I have no idea how to winter camp. Is this a special tent for winter camping? It looks pretty thin. Is the snow piled up around the edges on purpose? Does that seal the tent better?
There are special tents for it! This is not one of them though, the coldest it got was around -15°C, so this three-season tent was just fine. The snow is piled to stop the air from going under the fly, so that the air trapped between the fly and the tent itself acts as an insulator.
That’s a great idea.
