@Stereoguy looks like fun, I’d hate to do it when it gets warm here and the snakes and scorpions start crawling around though. There are a lot of winter camping videos, they’ll camp in the snow.

@Stereoguy One of the guys uses titanium stoves inside of his tent to heat it and cook, he can set up his tents quickly and the stove too but spends a bit of time gathering wood, sawing it up etc and many times makes a campfire outside to cook his lunch and coffee before he goes inside to warm up. I bet he has 4 or 5 different titanium stoves and I don’t know how many tents, they all set up quickly.

@Stereoguy be better here than camping in the summer. too damn many copperhead snakes plus rattlesnakes around here for me to be comfortable sleeping in a tent unless it’s winter or unless it’s got a floor and there are no gaps for one to crawl into it.

@Stereoguy snakes can crawl up the side of a house and into an open window or patio door on the 2nd floor. I had a small striped snake get a bedroom window that had two windows, it got wedged in the slide thing on the inside and died. I found it dead when I was washing windows in the late spring. It was trying to get inside.

@Stereoguy The thing about rattlesnakes and copperheads is that you won’t know they are there most of the time till you start doing something and uncover them. When I was living in the country it was a little rent house and the previous guy left a lot of chicken pens and we tore them down and piled up the boards. One day I went out to start burning the boards in a barrel & was using a hoe to pick each one up out of the pile because there were a lot of black widow spiders. I had burned boards for a couple of hours and got down to the bottom few in the pile and heard a buzzing when I lifted a board. I put the board down and it stopped and each time I lifted it would hear it again. Figured it was a rattlesnake and went inside for a few hours.
