Camping in cold weather is not for those who are frightened of the cold! It can also be challenging but with the proper sleeping gear and clothing, camping in cold weather can be an excitingat experience.

Packing the Correct Clothing

Clothing is most important when camping in cold weather - without the proper clothing the camping experience can be extremely poor or at worst life-threatening.

The most essential pieces of clothing to pack before going to your campground includes thermal long underwar, thermal or wool socks, ski jackets, heavy warm coats, insulated gloves, wool hats, thick turtleneck sweaters and sweat pants. Jeans are not suggested.

Layering your clothing is also a good idea when camping in cold weather, so an abundance of extra clothing should be brought with you, a good example might be long and short sleeved shirts, fleece jackets, long pants, wool scarves and extra socks. Clothing should not be skin tight when layering as loose fitting clothing can trap warm air and keep the body warmer.

Shoes and Boots

All shoes that are worn when camping should be insulated and waterproof and it is an excellent idea to avoid wearing tennis shoes or trainers because they will not provide much protection from the outdoor conditions.

Hiking boots, or rubber boots worn over shoes are a useful option. Trousers should always be tucked inside the boots and for additional protection duct tape can be taped around the trousers and the top of boots to keep out the cold and snow.

Type of Tent and Bedding to Use

The best type of tent to use at campsites in the winter is one that is designed for all weather conditions and that can be used in any seasons. The tent should be waterproof. The inside of the tent should be kept dry and with warmers.

When camping in cold weather your bedding is equally important. If you are sleeping on the ground there should be at least two layers between the sleeping bag and the ground or an insulated padding should be used underneath the sleeping bag. To provide extra warmth the sleeping bag should be fleeced-lined and a wool blanket can be used inside the sleeping bag.

It is also important to keep the head warm when camping in the cold, so it;s recommended that a hat should be worn while sleeping. Also wool socks and thermal underwear should be worn when going to bed.

Camping at in cold weather is not for everyone but for individuals who are up to the challenge and who take the proper clothing and gear, camping in the cold can be an enjoyable experience.

from David the Dogman

The ten worst excuses not to spay or neuter a pet are:

1. Just one litter and then we’ll have Fluffy spayed.
   
   (Studies show that virtually the entire pet overpopulation stems from the “just one litter mentality.)
   
   

2. My dog doesn’t run loose, so he doesn’t need to be fixed.
   
   (Murphy’s Law says otherwise.)
   
   

3. We always find homes for the kittens.
   
   (And that means that an equal number of kittens at the pound will be killed.)
   
   

4. I want the children to witness the miracle of birth.
   
   (Rent a video.)
   
   

5. My dog is so cute and unique, there should be more of her.
   
   (The shelters and pounds are full of cute and unique dogs, most with only a few days to live.)
   
   

6. It’s not natural.
   
   (There hasn’t been anything “natural” about dogs since we began to develop breeds thousands of years ago.)
   
   

7. I just couldn’t look my dog in the eye if I had him castrated.
   
   (Watch it, you’re anthropomorphiizing.)
   
   

8. A female dog or cat should have at least one litter for health reasons.
   
   (Medically, factually and ethicaly indefensible.)
   
   

9. Neutering my dog will make him fat and lazy.
   
   (Too much food and not enough exercise make a dog fat and lazy.)
   
   

10. Fixing my pet will change its personality.
    
    (The main influences on an animal’s personality are the kindness and care with which it is raised.)
    

Commitment, Firmness, but kindness.
