Whats the fuss......

[hog]

....about snow, why is it that so many members want the horrid wet stuff to fall so badly.
Is it to give the gear a good cold weather test or is it just you like being semi warm in a cold wet surrounding ?
Just interested.

 

[Man of Tanith]

Give gear a good test in the cold for me

and as i tell worl mates who look shocked when i say i am going camping in winter and hope it will snow
Anyone can camp when it is warm and sunny it hones your skills doing it in the cold

Probably a lot of members are teenagers or still like snow

Is this aimed at anyone inparticular.

It brightens up everything and night can seem almost daylight.

Probably a lot of members are teenagers or still like snow

And what's wrong with that exactly?

Ive noticed an increase in teen members but surely this is a good thing?


I enjoy the snow. It's so rare to get decent snow these days why shouldn't we enjoy the fun part of it? Granted the melting slushy icy part isn't so fun.....

Coz I is a hardcore bushcrafter me and I likes da snow (joking more lightweight really)

Oh and the real reason is I just like camping whatever the weather, simple really . When the conditions are a bit tougher it just makes me feel better(achievement kinda thing) but enjoy being out whatever

Ohhh and coz it makes everything look real pretty

I want snow so I can go snowboarding, pulking, hanging in the silence of a snowy camp, practise some winter skills, build a snowman and go sledging with the wife

Because we all spend too much time browsing the forum, eBay, utube, surplus stores buying and learning abaht kit and techniques.
Then we have to graft longer and harder to pay for it.
then we have to get out and use it (all year round) .
By the time we've done all this......our gardens have become neglected and look shabby against the neighbors ......

Where's this going?

Ahhh the snow question .....


We crave the snow.......as it makes all the gardens look equal .....then swmbo can't nag abaht the state of the garden as there's Nowt we can do abaht it.

So in turn we can go aht an play in the stuff and be comfy/safe and warm with all the gear and learning we've accrued , safe in the knowledge that we don't need ear plugs for a change

i want the snow because when its snowing its not raining and anything is better than rain i am sick of it.

 

[Big Stu 12]

Its just an other one of natures challange to test you, your kit, and your skills.... and it just another excuse to go and play, if not in the bush, in the Landy.....

 

[dwardo]

Because its dry in comparison to damp and rain. Makes any same old hang out seem magical. Fantastic for tracking animals.
To name a few.

 

[abominable_scouse_monster]

Snow for me I just like cold weather, cold and dry I'll give the rain a miss.

 

[MikeLA]

Where does it say there is something wrong it that.

 

[WULF]

Probably a lot of members are teenagers or still like snow

Or maybe the older members are still big kids inside

 

[MikeLA]

True camping in rain is a real challenge sometimes difficult to enjoy. Coldest snow and weather i been in recently was -10 last year, camped for three nights,the worst bit getting water out of a stream.

 

[hog]

Is this aimed at anyone inparticular.

No, not at all.
A genuine question, seriously.

 

[MikeLA]

Or maybe the older members are still big kids inside

What bloke isnt when we can. Still try and nick my kids sledge, just to show them how to do it obviously

We keep our small garden untidy 'for the birds and hedgehogs'
