snow encampment

[Termite]

well a few weeks ago, some friends of mine and i decided to celebrate our thanks giving in the forest. what an awesome time! we had a few inches of snow on the ground when we got there, but then in came a storm! it was 6 deg, and 30-40 mph constant wind. we figure it dropped the temps down to about -15, to -20 with wind chill. all in all we still had a great time! it seems i fared the cold the best in the group. personally i just think im stubborn.

me, shawnee mike and joe, drinking hot pie and waiting for my famous camp chili

and of course my dog misha!

this was earlier in the day, getting our fire established and getting snow melting for our water supply

our corner in the rocks that we picked to sleep in

Looks like fun. If not a bit cold.

 Try it at 40 below before adding in the windchill. Now that can be a might chilly. Speaking of which, from what I have heard about your camp chile-- how did the snow stay on the ground? -- Its been reported that it will incinerate EVERYTHING within a 200 yard radius.

   If'n I was 20+ yrs younger that looks like great fun.  Alas the old bones dey chills real deep, real fast anymore and if'n I was to even attempt to sleep on the ground, Lordy be you'd have to harness up that Siberian and haul me down the mt.  Thanks for sharing the pics  Hey de Red Badger - he gots one of them little brown jugs, too!
