- You’ve learned how to find good firewood in challenging conditions and then use it to reliably get a fire going no matter what. You’ve learned how to layer for the outdoors. You’ve learned how to read a map. What’s the logical conclusion of learning all this and the other skills we’ve covered in this video series? The ability to experience new, riskier environments with confidence and comfort. With the right approach and gear, winter camping can be just as comfortable as camping any other time of year. Here’s how.

Best thing I learned from Boy Scouts about winter camping is that with sleeping bags (especially American ones) the temperture rating isn't meant that it'll keep you nice and warm at that temp, but it'll keep you alive at that temp.
ok boy scout

@Jake LaGotta I highly recommend buying a Nalgene bottle and then boiling water before bed to put in it. Fill it up, twist it tight. Put it in a sock and then put it in a gallon Ziploc bag for good measure, just in case it leaks for some reason. Stick it in your sleeping bag and sleep with it all night. It is one of the best, and cost effective options out there to stay warm at low temps. I just did this for three nights over this last weekend and the temps got down to the low 20s. Worked like a charm and everybody else I had do this also thanked me for it in the morning. The bottle will stay hot all night long.
@@gumbyspook what kind of Nalgene? The thermos of regular plastic?
@@n3rdworldproblemz877 just the regular plastic wide mouth ones that are like $10.
I love the title “Without Dying”
I agree. I may have to use that for one of my videos.
He cud get an aneurysm or heart attack - who knows? Kind of "campy" title?
It ain't much but it's honest words😅
I am an avid winter camper, and instruct lots of Boy Scouts on Winter Camping. This is a good video for that (well, I had to cut the coctails part). But, I definitely emphasize the mesh tent with to-the-ground fly, sleeping pad, ground cover, clothing changes, good layering, keep breathing outside the bag, etc. The one major addition I teach is to have a packable/synthetic blanket that can be wrapped around entire system. We call it a "Scout Burrito"....it works well.
I've been winter camping for many years now and after trying 3 seasons tent and a 4 seasons , I prefer the second one . Less wind go throught and you still can manage the ventilation. As for the sleeping system , I prefer the close cells mat over the air mat as its reflects more heat.
Thanks for the video 👍
I don’t really know what you’re talking about but I’m gonna go for it😀👍
A little late to the party here but this is the most in detail video in my opinion on this subject. Giving us all the information and explaining it without saying you have to spend a ton of money and get “this exact product”
Good video but ya forgot a few things always pack down snow under tent ether with snow shoes or your boots it keeps it from turning to a pond . Also use a footprint ground cloth ether nylon or other materials tyvex used on home building works great and is lightweight. In your sleeping bag keep your clothes for morning at foot of bag to keep feet warm and clothing also it takes up excessive space in bag leaving just a small air space around your body to warm . I also keep old Gatorade bottle big too in bag to void in as opening bag to go out to pee looses too much Body and bag heat bonus warn pee keeps bag inside warm just don’t miss and cap tight. Also a silk liner for your bag keeps you 10degs warmer bag cleaner just a few tips from my many years in military and mountain backcountry hunts
SheerWill Survival Solid advice! Did some of this while out at Pelham Range for an FTX where it was in low 30’s with that damn S.E. moisture.
Truth right here
Add to that, a hand pump for the air mattress is also preferable since the moisture in your breath will make the air inside colder.
Is the pee thing really necessary though? Im guessing this is sub zero weather shit where ur peepee will freeze by the time it comes out?
@@CriticalRoleHighlights And I'm guessing (from experience) that moister in the mattress will condense out which decreases the gas and deflates the mattress. I notice my mattress seems to lose air on freezing cold nights and not as cold as this video is talking about.
Need a closed foam pad for the dog too.. I go camping with my boxer & he uses my old one, cut in half it doubles as my kneeling/sitting pad. He goes right to it and sleeps on it all night. He’s no dummy.
thats a good idea i used to use a wool blanket for my dog but closed cell will be alot lighter.
Do you have the "with dying" version? asking for a friend.
Are they really your friend then?
you are so funny haha
Dude I phuckkng told you not to really ask i was joking 🙃 💀
Yes please
Crystal clear language, tons of useful information...delivered without typical YT silliness. And the "without dying" tagline was a droll touch. Well done!
I have a Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 with footprint and I place a custom cut thin reflective foil thermal foam barrier between the two and it negates the need for a heavy R value pad and covers the entire floor area of the tent so I have plenty of room to move around comfortably. It’s light too!
Ok so this is what I need because I dont want to die. Im going on my first solo backpacking this weekend on the AT. GA section.
