Winter Tents Versus Summer Tents – Debunking the Myths of Winter Camping
When one hears about winter camping, the activity is often attributed to images of tough, morbid scenarios: a suicidal recluse in a frost-molded landscape; a masochistic, distorted leisurely stroll in subzero woodlands; or a noble display of arctic pain in a ravaging blizzard tempest. Contrary to initial impressions however, using winter tents actually offers an experience more unique and relaxing than its summer counterpart. And with the right camping gears, equipment and preparation, it will not be difficult to have the best time of your life.
Camping in the winter is rather ideal. The bugs are frozen and dead. No ticks are there to eat you alive in your sleep. Even the mosquitoes are too busy shivering to death. And if you’re worried about the ants that might take your hotdogs away, they are already too preoccupied keeping themselves alive under all the earth and snow to even think about bugging you in your campfire grills.
The climate in the winter is also perfect for relaxation and cold and snow are far easier to deal with than heat and rain. Even if you camp in the nude, it will be not enough to keep the summer heat from making you toss and turn in unease all night. It will not take the sticky feeling away, either. In the winter however, you can easily dress for the occasion to ward off the chill and have a great time. A sudden downpour can also ruin your entire camp and can force you to pack up and leave if you are camping in the summer. If snowflakes are the only ones falling from the sky though, you can either savor the experience, or if you find that the weather is too capricious, you can just comfortably stay inside your winter tents as you would in your homes-no need to suddenly retreat back to the urban jungle.
The demands on your gears in camping in the winter season can be higher than normal, but in such a wintery undertaking, if you take your choice of equipments some good consideration, you will not have a difficult time to relax and enjoy in a cold and trying environment. From a selection of winter tents, it will be wise to choose one that is bigger than you would often have as you will need more room for your slightly bulkier equipments, and since you will be spending most of your time inside. Moreover, in addition to the typical things that you will need such as clothing, food, water, eating and cooking utensils, backpack stoves and fuel, you will also need a warm sleeping bag, wool socks, a winter cap, mittens with lightweight liner gloves, a pair of snowshoes and a headlamp. Apparently since it is winter camping, you will need things that will help you stay as warm and as comfortable as possible, and of course a light source to help you pass 14 hours of darkness.
Camping in the winter definitely offers an incomparable experience amidst a challenging and cold environment. It makes an ideal time to get you to truly unwind without having to worry about pesky insects that may ruin your retreat, or heat and rain that may take away the comfort of sleeping. With the right preparation and gears, winter camping will be an unforgettable experience that will make you want to return for a second one.
