Cold-Weather Camping Is Worth It! Ahh, cold-weather camping. There’s so much to like about it. It’s a peaceful experience: no-one is crowded on parks and trails, having the first option of campsites anywhere you go and enjoying hot, fresh coffee as you watch the morning fog disappear right in front of your tent. But there’s one thing that’s not great about camping in cold weather: being cold. This can make your stay uncomfortable and cause a decrease in enjoyment. If you’re too cold to rest for an entire night, you’ll likely be too tired to hike for miles the next day. This list offers a few ways to stay warm while camping in cold temperatures.

We’re sure it’s not logical — why would you want to sleep in a tent with what is basically holes? We must get into the science behind. Condensation is caused due to the heat of your body as well as the coldness of the air outside. If there aren’t vents inside your tent, these little drops will flow down the sides of your tent. They will end in soaking into whatever’s on the ground, including the sleeping bag. It’s not as bad as getting cold, but it is more uncomfortable to wake up in the rain. There’s no research required for this: the ground is cold, don’t rest on it. Adding an inflatable mattress pad to your camping gear serves two purposes: it eliminates the contact between your body and the cold ground beneath the tent and provides a warm layer of air underneath your body. Sleeping pads are measured in «r-value;» the higher the r value, the better the pad, and the more suitable it will be for cold-weather camping. Modern sleeping pads pack tightly into their own stuff sacks so even backcountry campers will be able to carry them easily. Beginning a fire can be a slow process, and you want yours to be firing when the sun sets so it’s roaring before you get cold. Fire starters should be easy to use and waterproof. In winter, any wood or kindling you find is likely to be damp due to snow or rain or even from dew from cold weather Therefore, you’ll need to bring a firestarter with an extended burn time as damp wood isn’t able to ignite quickly.

This includes utensils, fuel containers, water bottles, and more. UCO offers a wonderful butane torch with duct tape you can make use of. You’ll be able to utilize your hands with more efficiency as well as duct tape is a great option. There’s nothing better than a comfortable fleece shirt and a favorite tee. In cold weather camping, the aim is to conserve body heat. And for this, cotton is not a good choice. Cotton is water-absorbing. This means that cotton absorbs moisture as soon when you sweat or transpire as you rest. We all know that wet clothes make more cold than wet clothes. Also, whatever you sleep in should be tight fitting. This allows moisture to be taken up through the fabric, instead of sitting on your skin. Pick fabrics made to draw moisture away from your skin and facilitate transpiration, which generally means synthetic (i.e made by humans) fabrics. Even though organic fabrics share similar properties as synthetics, Merino wool is more expensive than synthetics. Camping pajamas consist of the base layer that is utilized for skiing.

The tall brush and bushes can block the wind, creating a more relaxing place to rest or light a fire. The sun can influence the mood so make sure you know where the light is when you arrive at the campsite. Choose a spot where the sun rises shining as soon as is possible and if you can. The period before sunrise is the coldest time of the night. By putting your tent in an area that receives the morning sun and the morning sun, you can cut down on that period of freezing cold. It doesn’t need to be covered in order to keep you warm. You must ensure all the things you don’t want in a convenient place before you head to go to bed at night.
