05/14/2014 09:57AM Another opportunity for you to consider is volunteering to help out at the Beargrease sled dog race in January. Or just camp out and watch. Sawbill checkpoint always has some people camping out and watching or helping with the race. It can be a pretty social event. |

04/28/2014 07:00PM I have a 4-season tent that I just bought this past winter. I just have a very basic pocket rocket stove. I have all the proper gear, including Wintergreen clothing. I would really like to get to know some mushers, that will be a near-future goal to obtain some sled doggies, that will be so exciting! |

04/28/2014 06:16PM I've attending the Winter Camping Symposium the last two years and truly enjoyed the experience. You meet a lot of very friendly, interesting people and have the opportunity to mingle and get to know folks. Most participants are camping in tents and there are a great number of interesting seminars and workshops. There's hot tenters, cold tenters, dog mushers, hunters, you name it. You can buy your meals, which I recommend and that's a great time to meet and get to know people. I'm sure you would meet up with others who would have similar interests to yours.

04/28/2014 06:15PM I just got into winter camping this year and really had a blast! What do you have for a tent and stove? What is your location... I could give you some ideas for starter campsites in the UP of Michigan. |

04/28/2014 04:16PM That is perfect, thank you! Even though it JUST stopped snowing recently, I am looking forward to the winter, and meeting more people to share in my excitement :) |

04/27/2014 02:39PM Hey thanks! I will make sure and do that. Winter camping is definitely not for the faint of heart, but I'm looking forward to next winter already! |

04/27/2014 08:42AM It is indeed difficult to find winter camping compatriots. Many folks just look at you like you're crazy. However, there are a surprising number of us nuts out there. I see you're from Wisconsin. Check out the Winter Camping Symposium held every October. You'll find other potential winter camping buddies there. |

04/26/2014 02:48PM Hi all! I am trying to plan a winter camping trip, with started training in the summer, and am having difficulty finding people who share the same passion for exploring the great wild North especially younger people. I figured this would be a good place to ask, what's a good way to gather together some people? |
