    007.jpgCampsite on the upper end of Blockstand creek in the Rocky Fork area near Devil's Fork Gap. On one of the many unmarked log skidder roads @ 3700ft, navigating with my Garmin headed for the AT. The next day I made it to the AT in about 2 hours and an 800ft elevation gain.004.jpg Two days later camped just south of the Shelton graves on my way out after a clean up mission at Jerry's Cabin shelter.

    Fingerboard shelter, no?

    Yes indeed! We all tented the next night at William Brien. We were just strolling about, except that a couple of the stronger hikers went and did a big loop to the south. It was snowy there too, but I don't think anyone thought to take a picture. It was a mite chilly: the snivel meter said 18 °F inside my tent the next morning. The way body heat warms a tent, it must have been quite a bit colder outside. The Boy Scouts who were using the shelter decamped in the middle of the night.
    I always know where I am. I'm right here.

    Here's one from one of my Nepal trips back in the 90's.
    This one is from 17,500' Dhampus pass which is just north of Dhaligiri.
    I stayed here again in 2004 the night before I summited 20,000' Dhampus peak.P5050057.jpg

    Did they really? I just thought they got up, earlier than we did and hiked on!

    Funny thing about that trip is that I brought my zero degree bag that was actually too warm, but I stupidly only packed my beat up zrest foam pad that didn't have nearly enough insulation. I slept on my side and had to keep switching sides throughout the night because whatever side was against the pad was freezing and the side that was on top kept sweating!

    I wonder if Lou's going to post a photo of his "hooch" shelter.

    That looks like a North Face frog-style tent and I've seen a view over the years. Very cool pic of some real mountains.


    Here's a similar North Face tent but in different mountains. Much different.

    Speaking of boy scouts reminds me of this pic though they weren't scouts and spent a frigid night above 5,000 feet on a mountain in NC. I woke up the next day at 8am and they were gone! Bailed fast.


    I remember they saying, "Good God! It's alot colder than we thought it would be!" Yes. The wild thing is they are camping in a Eureka Timberline tent under a leaning dead tree and oops but this tree falls a couple years later right where their tent is.

    harpers ferry hike 090.jpg Cuban Fiber tarp tent in the snow. It sure sounded cool. The snow did not blow up into the inside and the wind sure did howl all night. Harpers Ferry area.

    I'm jealous, I've scoured all my Florida Trail hiking photos, and can't come up with any snow pics. I do have some pics of snow-white beach sand, but doubt that would fool you guys.

    This is a great pic showing what winter camping is all about---overcast skies, snow everywhere and maybe even spindrift, a coated tent requiring some effort to take down and stuff (in a bag probably a little bit too small for an ice-encrusted tent), and the all-important guylines pegged for in-camp tent security. "Better to peg out and not need them than to need them and not be pegged out". This is a sentence I repeat every night before going to sleep.

    In such warm conditions or in places without any chance of snow I do the following technique and it really helps:

    Open up refrigerator freezer at home and stick head inside. Try to slam freezer door shut 3 times. Keep head inside. Repeat at intervals.

    This pic reminds me of certain snow conditions when the air humidity is high and the temps cold and my tent condensation is TERRIBLE.
