Work related, yes. Basic winter warfare. Its nice providing you have the right gear to keep warm. Perfect time of year to explore and camp if you have allergies to nature.

Last time I was snow camping it wasn't part of the big plan. It was April in Ohio at my 4x4 clubs novice ride. That being said, I'd like to plan as snow camping/trail riding trip, Ron
You betcha. I love the snow. The biggest issue winter camping in a tent is the moisture in the tent.

Love snow camping, my favorite! Have the right gear, have the right attitude, have a fun time! And yes, you can stay warm and completely comfortable. It just takes the above. Benz.

Hammock camping in negative temperatures is the best. Planning a trip between Missoula mt to Spearfish sd in January.

I am working on putting together a winter camp out rally point at Paoli Peaks IN. in January if anyone is interested...If we get 10 people together we can get a discount of passes to ski or snowboard while we are there....lots of good back roads in the area to explore also....
Winter camping is in the books for me as well! Got a nice 0 degree bag and a Big Buddy for backup heat if it gets too cold in the tent.

It's awesome. My girlfriend and I went to June Lake near Mammoth Friday after thanksgiving. We towed a camper trailer through the snow on CA-88 past Kirkwood. Snow level was around 6,000 ft. The temp dropped to around 22F on the night between Sat/Sun. We brought an extra tent with a Mr Heater propane heater for thawing out in the morning. We were pretty comfortable in our warm sleeping bags in the roof top tent on top of the trailer.

I cheat with the heat....but still enjoy it

It is a beast for sure. Goes anywhere we need but pretty industrial. Yours looks pretty awesome also. I built an expediton trail, had four wheel camper and now the beast. Also have a JK in AZ.
We couldnt drive right to one of our favourite spots, but the walk was less than 50 meters. A 3/4 season tent and a couple sleeping bags and we stayed comfortable.
