And sometimes not, lol.

There are a lot of pretty cool extreme winter camping vids on YT that are fun to watch. Russia, and Scandinavia actually have some pretty good ones too, being they are from the land of the north. Maybe you can get some ideas in case the shtf weather wise one more time. Or maybe you already know all this stuff. I myself am a big baby, but I like watching others do it . I hope the weather gives you the break you need.
I am way too delicate for winter camping now. Done it as a teenager in a tent but we are way more adventuress when young. I was at a friends house yesterday that we camp at the same areas. Camping got brought up because we are in a crazy heat wave. It was 57 degrees here and normally it should be 29 degrees out as a high. When I looked it was warmer here than Newport. That rarely happens this time of year.

I have a older travel trailer. If it wasn't for having to winterize it again afterwards I would do some camping earlier than normal during these nice stretches.

Enjoy the nice weather while you can. Who knows how long it will last. You guys just have a case of cabin fever, lol. There are also some cool yt videos on winterizing older travel trailers. I have two lefts thumbs but like to see what others have done. I live vicariously, lol.

I also enjoy the youtube videos of what some do to live in their campers year around in colder climates. The winterizing I mean is draining my water heater and filling water lines with antifreeze so they don't freeze.

Yeah, like Cheap RV Living, and a bunch of others. Who needs tv when we have yt, lol.

Hey, if you want to continue this maybe we should go to PM before we are given the axe for being OT. I always wander all over the place, sorry.