Good luck to you!!
The portal is my favorite winter tent if I’m not hammock camping. It’s a rockstar light tent, happy to see it in a video!
Very smart about the mesh inner layer. I recall this benefit from an old Eureka Spitfire design. No condensation with 2 people in 12 degrees F.
What kind of sleeping Pad did the pirate want?
One with a high ARRRRR value!
A pirate’s favorite letter?
Nope, not the ARRRRR.
Any shipmate can tell ya, it’s the Cccccc, that really matters! 😂
No
For a second there i thought the dog was doing the filming🤣
Wait he wasnt?
Interesting point about the tent choice. I typically use my mountaineering tent, but I would be interested to see if lots of ventilation works better in a cold weather situation.
It does for me, especially where there is a lot of moisture, like the Northeast...in the Mountains out West, not so much.
I honestly think people get too fixated on temperature and not enough on moisture during winter. I would rather have a well ventilated tent at the expense of temperature over a slightly warmer but damper one.
Love the words"without dying"! It looks still very cold in the tents
Laphroaig whisky!! Also my go to choice when camping. I live in Scotland and actually camp in Islay near where they make it! The best whisky in the world!
nice dude!
Drambroue
Loved how this explained everything thoroughly and simply. Thanks.
Great summation!! Especially the mesh tent!! No moisture in the AM.. VERR NIICE!!!
Most important tip of all in below 0° C temperatures, avoid alcohol consumption or reduce it to a strict minimum. Can easily lead to hypothermia if overly consumed, especially right before going to bed. Thins the blood and effects body temperature and sensation of cold. Please correct me if I'm wrong or provide a better explanation. Thanks
Probably correct, however I feel if i have a good glug of whisky it makes me feel warmer and I get a better sleep. Also makes camping more fun. Just couple it with some hot beverages and you'll be good!
Good information bro, a lot of people either forget to mention, or don’t know the information you’ve presented.
Great vid. This guy really knows his sh**. Have watched so many winter camp vids, where even as a rookie winter wildcamper, I can see several fundamental errors. Learned so much from this, that I previously had back to front. Thanks. Very helpful and you gotta new sub👍
I use small lite blanket or a large towel to put over my head. Works great for confort.
The cocktail part sold me.
Looks like a warm spring day to me!
THAT is why I always failed! I kept missing the last part.
cocking tails? yeah, gotta love that!
I don't recommend drinking alcohol when outside in the cold.
Nice! Looks like California or Colorado, or somewhere else down south. Fun!
Up here, 49th parallel, mid-continent, you have to be s little more serious. But this is good for a suburban backyard.
Having fun is the main thing!
If it's mere survival, stay in mom's basement, lurch to the microwave, keep playing the video game. Not so deadly.
He's in Montana!
You have got a great speaking voice. You do well as a teacher. Great video, first time here and I subscribed. Thank you
Don't eat yellow snow!
Dude my dad wouldn't lie to me about eating yellow snow phuck cough.
Step 1; make a Swedish/Finnish/Just Call It Nordic “Fire Torch” using non-galvanized, non-anodized Iron or Steel piping. Burning galvanized pipe releases noxious compounds that cause thrashing headaches, lung damage and nausea. The last thing you want in the winter forest is to vomit perfectly good food and drinks.
Step 2; do not drink your water cold, and do not eat snow straight. The body uses extra energy to warm up cold ingested water that, if drunken warm, goes into helping your body disperse heat instead of getting that cold water warm enough to sustain. It’s surprising how many calories are used by an average body to warm up freezing stream or frozen snow water.
Step 3; whatever wood you can use for a fire (ahem, fallen. You don’t have time to dry it.), shave the inner areas which will be driest into strips, and shave the outer edges which’ll be wettest into a closest-to-powder consistency you can get. It will ignite quickly, burn quickly, but with sufficient amount of fuel will burn hot enough to get the wet strips dry enough to ignite - which you then grow from. And remember, aged wood (long-fallen) is only dark on the surface, wet wood is dark everywhere. Look for aged wood.
Step 4; don’t eat or drink the yellow snow. Wildlife still gets up to piss every once in a while, there will be yellow snow somewhere..
Always eat yellow snow. It could be beer.
Critical Role Highlights Good point.
*Correction to all* - sniff the yellow snow before you eat it. It may be a good beer. 🍺
Specially the dude covering your 6! Can’t forget the tent heater
Poor dog. I always carried Big Buck a foam mat, then covered him with my down coat. He loved it !
Sleeping bag for doggie?
