Default Will winter stop you?

Fall will be here soon and winter won't be far behind. I always hike year round, but I do not camp or boat much past October. Will the winter stop you?

Winter is one of the best seasons to be out overnight here in the lower deserts. It is also one of the best seasons for photography. It never stops us.

I don't like the cold. I will go out in it and get to the great outdoors, but I will not sleep over night outdoors in freezing weather unless I have to.

I will hike around a bit but never done any winter camping. I have slept outside during the winter months while in the military but never done anything on my own. I should try it!

Our kids are too small for winter camping, but we did it before we had additions to the family. It's nice in the winter because no one else is out!

We don't winter camp but I would love to give it a try. We are going to camp in October this year but I don't see us camping much later than that.

We hike up the tubing hill in the winter and then sled down!

No. Snow shoeing, snowboarding, sledding, fishing and of course camping.

I will be backpacking. Like winter much better than the heat of summer.
