Best camping season-winter camping system

There are always many expectations for winter.

Lying on the ice, camping, digging snow holes, every breath of the wind is so strong, and every snow is so exciting. Spring, summer and autumn are just small fights, and winter is the time to test equipment.

The same camping equipment will be a little different in winter. The camping system consists of tents, sleeping bags and moisture-proof mats. It is also closely related to warmth and catering.

Tent selection

You can basically see all kinds of tents in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, the weather is cold, windy and mosquito-free, so many people choose to carry pyramids, tunnel tents and mountain tents. I won't say much about the weight, wind resistance and comprehensive cost performance of these three tents. Everyone has their own ideas. As a pyramid party, I think I mainly praise the pyramids.

In fact, what I mainly want to say is Diding: How much wind can a tent resist? In addition to the structure and fabric, the most important reason is whether Diding is firm or not. DAC is used in other three seasons, and cement nails are changed in winter. Not all broken soil can be easily driven into frozen soil. I usually carry a claw hammer, which is mainly used to beat and pull soil quickly.

If you say that you can throw stones at the camp and pour boiling water, these ideas are all right, but in winter, stones are usually frozen on the ground, and it is actually unknown whether you can pick them up. Secondly, the stone is really cold, even if you wear gloves, your hands are cold. Diding often comes in with his bare hands. I'm sorry I haven't tried pouring hot water. It may take ten minutes to barbecue a pot of water in winter. I don't know how many pots I can pull. It is better to have this time.

Winter is also the season when Diding is easy to break, bend and lose. It is best to connect with wind rope points. When a corner of the pyramid was blown away, Diding was not easy to find.

The concrete floor in the snow is useless. You need branches, trekking poles or bags to hold the snow. You can write an article alone. If you have to build a pyramid, then your imagination is endless, and there is always a way. Even if you haven't been out in winter, you haven't read any articles about winter camping.

Note that some fabrics have poor ductility in winter, and the tent poles are too long to be built. You need a unicorn's arm, strong and barely accessible. As for how long it will take, it's hard to say.

Extension of construction time

Usually five minutes to build a tent, half an hour in winter, half an hour, are not exaggerated time. It is possible to play for two hours in heavy snow, so put on down jacket and pants in advance.

space

On the premise of ensuring wind protection, the bigger the space, the better. Almost tents get cold in winter. The large space avoids the influence of sleeping bags on warmth. It is also convenient to change clothes and stand up, and legs are prone to cramps. No matter how careful you are in winter, you almost get the snow into the tent. One more thing, in winter, in a tent with bottomless snow, there is really no need to go out to the toilet in the middle of the night, so explain more.

Snow is usually buried around the pyramids, which is better to keep warm and will not be blown away by the wind. If there is a crack at the bottom of the tent and the sleeping place is so close to the edge of the tent, you will feel that it will be much better to have more space and stay away from the tent every time it is windy.

campground

You must choose a shelter camp, and the second is to find a camp that can get the sun in the first place. There are two seasons in winter: sunshine and no sunshine.

weight

Pyramid+Diding+wind rope is about1000g, tunnel account is about1200-3500g, and mountain account is about 3000g or more. Save the weight of1000-2000g and bring a duvet and a damp-proof pad, okay? OK or not?

Importance of moisture-proof mat

The cold in winter comes not only from cold air, but also from underground. The feeling of three seasons is not obvious. Ordinary damp-proof mats are enough, but you will obviously feel the cold underground in winter. In winter, many people will bring a big and thin foam mat (of course, they also bring it at ordinary times). If you feel cold, it is recommended to use a double-layer moistureproof pad instead of an expensive one, which will have a good effect. If the foam cushion+inflatable cushion works well.

Double-layer moisture-proof pad

I've been using inflatable moisture-proof mats in winter, which will melt the snow. Every time before dawn, it is the coldest time, half is the weather, and half is the water with ice under it. Even if the camp is exposed to the sun for more than 8 hours during the day, it looks like dry and warm land on the surface, and it will be wet the next day.

The double-layer damp-proof mat has been used for a long time. Generally, the foam moisture-proof cushion is used as the base, and the skeleton inflatable cushion is placed in the sleeping bag to improve the moisture-proof effect. Second, the sleeping bag is too loose, adding a moisture-proof pad will be more compact and the sleeping bag will fit better.

A warmer sleeping bag

Everyone knows that most of the sleeping bags upgraded in winter are 1000g thick sleeping bags. I use a sleeping bag for two now. Theoretically 1+ 1 is not equal to 2. For example, if you bring a 700g and a 400g sleeping bag, the effect is not as good as 1 100g, or even more.

Sleeping bag for two

A few years ago, the great god who loves hydropower put forward the double sleeping bag system. Those who are interested or haven't seen it can go to bbs.chinaul.net, the Great God Forum.

I am a mummy+duvet, and duvet is used as a liner to fill the mummy.

Now I will bring an extra down scarf. There was no good sleeping bag before, and the windshield of the sleeping bag was not done well. Down scarf can improve the warmth of neck and shoulders, and the effect is similar to wind wall. It can be used as a feather ball, shawl and many other tricks to play with.

Wind-proof wall

At present, valandre is a good sleeping bag with windbreak wall. Lightweight sea-to-peak has no wind wall, and its width is narrower, which is more suitable for me.

Waterproof fabric?

Many people like to use waterproof fabrics in winter, and I prefer breathable fabrics. Bivy+ sleeping bag is not effective, so I don't like sleeping bags with waterproof fabric. If the tent space is large enough, the sleeping bag will not rub against the frosted tent. Even if there is, frost will form on the surface. As long as it doesn't melt, it won't get wet. The place where the sleeping bag is frosted must be the place where the nose and mouth breathe, which is inevitable unless you sleep very loosely.

Camping without tents

When there is no snow around, you can choose camping in the open air. Of course, you should always be ready in case it snows. Teammates' tents, quickly built awnings and life-saving blankets are all good choices. Don't worry about condensation.

Perfect camp. You don't need a tent.

finally

If you still feel cold when you sleep in winter, you can consider using pyramids, adding thin duvets and moisture-proof mats to reduce the weight.

Other ways to improve and keep warm

-the source of all things, water.

Fill a thermos bottle, roll on sleeping bags and clothes, and remove moisture before going to bed.

Drink hot water when it is cold.

When you want to pee, you pee in a bottle and put it in a sleeping bag as a thermos.
