Fire Prep - Swamp Rat Rodent 9

[hurley842002]

Winter backpacking is just like anything else, if you have the right equipment life is easy. I actually prefer it. There is a different kind of quiet back there in the winter, gives me that extra peace to recharge the batteries, and there are normally no other people. I've heard you also receive double punches on the man card. Haha!

I've always wanted to winter camp, unfortunately I didn't get around to it before the kids came along, now I need to wait until they get a bit older.

Lurking the thread.

We used to take the kids up to Kenosha pass every year, hike in and build Quinzies and prep, then go sledding during the afternoon and spend the night.

Always told them to stomp down their quinzee area first before piling up snow. Sure enough, they didn't one time and had to sleep 5 of them in a little quinzee built around a stump they found after they dug it out.

That's not a good excuse Hurley.!

These trips are for the adult dads to get out and do man shit. Haha.

I'll probably give my boy a shot at the snow this spring, late April/May when the temperatures are a warmer. He'll be 6 by then.

Lol! They are 2.5 and 1, I think I push the limits taking them out for day trips as it is lol.

I always wanted to try building an igloo out in Pawnee, but I don't know if it snows enough.

Like this, but with way cooler music.
