    I go snowshoeing during the day, or maybe drive around in the snow, my car is very capable. We don’t have mountains nearby to ski or snowboard, and I don’t care for cross country skiing.

    Sometimes I’ll drive to town for a meal in a local diner, or I’ll spend some time cooking a nice meal at my camp. I don’t spend time in my tent except to sleep or change my clothes, maybe roll a joint away from the wind.

    I can sit comfortably outside in a chair for hours at -20C without getting cold. I like to stand by the fire sometimes, maybe listen to some music, there’s never anyone right next to me it will bother. And yes a fire is nice, but I don’t need it to stay warm. I do like to cook over the fire also. A campstove is efficient, but cooking some meat over a fire in the snow is a vibe.

    Sometimes I have data coverage where I camp, and I might spend a little time on my phone or on a tablet. They don’t mind bitter cold, although batteries don’t perform quite as well. I have lots of options for power sources if needed. But honestly I prefer when I’m outside of data range and no one can reach me.