That is great info the earliest that I have camped in Ontario was the first week of April this year in the QEW ii wildlands and it was cold.
Well I was skiing today in -15C. I don''t wear any middle layer yet, just a cheap sports underwear and 25 years old Gore jacket is enough. Cotton anorak is good too but it is a bit less warm than Gore jacket, but of course much more breathable. But I do wear two socks in ski boots and a neck warmer and decent wool cap and leather mittens with thick wool mittens.
Trousers can have thin insulation layer and they should have high waist line with shoulder straps.
Never do serious winter ski tours with gloves.
In winter you must learn to know what is correct amount of clothing to you. Head, feet and hands are the most important. If it was colder than -20C I'd have a middle layer, even ordinary T-shirt helps.(But of course don't take cotton T-shirts to long trips because you can't dry them.)
If it is -25C you can have wool middle layer, if it is below -30C you can have a lot of clothing and it is not too much. It is huge difference from -15C to -30C. In -30C you can get in serious trouble fast if something goes wrong. For example if you freeze your hands you are possibly unable to pitch your tent or do simple tasks like closing zipper etc. At that stage you are in pain. If pain stops you are losing your fingers (and toes) and not far from death if you don't get help
Quick question. I’m planning on to camp in the snow this winter. Do dogs need booties to protect their paws from the snow?
Some useful advice but i personally wouldn't recommend a full mesh inner tent for winter. Also no mention of making a hot water bottle using a nalgene bottle etc ?
I don't really care about the mesh, but I am worried about what will happen to those tent poles if there is a heavy snow.
Yeah, I would be concerned about being covered in spindrift by morning without walls a little higher, but maybe his area doesn't have wind.
"Tent heater" classic. Going to take my "heaters" with next time.
This is a great informative video for winter camping, but wow! I thought my setup for winter camping was a little expensive at just over $700, including clothing.
That tent has also some cool feature like adding treking pole for snow load and the inside guylines looks like it can handle 4 season
Can't tell you where I got it "wink wink" I got a us army artic bag. And dig in at 6" the form of my bag. Put a mat down @ a half inch foam. then put a canvas tarp (tent ) over all. then find pine boughs to put on the sides. It's so warm I don't want to get out except for nature calls. hi hi SGT WILLIAMS RETIRED. Ps. Current AGE ? 68 YEARS. Young.
Great information here and this will translate into comfort for us while we sleep in the back of our truck overlanding! Thanks
Well done! Thanks for your efforts!
The z lite underneath is what will save your life when the other one pops.
Very informative video my friend. Thank you so much for sharing. All the best to you. I like your dog.
🤗
Winter is not uncomfortable. It's beautiful and there are no bugs. This is an unnecessarily negative attitude towards this season. Here in Noway we camp out in the winter all the time. He should also use a dedicated winter tent, and use a stove to warm up the tent. Overboots and over gloves is is also good.
Awesome !!
Thnxs for uploading and sharing this info !
👍🏻🇺🇸💯
A+ on your choice of Scotch
Was it Laphroig?
So cool!!
Enjoyed the video...Respected it when I spotted Laphroaig over snow at the end. cheers mate.
Honestly, all you need is a good tarp, thermarest, and sleeping bag. We sleep out under the stars with the kids in below zero weather. Knowing you can make a fire if you have to before morning breakfast.
Featherstone, Alps, Keystone, MSR...lot of 2-man dome tents out there for $500 less than that baby...and there are TONS of GOOD primary pads out there that are just as effective, and even lighter. The old military ground pads (rubber rolls, or closed cell polyethylene) are EXCELLENT ground temp barriers...they just aren't comfortable...so a self-inflating thermarest on top of the cheap old USGI rubber mat would get you into the R-10's, or more! (the test for ANY pad is to dress light, lay it on concrete in the cold you expect to endure, and LAY ON IT for an hour or two....if you can tolerate it, then it will work well once you are in a bag!)
Of course, you didn't mention the other 99-percent of gear for 'camping in the winter without dying', like fire-starters, tent lights, flashlights, folding and fixed-blade knives, backpacks, water filtration and storage, maps and orienteering, bowsaws, and possibly some addressment to weapons-systems (bow, gun, crossbow, etc.)...my god, you didn't even mention a fishing kit and lightweight collapsible fishing reel-pole!!!
I was surprised by the mesh tent!
Amethyst Jean .. yeah that’s not a 4 season tent
I only use the closed cell mat in winter because it's so incredible light 😁
The title got me...hehe
Uh... that rainfly is not what I would consider "to the ground" and that cold wind will get to you in that tent.
