Potentially a relevant question: would the U.S. military extended cold weather clothing system a good way to get cheap gear that will hold up in pretty austere conditions?
>>2848831Good tent. Took it out again last weekend and got a dusting of snow. Pic related is from the eclipse last year.
>>2848404because i hate wage cucking with every fiber of my being
>>2848380>stable snow alreadyDon't make me jealous
>>2848380I went for a dry run last week on the outskirts of a small town. Here in the UK it's late "fall" now, but it was not very cold. Thermals, cotton clothes and a thin hoodie were fine. I forgot to buy firelighters along the way despite carrying a folded camping stove the whole distance. The ground was very damp making hard travel but I loved it. I considered drying some kindling with a lighter and then keeping it next to my body heat to make it fire-ready, but a fire was not necessary.Didn't buy the optional groundsheet for my tipi tent, couldn't fully relax outside of the inner tent because the mud ruined the vibe. Will try to use the groundsheet from another tent instead of buying a full fitted hexagonal one and then cutting a hole in it for a stove, etc.I now have a new hobby. To find nice little places to be, where I can set up a hidden little world amongst the overgrown thickets and bramble patches. I enjoy being alone in those places in the dark, it was a peaceful solace feeling that I need more of. In those green islands of nature between the fields I can live quite free, unbothered, with everything I need. And to carry it all on your back, under your own strength, what a great feeling.
>>2848992>North African clubs you in the head while you sleep
>>2848995They don't dare go into the trees, it would be the opposite of anything they would think to do. And if they did, they would be there with me haha. You don't fear random black guys while camping do you?
>>2848387>he has no snow in novemberit must suck to be a mountainlet>>2848984fall in the valleys, winter in the mountainsfeels good man

Bumping for the first day of meteorological winter. How many meteorological winter outings do you have under your belts, anons, and how many are you planning to do this winter?
I'm going on wednesday for an easy one. It's time to test my new winter bag and get some stove time in. I am actually just going to hop over a fence from public land into a place with 3-4 small woodlands. Only a 20 minute walk from the local town and through a few winter fields, but I should have all the isolation I need. It's unlikely I'll encounter anyone there, especially in the night, so I am looking forward. Might even go into town for a few drinks if I can find a very private spot though getting a woman back there is unlikely. Hey babe that I just met, want to come sit in my tent in the middle of winter? I'll be nice! Heheh, but you never know.

I'm thinking about doing a local trail (the last 1000ft or so are well snowed in at this point) I regularly do as a day hike, but as an overnight. There's some cool hikes in the vicinity I could do morning of day 2 too. But I've never been snow camping and I have one of those non-free standing tents. I hear they can work ok though. Do I need to do anything special beyond packing warmer clothes and a warmer sleeping bag? My quilt is 20 degrees but it might dip a little below that, will wearing my belay parka be enough to make the difference? Or is it smarter to use it as a blanket? (Yes, I am scared of a little cold)
>>2852266Long, warm underwear is usually the best for sleeping in quilts/sleeping bags.And you'll need a decent air mattress. Nothing's worse than having to sleep on a cold ground.
>>2848380I live in Florida, so winter is my favorite time of year to camp.
>>2852247Spoken like someone that has no money.
>>2848380there is no point in responding to any of your threads because you view anyone that even disagrees with you slightly as seethe.
>>2852320based and reverse-season pilled
>>2848380About to go in a couple weeks. Just gotta buy some food and grab some firewood -so the forest kikes dont rape me for burning forest wood. Got a hot tent and lived camping in it last winter.
>>2848380I'm scared of fucking up and not getting my camp set up, or missing something important, with the daylight vanishing.I have to learn solo camping during summer first.
>>2853910It's easy my man. Go out there and do it. Somewhere where you still see some city lights or whatever, so you can always walk, should aomething happen.But honestly: You can't fuck it up.I thought like that and read advice like that before going /out the first time but eventually came to realize I can either be stuck at home improving. y setup or trying to remember processes and knots or just go out there and wing it.Whole week, never stopped more than an hour before nightfall, usually after dark. Sometimes woke up to realise I set up not as I intended. Yet I always had comfortable sleep. Just take a flashlight with you.
>>2853910Go car camping first.
>>2853920Fuck outta here with that shit.
>>2853964based retard
>>2853920>Car 'camping'very american
>>2853974See>>2853988I'm not a homeless American, living the "van-life" (homelessness).
>>2848380I've been meaning to since it's been a few years and I just bought a new 0F sleeping bag. How do you cope with boredom, especially since the darkness sets in so soon, and being scared of the dark?>don't drink
>>2848380>be bong>dartmoor? exmoor?>what's the point?
It's been raining for 2 weeks straight here.Yesterday with the heavy cloud and fog was the darkest day I can ever remember. Even at high noon it looked like almost nught
>>2854036I'm rather about (you) being able to span a mental bridge between motoring and camping.I mean semantically it's not wrong, if you stay in a camp are camping, regardless of how you got there.But it just wont cure the gay.
>>2848831What tent is this?>>2848856this has to be shit though right? looks like a cheap pop up tent, not suited for 4 seasons.
