SNOWCAMPING? S’NO PROBLEM!
GEAR ESSENTIALS FOR WINTER CAMPING
By Melissa McGibbon
When I was a kid, I wanted to build an igloo and live in it. I thought perhaps I would have some penguin pals and maybe there would be a friendly polar bear family in the neighborhood. Now as an adult, though not necessarily a grown-up, I’ve learned that if I want to camp in the snow I don’t need to cuddle with a yeti in order to avoid becoming a peoplecicle; I just need the right gear.
