Winter Camping Gear You Must Have

Regardless of the time of year, camping can be extremely enjoyable and a lot of fun. However, the amount of fun involved depends largely on your having the appropriate camping gear at the right place. Remember that camping gear that suits warmer conditions does not translate well into winter use.

The following items should be considered when purchasing your winter camping gear. A good tip is to keep in mind that it is easier to buy discount camping gear that is winter-related during warmer seasons.

1) Insulated Sleeping Bags

It is not a given that insulated sleeping bags can handle winter conditions, but it is a good start. Find one that has multiple insulation layers and is water resistant. Your comfort depends the type of material used for the layer that touches your skin, which is typically moisture wicking.

2) Portable cooker/heater

There is not much that beats a warm soup, or warm food of any kind, during a cold camping trip. Aside from cooking and heating your meals when a campfire is obsolete, these are also capable of warming your tent. Though those used in tents need to be specifically approved for tent usage and have a safety turn-off feature.

3) Four-Season Tent

You will need the appropriate tent to camp in the winter, as these have more fastening options, wider pole diameters, better ventilation and more space for storing your gear. The poles and guy-lines are necessary to hold your tent down during winter winds.
