Cold weather camping.

I knew I'd arrived when there were highway signs reminding people that throwing piss bombs is illegal, and also that somebody has to clean it up.

To me, the trick to master for winter camping comes from one of my favorite movies, Jeremiah Johnson. Build a good fire then spread coals under your bedding. Getting the right amount, priceless.
Grew up in Glens Falls. When I was in the scouts, good old Troop 4, we would winter camp at Salmon Pond. This was a hunting camp deep in the woods. Barracks style bunkroom that was #@$%& cold. Since we never settled down and went to sleep, we would ALL have to go on trail busting hikes without any lights or snow shoes in the middle of the night to burn off that excess energy. This happened every time. I miss that!

I did cold weather "camping" in Finnish military.
In snow and stupid temperatures.

Done with that shit.

When it was too cold, we just burned a large shed, worked really good for several hours...

I love camping and hiking in cold weather. To those with dogs, be very careful, their paws can be damaged from long exposure to single digit temps. One of my crew loves to act silly and play in snow, I have to cut it short in extreme temps

Need to train them to wear those dog booties.

It's 0 here. One of my rescues loves cold & snow, but this weather is too much for more than a few (10-20) minutes.

Understood.  I have to do the morning farm chores and it has been in the low 20s here in the mornings.  Any exposed skin is in pain within 10 minutes.

People acclimatize to extreme cold. My hands won't feel anywhere near as cold as yours at those temperatures. I will wear light gloves, a down vest, and a toque but wouldn't need a jacket if I were only out for an hour or so. On the other hand, you'd chuckle at what I'd call way too hot.

We camped at Mt Fuji in the winter and did cross country skiing when I was in the Marines.
