New to Winter Camping? Read This

If you’ve never done it before but want to learn, there’s an excellent Beginner’s Guide to Winter Camping just posted on Backpacker’s blog. Though brief, it covers the bases well. It also makes clear that the winter camping experience is very different (albeit very fun) from camping in the other 3 seasons. I was happy to see a few budget-conscious tips as well, which will offset the gut-caving realization that you really have to buy a crapload of new gear for winter camping. Via WinterCampers.
