Don’t let small tent parts ruin winter camping adventures

Winter backpacking carries risks, rewards
Winter backpacking carries its own set of risks, and some very real rewards, especially if you enjoy the solitude of back country woods and mountains. Major risks involved are mostly weather related. The rewards are the joy and excitement of seeing only your footprints in a new field of snow, or reaching that ridge or summit where you can almost touch the clouds above and look down on white, fluffy snow below. All those good things you can only experience with a successful winter backpacking adventure.

Camping toilet kits real lifesavers for campers
A good camping toilet may be the real lifesaver for all if you’re going on a camping trip anywhere but a well-developed camping ground. Many state and national parks have excellent toilet facilities for campers, but they may not be all that convenient to your campsite. And if you’re going into more rugged camping conditions than a park, you may find yourself with toilet paper and flashlight in hand going into the woods to really “rough it.” Don’t let toilet facilities put a, uh, strain on your camping experience.

Handy gear loft adds storage space to tent
A handy, roomy gear loft may be just the accessory you need to add needed storage space to your tent on your next camping outing.
If you’ve ever wished you had more closet space at home, you will understand the need for organization and storage space in your tent, no matter how roomy that tent may be. A gear loft is usually a square, or rectangular, or triangular chunk of netting or cloth that hooks with clips and/or cords to the loops near the ceiling of most tents. Check some commercial camping gear sites and you can often find gear lofts constructed specifically to fit some of the more popular brands and sizes of tents. Or you can, without a great deal of effort, put one together on your own.
