Winter Camping
Well if you’ve been reading my posts you probably know that I was supposed to go snowmobiling with my cousin and we were supposed to go fishing and sleep in the middle of the bush.
It started out like that on Saturday morning. Actually my alarm didn’t go off at 6am when it was supposed to, I woke up at 7:30am after the phone rang a dozen times. Saturday started off pretty bad. We had a hell of a time packing everything into the sleigh. The snowmachine went through the ice when we crossed the ditch. The sleigh tipped over and we lost half of our gear. All of this was even before we got to the gas station where we ate breakfast. Over breakfast we decided not to take the snowmachine out there because it was heating up due to the lack of snow. It was super warm all week then everything froze and everything was ice.
So after breakfast we decided to go back home, take everything we had in the sleigh and put it in the truck. So we didn’t end up going fishing but we did end up going camping. We drove out by the grassy river and camped out right at the bottom of the hill by the creek. I didn’t really want JP to take the truck down there but there wasn’t much snow. Some people might thing we are crazy going camping when it’s -28 celsius or -19 fahrenheit but it was lots of fun. The tent that we were using was made for winter and the sleeping bags were rated for up to -35. We weren’t cold at all, until we got up in the morning. It’s pretty cold getting into a frozen pair of ski pants and jacket when it’s -28 outside.
Anyways here are a few pictures from out trip.










Looks like a blast… I’m planning on camping this weekend. Can’t wait to try my first snow shelter. Woooo-hoooo!
