Thread: First winter overnight of the season

    Default First winter overnight of the season

    Decided on a whim to spend a forecast snowstorm in the woods. Got stuck on a road that hadn't been plowed yet, so just pitched my tent there instead of making it to the planned destination. Turned out to be the right decision, because a plow didn't come along for almost 24 hours.

    One more pic, collecting firewood. Lucked into my favorite, a couple standing dead Hop-Hornbeams. Don't know if you have them in Europe, but their wood is incredibly dense and heavy, and even my little tent stove will hold a fire all night with it.
