Sleeping Pads for Winter Camping? (I double up two summer ones)
Big Agnes Q-Core SL Sleeping Pad (inflatable) amzn.to/2npM30d I used it on the ground at -25F by itself. …not a great idea. I had a pretty cold butt, but I lived 🙂
Therm-A-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad (foam) amzn.to/2GtSGqL I’ll be stacking this with the Q-Core on my upcoming New Hampshire winter trip.
How to get started with your first overnight backpacking / camping trip.
“Mickey Mouse Boots” – military surplus boots for extreme cold weather and snow.
Bushcraft is cool, but like many niche hobbies, it can cultivate some arrogant attitudes. Emphasis on some, but it’s out there. And no, I'm not even necessarily talking about Joshua's comment. His was relatively mild but a good segue for discussion.
Fires starting / campfires on camping trips.
Survival skills (great to have) vs just having fun in the woods (great to have as well).
Winter sled camping is a ton of fun.
