Convince Your Friends To Go Winter Camping

Winter camping is super rewarding, but convincing others to join you isn’t always easy. It’s best to have a few tricks.

Winter camping solo is way less fun than it sounds (really). Long hours of darkness and tent time, and the additional risk of cold weather make it a fine time to go camping with someone you like. But, oh. So many people hang up their boots for the winter. That’s why you must convince them!

10. Ask Your Crazy Friend. This is the easiest way. Find someone who never stops talking about his/her three-season hardcore (possibly solo) exploits. Challenge this person by saying something like, “You haven’t truly experienced [insert name of place], until you’ve seen it in the winter.”

9. Ask Your Fitness Friend. We all have one. Tell him/her there is no better all-body workout than postholing up to your hips in snowshoes. Allow him/her to break trail most of the way.

8. Ask Your Reserved Friend. The weird guy that doesn’t talk much? Guess what else he won’t do much: complain. Boom.
