>>950825Alright /out/, I will be doing my first winter overnighter in a few weeks, and I'm staying solo in a shelter like pic related.
I will be able to scout and construct the campsite duing the course of a few days if need be, since I will stay within a few kms from the cabin. The outside temperature in the area is around -10 degrees C, so it should be optimal for constructing such a shelter.
This is the precautions I will be taking, correct me if I have missed anything important.
>Dig high in the mound of snow so that emergency evacuation through the ceiling is possible>Mark the campspot with upright skiis >Do not cook in the shelter>Air vents and cold trench>Do not sleep in the clothes I hike in>Check the avalache risk in the areaAnything essential I've overlooked, or just some friendly advice for winter camping?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
