WINTER CAMPING EQUIPMENT LIST


Here is a suggested list for Cold-Weather Campouts. Remember, conditions vary and what might be appropriate for one set of conditions (e.g., 10° and snowing) can be wrong for another (e.g., 33° and freezing rain). The most important things are to stay dry, have a hat or hood on at all times, and have enough pairs of socks. The challenge here is to bring what you need without making your pack too heavy.
