I love tenting out in the cool weather. Honestly, the colder the better until snow sticks. I could camp every single night of every single October and still love it. No fancy gear, just wool socks and a hooded sweatshirt in the sleeping bag. Stars, boiled cowboy coffee, cigars by the fire, reading by headlamp, rekindling a fire to warm up before fishing. Yeah!

You guys really need to give winter camping a try. No mosquitos, no need for a cooler and no crowds. Get the right gear for it and you'll wonder why you haven't been doing this before.

There is a reason the crowds are down. Count me among the warm comfortable folks sitting around the fireplace at home smile

I can't wait for my camping trip near the BWCA next week. I will be putting the gear together today and checking inventory. Using a Buddy heater, if neccessary, in the tent for about 15 minutes before retiring take thes chill off and again for about 15 minutes after waking up in the morning. I'd like to see some low 30's temps at night and a sunny warm up in the morning for the grouse.

I don't see why you would need a heater. Some folks do use them but to me, it's just too heavy to drag along on my camping trips. That's where the good sleeping bag and bivy sack come in. Most people who ice fish or work outside in the winter already have decent clothing. Another thing to keep you more comfortable is up your intake of high fat foods and make sure you stay hydrated.

Never had a problem with it. It fits fairly snug over my sleeping bag. I'll have to check out what brand and what material it is. I got it from my dad when he got out of mountain climbing. He used some pretty good gear but most of it's somewhat dated.
