You can survive winter in a tent, but it requires a lot of work to do so. Preparation again is key to a successful winter in a tent! A well-insulated tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pads, and a stove are some essentials that you will need to avoid feeling the chill.
You must choose a sheltered location to survive the winter in a tent. Look for a spot that is sheltered from the wind and is free from potential avalanche danger. You will need to pack down any snow before erecting your tent, too, so be sure to allow ample time and daylight for this.
When camping in the winter, the correct clothing will go a long way to ensuring you last the winter. Layers fleeced clothing, and hats, scarves, and gloves should be at the top of your list!
Increasing your calorie intake will also help you survive the winter. Lots of hot drinks will keep you hydrated and nutritious meals will help your body survive in the colder months. Remember to take your cooking essentials to allow for this; a stove and kettle will quickly become your best friends.
While camping in the winter is more challenging, there is no reason that you cannot camp in the winter. Just be sure you have the necessary equipment and are prepared for some chilly evenings!
