It takes me 5 minutes to set up my $100 popup tent which seems to be made of more sturdy material.

    I kinda want to get into winter camping but the winters are pretty deathly up here

    I finally got a new 2 person tent though and did some fall camping last year and it was so comfortable and easy to set up, I'm never going back to the old shitty tent (even tho its way bigger)

      It's definitely a special challenge and you need the right gear, but wow can it be rewarding. Waking up in the middle of the night and going out of the tent to see a full blizzard was one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. The absolute silence was incredible.

        Yeah, nothing like sitting around a campfire with your girl as snow falls around you and you drink a few beers before keeping each other warm for the night. Snow camping is beautiful.

        Canvas wall tents really are crazy how comfortable and easy they are. (Except moving them, those sumbitches are heavy)

      Winter camping is amazing. Obviously you need to know what you're doing and to be prepared but some of my fondest moments of camping were during the winter.
