Winter camping series- week 1 - 5 rules that will keep you warm while winter camping

Winter camping isn’t about being tough , t’s about having a system that keeps you warm, safe, and actually enjoying the adventure. If you’ve been scared to try it, I get it. I used to think winter camping meant losing circulation in my toes and sleeping in misery too 😂But once I learned the basics of heat management + moisture control, everything changed. Here’s the truth nobody tells you: 🔥 You don’t need a -30°C sleeping bag❄️ You don’t need to suffer to have fun💨 Wind protection matters more than you think❄️ Cold doesn’t kill trips, moisture does If you follow these 5 rules from my reel: 1. Prioritize R-value over sleeping bag rating 2. Stay dry (moisture = cold) 3. Fuel your body to stay warm 4. Use a hot water bottle heat boost 5. Shelter smart and block wind …winter camping becomes cozy, rewarding, and honestly? More peaceful than summer camping. No crowds. No bugs. Just quiet mountains and a crackling stove under the stars. ✨ If you want to try winter camping but don’t know where to start, I made something for you 👇I put together my Lightweight Winter Camping Checklist with everything I pack for cold-weather backpacking, gear, clothing, sleep system, etc. Want it?⬇️Comment WINTER and I’ll send it to you.
