Don’t you hate it when you have a camping trip planned and the forecast calls for bad weather? Have you ever canceled a camping trip because it was too cold or snowy? I don’t have that problem anymore. Last November I decided to go to hunting camp with some of my friends. We made our plans several weeks ahead of time so we’d have plenty of time to get our camping gear together. As opening day of deer season approached, I kept an eye on the Weather Channel and things didn’t look very promising. The forecast was for a cold and snowy week but we knew it wouldn’t stop us from hunting down our prey.

The fact is I had canceled too many hunting trips in the past and recently purchased a four season family camping tent and some warm sleeping bags to prevent it from happening again. The camping tent sleeps eight people so I knew there would be plenty of room for the four of us and our gear. I also knew we’d be warm and dry because the four season camping tent is made to conquer all kinds of bad weather.

As the weekend got closer, I packed all my gear knowing that we’d be going camping as planned. Not only that but hunters without the best camping gear would be staying home. Fewer hunters in the forest would mean better hunting for us. Also, doesn’t it seem like the deer know exactly when the season starts? Well, maybe because of the lousy weather they wouldn’t hide quite so carefully.

The weekend finally came and we packed our camping equipment in the car and headed for the woods. All of a sudden I realized that we left the picnic backpacks with the food for our first day in it. We don’t barbecue on Friday because by the time we get to camp and set up our tent, it’s too late to bother cooking.  After the first night though, we take out our barbecue tools and grill up dinner on our portable grill.

Finally we were on the road. I couldn’t wait to get to hunting camp and set up our camping equipment before the snow and wind started. For me nothing is better than a weekend in the woods with my best buddies and the anticipation of the hunt to come. Stay tuned and I’ll tell you how we did on our winter weather hunting trip.
