Bitter Cold and This Little Sled Still Goes

The temperature outside was - 25 degrees Celsius as I trudged toward my little 256cc sled. 

I needed to pack in the trails for future firewood gathering but I was unsure if the little Bravo would fire up. 

One pull on the cord and the little Yamaha started. The game was on and away we went to pack in the trails and collect a few pieces of firewood I had previously cut. 

It's amazing how fast the wildlife catch onto the trails and use them to their advantage. Instead of pushing through deep snow, they can traverse the land and conserve energy. 

In the coming days, my little Bravo will be put to heavy work hauling out the cord wood needed to keep the homestead warm. 

Stay Warm and Happy Trails. 

 

Cold Weather Camp Gear - The Basics

Cold weather camping adds a whole new layer to what you need to have in your pack. 

Hypothermia can creep up on you with very little warning, and it can be deadly.

Being prepared is key to the enjoyment of camping when temperatures plunge below zero. 

This video shows the bare essentials I bring along if I am planning to spend a night or two in the woods. 

Happy Camping!
