Our tent in a winter storm. High winds are especially dangerous during winter hikes, as they efficiently remove body heat, which can lead to frostbite or even hypothermia. They can also affect visibility, making navigation and movement difficult. If the winds get too strong, pitching a tent might become impossible, so it's important to be aware of the situation.

Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping

I prefer hammocks with a "spreader bar" at the shoulders.

These hammocks use a short, flexible tent pole. They can be pitched without additional staked-out lines. The pole supports the bug-netting, keeping it away from your upper body. It can also support the rainfly as is the case with the hammock on the right. The extra weight is minimal. It can be hard to find this configuration. 🙁

@bikerouter ah, the ones I cited above are not campgrounds, they have room for a few tents close together, zero cars/RVs/trailers/infrastructure.

I suppose tourism=camp_site represents both ends of that spectrum, and a name makes sense for one end. The thing I cited is "A backcountry area with few to no facilities, often accessible only by off-road vehicle or on foot.", maybe 80 sq meters including campfire & shore, where "off-road vehicle" means canoe.

@bikerouter Looks like it works for all the campsites in Algonquin (eg 45.7772538,-78.6432329).

Though the iconography w/ "Unnamed Campsite" thing is kinda weird. Why would a campsite have a name? Is that common elsewhere? These are really just lat/long on the shore of a lake, with room for pitching 1-3 tents and a fire pit. Is the name for areas with many pitches? Or campsite nodes reachable by bicycle?

The simplest things are often the very things that make you feel alive 💚

I spent last weekend at a cabin in the woods with my friend Lissy and her golden retriever Morris, having good conversations, making pine needle tea, reading books, hiking long distances, climbing trees, and enjoying the sun. Even though my body ached a bit from all the walking, I couldn’t have been happier. We even found a partial deer skull (it’s on the last slide for those who don’t want to see it)! Going outside truly never gets old 🍃

Edit: nooooo @Pixelfed why have you started cropping photos? Please stahp 🥲
