>>1328324Don’t have any pictures because I don’t take my phone or camera on /out/ings(seems less authentic in my opinion), but I usually camp for 5-8 days in upstate Vermont a few times each year during January and February. Only bring a few things, notably 1-2 tarps, parachord, my knife(fallkniven f1 because it’s god-tier at winter survival), folding saw, a lighter, a pot, a bottle, a wool blanket, snow shoes, and some wire. Can get very cold, which is probably the number one problem I have to deal with while out there, especially if it’s in the open and there’s wind. Usually just solve that by digging into the snow until I have a hole that I can lay down in and be covered from the wind, then get some pine/fur/spruce branches and create an angled cover/roof over it and cover the roof with tarp then snow on top of the tarp. Then I can make a fire somewhere close by for warmth and to melt snow for water/cook my food(usually rabbit or squirrel). So long as you keep your jacket and pants on and they’re warm, insulating, and don’t get wet from lying in the snow, you’re usually fine. Overall the big secret is to keep things dry and to use the snow as a means of insulation to keep yourself warm and unexposed. Also the snow shoes are a protip, if you don’t own any you can get some green springy branches off of a pine tree and make some.
