Any winter campers?

@andyhas a nice one, I generally will rely on a tarp or snow shelter if there is enough snow but as I get older I am looking to get a hexmid with stove jack.

I camp on the ice overnight for fishing in my popup. Does that count?

Maybe? I've done the same, but it's not really what I'm looking for.

Hot Tent Camping Comparison 2023: Wood Stove Jack Shelter Guide

Camping tents with wood stoves inside for outdoor sleeping. A stove jack is sewn into the tent, which makes it possible to put a wood stove inside. This makes it so that you can burn wood as a heat source, to cook food or even dry clothing.

I've heard good things about those. The Hercules looks nice because it's free-standing. I've also been looking at walled tents because they provide more usable space in case I want to spend the weekend with the kids or set it up on the lake for a few days. I'm going to poke around on Faceplant and see if I can find a winter camping group in NH to steal some knowledge.

a wall tent is ideal for multiple people but I generally go it alone. keep this thread updated.

We build quinzees all the time. Well, when we get snow.

Still around. Living my life, raising my family, fighting with the school board and selectmen.

What sort of winter camping? Just outside when it's freezing/cold out? Or on the side of a hill in the whites with wind/snow/etc while hiking?

ah ok. If you were looking for a hiking winter tent I probably could ask a guy.

A few friends and I do a winter off road trip in Maine every November. Been doing it for about seven years now. We’ve had all kinds of weather between freezing rain and a few feet of snow.

The wife and I also used to camp for Christmas, but she hates the cold and even with a heater she put her foot down and said
no more after a couple night at 7*.

We use a Mr Buddy heater, and it works real well. Just keep a CO detector in the tent and you’re good.

We’ve also figured out that the green one pound cans suck. We use a adapter/extension hose to a 5lb tank and have no issues with flow of propane. On the one pound cans they tend to freeze up.

If you look in the camping pics thread, there a few pics of my Al season wall tent that we use.

I’m good at single digits with a -F real feel. But no hot tents. Never.
