Late fall winter and early spring is the only time I ever see rangers because it’s trout stocking season. Rangers stick the trails and other normie spots during the warm weather months, not the outdoors and fishing areas.

Maybe winter is nice for those of you who just like to sit at camp and relax, but winter is hiker's hell

Clearly you're not going cold enough. when it never goes above 0C/32F then everything stays nice and dry

This is close second, except I gotta pack more shit to not freeze. A nice meal of meat and fat by a campfire around twilight is freaking nice as hell though.

Winter hiking is great
Maybe not mountaineering, but it's maximum comfy strapping on a pair of good snowshoes and dragging a sled with all your shit on it plus a bunch of extra comforts through the woods, because the sled makes it easy to just throw on that wood stove and heavy canvas tent, as long as you aren't doing long uphills.
That sweet spot where the air isn't cold enough to hurt your lungs but just taking off your coat makes it impossible to overheat no matter how hard you're trudging is peak hiking.

mid to late fall, winter, and early spring are the only times I go camping. late spring and summer the camp grounds near my house are filled with loud rednecks and redneck college students. They're annoying as fuck plus they leave a huge mess behind. Fuckem

I've loved mountaineering all my life and honestly heavy snow, using ski snd needing avalanche training all seem like positives to me! those are always the kind of objectives I end up enjoying the most

Yea? Cause I thought the last two times I went /out/ here in South Florida fucking sucked.
Camping in or near the Everglades right when summer starts is like watching the Cambrian Explosion in bug form.
These mosquitoes don't even care about the repellent.

Sucks to be you. Winter camping in Australia is where it's at. Day time is still 25-30 degrees for swimming or whatever, then bought gets cold so you rug up by the fire and get comfy

Yeah, it hadn't gone below -10C here between 2012 and 2018 (-10.2 in the latter case), took a trip into some frozen over nearby swampland for the first time earlier this year, and still managed to break in... walking back the 5km to my car with iced pants was "fun"

Normies love summer for reasons I can't explain.
>>1352264
Still better than summer when it rains as the sun shines brightly on your back through the muggy haze of humid air.
Also the ticks.
And the fleas.
Final point, foggy grey/brown with cold air is better than a wall of green with bugs, humidity, and mud. Summer is no more dynamic than winter, but it lacks all the aesthetics and intimacy of its colder counterpart.
IMO of course.

Meh, I'm living a bit on a hill with the next small stream 120m in altitude below me, so nasty bugs aren't a problem here, just a couple moths and wasps here and there. Also the hillside makes for some good drainage, so the clay is dry most of the time in summer, but constantly wet/muddy between November and March
