745What an absolutely shitty camping spot. >>2801756Correct.
>>2801745100lbs of gear in a sled really isnt that bad, 2 people can bring a shitload of luxury items at 100lbs each.
I don't know but I want to try it. I have no idea what I need to buy and what I can reuse from summer camping though
>>2801745you have to go outside first
>>2801773>curryGet the fuck back to India Ranjeet
>>2801781boy it sure is new in here. first time on a different board than /pol/?
>>2801781Dude chill, Japanese curry is honorary. Back in the closet and polish some shine into that klat. >>2801745Social media isn't real.
>>2801745They don't.If you thrive in the cold you rarely need half that shit.>le may may camping mini stovesI have a sleeping bag that goes to -50 and I have multiple pairs of base layers on and comfy gloves, shoes for just being in the tent.Wind chill is the biggest factor and you can beat that out just being in some tree lines.I ain't camping outside for 5 weeks in the literal tundra hellscape. It's like a few days at most. So just build a wall and build a fire.
>>2801745snowdogs are nicecan bring damn near anything you want just add more sleds in the line
remember to piss in a coca cola bottle or similar before going to bed, keeps your sleeping bag warm and no sense in wasting that heat
>>2801816Remember to just put your water sources in your sleeping bag with you since they act as insulation and to prevent them from freezing. helps regulate temperature also.
minus 10 celsius we in military bootcamp in conscription thing had tarp and 2 sleeping bags and sleeping mat, no tent because recon and cant give off heat signature or big thing in forest to be seen by people or thermal, was warm enough then 2nd night ´it got colder and they made us put A roof of 2 tarps togheter and made us sleep with battlebuddies under same roof so heat would get trapped and it seemed to work when we put our bags behind our heads as a 3rd wall
>>2801819Should check out the army arctic training.>cold? gay boy yourself between those 5 men>when they get cold they will gay boy between you and someone else>repeat until morning when you didn't sleep at all because to sleep was to dieNot my favorite time in my life, after that literally anything was better, we got to make fake igloo like shelters underneath trees and it was still pretty gay boy, but a lot less gay boy.military is pretty gay.
>>2801820nice there is some alluminium foil sleeping mats n tarps i have found, seems they could trap heat even better but is just not as camo, over it is olive green under is alluminium shiny
>>2801824Fjellduken, if you're into that kind of thing.
What if you gotta shit or piss in the middle of the night? Seems like a major pain to have to get redressed and all and then get warm again in the dead of night.
>>2801771It's really dependent on just how cold it is how different the equipment is. But the big feature is that you have manage heat and moisture differently. In the summer it doesn't matter if your hands are wet but in sub-freezing that's a major concern.Layering is basically the same, you just need more insulation. Something different for winter is that you'll want to look not just at your body but your insulation against the ground and objects. A sitting pad to keep your ass, knees, or even feet from cold ground. Thin inner gloves so that you can manipulate things without exposed skin. A closed cell sleeping pad on top of your normal air pad. A warm sleeping bag, rated not just for the expected temps but better. A clear sky on a windy night can drop temps quickly.Shelter is very often the same, you can still hammock, tent, tarp, like you do in 3 season weather. You just need to pay far more attention to site selection. Learn about how local geography can affect temps. Create barriers with snow or gear to slow air flow under the tarp. Mitigate condensation when possible.Food you can just eat a little more of it. Find a way to insulate what you are eating out of to keep it warm longer. Consume warm beverages to raise your body temp. Use hot water in a nalgene to pre-heat your sleeping bag. Take a look at your cooking solution and under stand how it is affected by cold temps. Far from exhaustive here. Lots of good resources out there if you look. Aaron Linsdau is dry but he is well versed in extreme cold weather and I have gotten a lot of info and inspiration from him. And test your gear! Car camping, in the yard, somewhere with a very short hike in, etc. all useful to test your setup in the cold while keeping a bail out. And if you can, bring a thermometer and track temps, nothing informs future decisions like actual data.
>>2801745Last weekend I picked up a military Scow/Ahkio sled for $140. We used these for cold weather training in the Marines and they were pretty handy. They can be loaded with 200 lbs and are tough as fuck. I am going to fabricate a setup to use it as a budget Pulk as well.For stoves they can be very light if you go minimal or spend more on titanium, I have both an ultralight titanium flatpack one and a larger steel one. Something like 10 lbs vs 30 lbs difference, though the heavy one is nice against wind.
>>2801839Eat and Drink mostly before around 5-6pm then cut off consuming stuff so that you don't have to.
>>2801839Piss, use a bottle.Shit? Time your shit better.
>>2801745>I watch these youtube videos of people who have like mini stoves, giant pots, pans, knives, cooking stewsyou dont need all that. you just need suitable tent, sleeping bag and sleeping mat. you'll obviously need a suitable clothing as well.
Camping in the winter is a giant meme>wow, it's dark at 4:30, everything is wet and covered in snow, it's -20 degrees with 50mph winds, putting my tent up was a nightmare, I had to lug fifty pounds of equipment to get here, and I'm eating boiled beans for dinner, I'm having so much FUCKING FUN!!!
>>2802332its pretty
>>2802332You sound incompetent.
Camping in the winter is a giant win>wow, I am not being mauled by mosquitoes and I'm not getting mobbed by flies when I cook since they are fucking dead>I don't have to listen to drunk yee haws blasting music since they are too scared to camp in winter and the snow dampens acoustic, so peaceful. >I have to lug some extra gear but it's way easier to move over the snow in a sled
