winter

Gonna be staying in a 12ft travel trailer for winter in rural new york using an electric heater. Person I'm working for in exchange for the space told me to run it continuously... I don't feel comfortable doing that. My cat will be there while I'm gone so it does need to be warm enough for her...

There are two traditional modes of thought when it comes to staying warm. There are divided into the synthetic camp and the natural fibers camp. But I have pieced together a system (I had advice from others) that combines both and uses them to their strengths. I will also go over some of the...

I'm a pretty cold person, and so I was thinking about getting myself a pair of bibs. Especially with winter approaching here where I live now...but also i was thinking ahead for the future. Any of you that have travelled with bibs before, is it worth the extra weight in the pack? Do they keep...

Looking for someone, or a few people that are interested in going off grid for the winter. We'd build a nice shelter, fire pit, etc. I have the skills for this and if you do too that would work great. Trying to get this going asap. If you have a car, I have gas money-but would have to figure...

Thought I'd share my winter gear setup, see what ya'll thought about it. I do realize it's alot more than most carry, but I'm used to it, and I use every piece of it. Gear List: Pack -Osprey Aether AG 70L -Osprey waterproof pack liner Shelter/sleeping: -OR Advanced Bivy -8x10' tarp...

Well I'm 97.8% certain I will be sleeping outside this winter. The exciting part is that I think that i have found a place to make a semi- long term shelter. I've watched a lot of videos but I'd like some advice from people who've actually done it. I'm thinking Teepee because it would obscure...

Greetings from the beginnings of Australian winter! Here's some photos I had on my camera from when I was home in Upstate NY/Western Massachusetts back in December:) Albany, NY Saratoga, NY Fitchburg, MA

I'm not very good at sleeping outside and have been freezing to death, but I've found a solution for cheap. You can buy 40lb bags of Kimmel brand anthracite coal from tractor supply for 6$ (or take it out of a train). Its hard to get started but once it goes it kicks out insane heat and lasts a...

I've had a few whiskey sours and my 'magination is running wild with thoughts of adventures in foreign lands. I learned last year that in addition to having Costa Rican ancestry, that the other half of my family on my mother's side is descended from Portugal! So, I got a wild hair and thought...

I've started forgetting pieces of my travels, so i figure it'll help to get them down. This story starts Christmas a few years ago. I was living in the boonies in northern new england in a derelict former hippie commune turned end-of-the-road trailer park. I got fired from my full-time gig...

Aloha Nomads! Im back again with another video for whoever wants to see it. This video is a montage of some of my time here so far. Da palm trees, clear ocean, cliff jumping, clear skies. and chillin at some locals spots. Its lookin like ill be staying here for another full season before...

Hey y'all. I'm heading up to Alaska in a few weeks to work as a deckhand on a boat for a bit. Never been up to Alaska- got hooked up b/c a friend fishes there. Clueless about what to bring for fall/winter. The salmon season is only for a bit longer- so I'll only be working for like a month...

-30ºC = -22F

For personal reasons, I cant stay at the shelter house during the winter and i hate being around strangers, im considering sleeping outside in the winter, but on da cheapest fundz possible. Any suggestions and comments people?

Here lies the tale of my return trip from PDX to Oakland. As always, not enough pictures. ALso, feedback always appreciated. ^_^ enjoy! With baited breath, I watched a diminutive QPDRV pass by with naught a single rideable car. Closed boxes, lumber racks so full someone had to use...

if your boots dont keep your feet warm enough this idea seems like it would work. the idea is to take one of those windshield sun shades and cut some pieces out the same size as your boot insoles. put them in the bottom of your shoes and youre done.

man I feel like I am struggling. I am wondering if anyone else has this problem in the winter. i'm not sure how much the weather can affect your mood but the depression seem to follow a schedule.. also holidays, unpleasant anniversaries etc... just a bummer in general. anyone else relate/

For personal reasons and because I'm tight on fundz, I refuse to stay at the shelter house and use couch surfing.com for a place to sleep during da winter cold nitez. Where are the best places to squat/sleep during winter cold nitez in the city? im open-minded to all suggestions. Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone is in the slabs right now. Never been there and Im looking at coming down to SoCal desert for a month or so to escape this terrible Oregon winter. Can you still swim in that canal, and is the hot spring still soakable? Also wondering what the Day Labor work is like in...
