Winter camping brings an entirely new element to the activity of camping. Of course if you have friends and family who have gone camping or hiking before, there is an added advantage, which may make the learning process a lot quicker and also help you be better prepared.
When camping, you will have to pack extra propane bottles, the older liquid gas lanterns give off just as much light but you will have to refill the tank with liquid gas and this can be messy as well as dangerous if you are not careful. Using the Internet to research available sites is an ideal tool to determine the areas that are closest to you. No matter how thirsty you feel, drinking water from streams and rivers can only compound your problems while camping.
As difficulty increases, however, so does the amount of stuff you need. Always wear woolen socks to keep the feet dry and comfortable. Another factor to consider is the sort of conditions the tent will need to cope with.
You will need to replace shoes every so often, but it is really a minor expense compared to other sports. Read a good book with the wind whispering through the leaves.
