It has been a conversation piece around many campfires. Which do you prefer, winter or summer exploration?
For this Texan, there are only two seasons, and I prefer summer. So, I know things are COLD but don't fret, spring is coming.

Hey all! New to the community, transitioning from backpack camping to vehicle-based adventuring. I drive lots of dirt utility roads in the SoCal backcountry for work, but have started getting out on my own now, mostly truck trails and campgrounds while I kit out for longer trips and dispersed...

I am traveling through the Sierras this week and weather forecast is expecting up to 8 inches of snow, Should I be worried? what gear besides chains and basic tools should I have?
Car: Stock jeep rubicon (JKU), Stock tires (BFGoodrich's mud-terrain T/A KM).
Looking back on it now I think "cabin fever" might've put better judgement in a backseat to looking for an adventure when I decided to pack up the bike this weekend & head north into the forest... before spring's even started... but oh well it was a hell of a challenge & good fun in the end...
Every February, I do a Utah Ski trip with a group of outdoor enthusiasts ranging from a half dozen to dozen. This year, with the snow looking so thin, two of us are planning to drive our rigs up (from San Diego). We're hoping to find some good winter trails and campsites that are accessible...
Well, we got our first snow on Thursday...woke up to about 2-1/2 inches blanketing our area. Of course we are about 500+ feet above town, lol, so by the time I drove down to town, (at sea level), all they got was a very light dusting...so I snapped these pics at the gas station while I fueled...

It is that time of year (at least here in Northern BC) where the weather is getting cooler and winter is coming. Who goes overloading in winter and what changes do you make to your rig and equipment? I want to get out as much as possible but I have never winter camped and want to be as prepared...
Alright guys and gals,
I am starting my trip planning for my winter off. I work seasonally and collect a paycheck in the winter months without having to work. I know it is pretty great. This winter I am looking to play snowbird, yes at 25 my parents are super jealous. Anyway, I am looking to...
