Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, November 2, 2022 11:00 AM You might be wondering why any sane person would want to try winter camping. The apparent negatives are myriad: It's cold, wet, snowy, windy, and miserable. Why would you want to experience that? Well, the positives are also that it's cold, wet, snowy, windy, and miserable. The positives are the negatives. Everyone's been on a vacation that was "ruined" by bad weather or crazy bad luck befalling them, only to have it become one of the most vivid, best memories of their lives because it was so intense, difficult, and out of the ordinary. It becomes a story you can tell for years after. Even though it's "bad" in the moment, it's a source of joy for the rest of your life. There are more reasons to winter camp, of course: To harden yourself. Rather than wait for them to happen, we should prepare for difficult situations before they're thrust upon you. Consensual hardship, like camping in the winter, prepares you for the unforeseen. To improve your metabolic health. Cold weather exposure is beneficial in its own right, increasing metabolically-active brown fat deposits, improving your cold tolerance, and boosting mitochondrial function. To learn how to enjoy all seasons. It's not as easy as warm weather camping, but winter camping is a way to appreciate and treasure three months of the year that most people write off. If you can appreciate winter camping, that's extra time you get to spend out in nature. That's three more months of living. Winter camping is not the same as winter backpacking.

What to Remember When Winter Camping Accept that you will be cold and uncomfortable To begin with, the most important part of winter camping is to prepare yourself for the physical reality of being outside in the cold. It's going to be cold and possibly wet, but you are prepared for it. You can handle it. It will not break you. You have to know what you're signing up for. Accept the climactic realities, and you'll be able to focus on transcending them and having fun. Stay active You can't just sit around in the cold and hope to have a nice time. You must be active. You have to be hiking, snow-shoeing, cross country skiing, skiing or snowboarding or sledding. You should be having snowball fights and building snow forts. Staying active keeps your body temperature up and makes meals all that much more satisfying. Keep calorie intake up If you stay active like you should, this will take care of itself, but maintaining a higher calorie intake will help you maintain body temperature and cold tolerance. Know how to build a fire in the snow With a large enough fire you can handle any amount of cold weather. If you're lucky, your campsite will come with a fire … Continue reading "Winter Camping 101" The post Winter Camping 101 appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
