Why haven't you gone winter camping yet this season /out/?
What, are you scared of a little cold?

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?

I 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.

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)

I live in Florida, so winter is my favorite time of year to camp.

I'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.

I'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?

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

Sitting around in the dark is boring. 0-degree or lower bags are expensive and take up too much closet space for what little use they'd get.
If you fuck up 3-season camping, you have a bad weekend. If you fuck up winter camping, you die.
Ever wake up drenched in sweat because you wore too many layers to bed? That shit will kill you in the winter.

It is the best. No bugs, life threatening insects with diseases.
And prestine beauty of the snowy winter. But you need very expensive gear to fight off the cold. But it is the best.

Can someone help me gear plan for an upcoming trip? Going camping for the first time in a while. Hiking for a few hours to a lean-to, spending a night or two then heading back. The only gear I have is a klymit sleeping pad (1.3R). I'm trying to do this on a budget and wondering what else to get under $250. I think I can borrow a bag, and won't need my own cooking gear.I'm thinking a nemo foam pad and one of those military sleeping systems (bivy+2 bags you can layer). Heavy as hell but together that's only $200. Legit or dumb?

Last time I went winter camping it got down to 10-20 f. I had a sleeping bag directly on the snow since I’m kind of retarded and it was much warmer and snow free at the base of the mountains (vermont). Still had a blast but I wasn’t prepared and could barely sleepIs a single foam roll under the sleeping bag enough to stay warm or do you guys also lay down pine branches et cetera?
