    Oh man this is making me jealous. I’ve not gone snow camping, but I want to.

    A buddy of mine is game to do it too, just gotta find the time before winter is over.

    I have no idea how to winter camp. Is this a special tent for winter camping? It looks pretty thin. Is the snow piled up around the edges on purpose? Does that seal the tent better?

      Most of your warmth should come from a more insulated sleeping bag and pad. And/or doubling them up. Assume the tent is mostly just a wind break unless you’re going down the hot tent route with a stove or heater.

      There are winter tents with less mesh (to keep blown snow out) and stronger flies and poles for snow and wind, but 3 season tents can do a lot if you don’t want to camp in a blizzard (I don’t).
