The best winter camping gear of 2022.
Winter camping is easier than you might think. After all, pioneers prospered in harsh winter environments with much less technology than we have now but having the right gear can make for a successful winter camping experience. It is important to know before you go and check the weather conditions. Your gear should be rated for the conditions that lay ahead and you’ll want to be prepared for the unknown.

Kevin Callan’s book the Complete Guide to Winer Camping offers these tips:

  • Layer up – starting with a close fitting good quality base layer to trap body heat and wick away moisture.
  • Stay dry – Wet or sweaty clothes will quickly lower your body temperature. Peel off layers to limit perspiration.
  • Sleep with your gear – keep clothes and electronic gadgets in your sleeping bag to keep them dry and prevent battery drainage.
  • Cowboy coffee – one tablespoon of coffee per cup of hot water to boiling and set for 10 minutes. Tap on pot with a knife to settle the grounds before drinking.
  • Strategic urination – drink plenty of water but don’t idle when nature calls. Your body will burn up calories to heat any urine stored in your bladder. Keep a “pee” bottle handy in your tent at night to keep from venturing into the cold.
  • Choose the right sleeping bag – winter camping usually requires a 0 to 15 degree bag. 
  • Don’t forget the pad – a good sleeping pad is priceless and will help keep you warm. Invest wisely and check the R rating. The higher the R value the better it will insulate you from cold surfaces.
  • Choose your campsite wisely – avoid bottom of hills where cold air troughs form, and tops of hills that are exposed. Steer clear of heavy weighted branches and tree or rock wells that could sink.
  • Bring a book – Winter nights can be long. 
  • Pitch a tent inside your car – this can provide additional insulation on particularly freezing nights when car camping.