Agree. Horrible tent for winter, or even any bad weather. A lot of American tents are just badly designed.
Nope, not to the ground, but "cold" wind will not get to you. I use a similar tent in winter, and zero issues. It was one of the correct points in the video. Airflow is your friend against condensation.
Exped sleeping Mats are actually the best on the market.
You need double wall tent. And candlelights on a small metal plate in your outer tent.
Great video, thanks. Also, SlingFin Portal! Best tent I've ever owned.
Ha, ha, ha,.. The two parts I really liked,, wool,, I take it to additional levels and layers,, because my winter or spring trips are usually with a canoe (read that as wet feet), and a 7 to 10 day trip is a little one. Four to six weeks has been not unusual. I nearly never have a fire. Dedicated socks,for bedtime , absolutely,, but add to that dedicated bedtime, a cashmere sweater. Sounds extravagant,, it is not. The one change I recommend to you, add the cashmere sweater to your sleeping kit. Annnnd the cashmere sweater becomes your backup if the temps fall seriously during the day. Loose enough to be the layer above your merino wool. Heavy,, easy for a canoe,,, your -40 red zone sleeping bag ? Throw a wool blanket tight small weave army type,, over your bag. Now it IS a -40 bag Swiss army blankets are the best. Your advice is among the best I have seen here on UA-cam. Ooops,, almost forgot. The evening cocktail is an imperative. Spot on.
Awesome video man. Didn't know that about the fill power, good info to learn!!!
Great video.
WHAT'S THE DOG'S JACKET? I'M LOOKING FOR ONE...
YOU GOT A SUB!
Get your dog a Swanndri wool jacket
Check out ruffwear
Any word on that dogs jacket brand and make name?
@@cburgz3697 nope...
Would also help if you have a 4 season tent not a summer tent
This is a rich mans survival video
I like the video but wheres the dogs pad and blanket?
The silver side on the mat goes face down on the ground to deflect the cold
Uh......
lots of great information, thank you
Going camping and the option to NOT die - sure, count me in!
5:01 One-dog night.
Like what ya did with thw word play there most people won't catch that.
Got them on vinyl still
I could tell within 10 seconds of this video by the guy jacket its not what I consider winter.
I was surprised at the tent you were using ,being all mesh .
I have one similar but never tried in cold weather 😃 very interesting .
But don't you get cold drafts!
Great Advice
Ugh geeze dude get at least a mat for the awesome dog!
I really like those pants. Anyone know the brand?
Love the ending.
What is your approach to wild animals ie. wolves?
Good video. Thanks.
Do you need a sleeping pad if you are up on a cot?
My XTherm developed a leak I couldn't find. I had to go buy a foam mattress.
Where did you get your dogs jacket?
Please tell me where you bought that dogs jacket! ??
Good detailed video... I just cant sleep with socks on no matter what the temperature is
Tent ventilation means nothing when freezing. All condensation= ice. Out or inside... So An complete inner tent is warmer! In freezing temperatures, a real mountain tent is the option. About 2 pounds more weight...
Using a summer tent in winter. Nice advice !
Love the Laphroaig!
I can taste the ten year through the screen.

It is -30 here in Fairbanks alaska right now. It is not cold in this video, cannot even see your breath? You need an ecws sleeping bag and you coukd just lay on the ground without a tent. Also when it is cold you need to stay out of the low spots or valleys. 100 feet of elevation in the cold can make a 30 degree difference. Good video though.
what bag is that?
Where I come from we have warm snow not cold snow
Thank you for this very informative video.
I would like to go camping in winter but I do not want to invest $$$ in the purchase of a 4 season tent. Because it is quite expensive, several hundred dollars. I see that you use a tent 3 seasons (mosquito net on all 4 sides) that is to say that it is possible to do it. I have the Marmot Tungsten UL 1P model
So with a good ground insulation, adequate sleeping bag and good clothes it would be possible?
Melanie Cantin Yes, absolutely. Only exception is if you’re expecting heavy snow loads and/or fierce winds.
Animals do not have hard shells so unless it's raining I don't think we need one Just keep adding more breathable fleece. No hard shell means no condensation. If only I could afford a caribou outfit.
Looks like you've got a 3 season tent :/
Does anyone know the product Wes uses as a tent floor? It seems lightweight, waterproof/resistant on the bottom, and insulation above. Really interested in a product like that.
Where did you get the waterproof insulated tent floor? Thanks!
Do you have a link for that thermarest closed cell pad? I can't seem to find it. Thanka!
Very good video. Would you mind expounding on your dog’s jacket? Just what I need for my dog.
Thanks!
