  • I went snow camping for the first time! I've camped in the winter before, but I've never done a proper snow camping trip - until now! In this video, I packed up all my winter gear and took my dog on a snow camping adventure.

    Winter camping is the best! No bugs, no bears and very little people. Just hung out in my hammock at -13F. It was great. Good video and a lot of fun to watch. Take care, Al

    You should demonstrate how to stake down a tent on snow in the wind properly. Normal tent pegs are useless in the snow. The quickest way is to start with a couple of trekking poles (or skis and ski poles) and then add some deadmen (deadpeople??) as needed.

    • @TheMadSpencerAlexander
      @TheMadSpencerAlexander 3 роки тому +3

      Couldn’t agree more. Stake the tent down properly and use all the guy lines!! Pure Lazy. Doesn’t secure tent yet wastes time making snowmen??? Also agree that the dumping the tent out of the bag on the snow during a windy day would be fail.

    Miranda! We just finished our BSA Scout Klondike yesterday. First time in four years that I've done it where there was a foot of snow on the ground. It was crazy fun but a new experience for our Scouts to manage.
    This winter I had encouraged my Scouts to practice in their backyards before hitting the event because they can make adjustments easier at home. It's empathetic watching you struggle but I hope you can revisit this cold-weather experience and stress to campers to shake down at home before hitting the snow fields.
    Keep the great videos coming, it's VERY IMPORTANT (for my female BSA Scouts) to see females enjoying our natural world and taking on new challenges!

    honestly backpacking or camping in winter is a progression that test your dedication. You have to buy so many layers and things to be warm. Fun none the less but definitely it takes a lot of dedication to jump into it!

    • @electrontube

      I started my kids with car camping in the snow. they felt like they had an anchor point, like we could bail if they weren't feeling it.
      they took to it like fish in water. it's just camping, but soggy and cold.
      the younger they are, the more changes of clothes they'll want/need.

    Pro-tip: place your fuel canister in a small cup of liquid water (doesn't even have to be hot) while cooking. It'll keep the can above freezing, increase the vapor pressure, and make it burn much better.

  • @JonOfNoTrades
    @JonOfNoTrades 3 роки тому +36

    I don't know about feces, but your body does have to keep urine above a certain temperature (between 90-100 F). So it's definitely a good idea to pee right before bed. I usually pee 1/2 an hour before bed and then try to pee again right before I go to bed

    • @brendanprice3432
      @brendanprice3432 3 роки тому +3

      Feces definitely isn’t sterile and the temperature our body keeps our urine is almost perfect for most bacteria. Urine would need to be boiling hot for that to be true. You are much more likely to be cold from getting up in the night to pee if you don’t go just before bed though.

    • @cannibalmanimal2336
      @cannibalmanimal2336 3 роки тому +5

      The bladder has its own bacterial flora, 30+ strains at minimum. Like everything else that comes out of us better stuff going in means better stuff coming out

    • @themeatpopsicle
      @themeatpopsicle 2 роки тому +1

      it doesn't have to keep it warm as much as poop and pee are mass which will reach thermal equilibrium with the rest of the body when inside. Eliminating that extra mass will leave less overall mass that your body will need to heat to maintain normal body temps.

      And moisture. Valves freeze in those sleeping pads in winter if you breathe into them. Using a bag assist is a great idea.

    • @neolexiousneolexian6079
      @neolexiousneolexian6079 3 роки тому +8

      Nah. Bernoulli forces and stuff mean that most of the air that reaches the bag when you blow at it from a distance actually comes from the surrounding air. That also lets you effectively get more air per breath.

    A smaller tent or more people helps. For one person and a dog/kiddo in winter, a 2 person 4 season tent can maintain 10+F warmer than the outside ambient air temperature. My six year old son and I went on his first winter camp out, no snow unfortunately which that looked fun. But, 26F outside and 37 inside, he had my wife's zero degree bag, and slept like a rock. I had the Nalgene trick up my sleeve in case he got cold. But, my old Sierra Designs Omega 2 can zip up all mesh which that and rainfly trap a fair amount of body heat inside. REI, she's a real treasure, keep paying for her backpacking adventures!! These are fun and hilarious!!
