Winter camping in a snow storm! I tagged onto a trip that Johnny planned at the last minute. The temps have been near 0c in NS so we have water and fortunately it didn't ice over while we were out.
The goal of this trip was just to get out into the woods and cook some good food and see how our gear can withstand a snow storm. The forecast was for about 15-25 cm of snow... I would say it was in the area of 15cm. It never really dumped down, but was sustained for most of the trip. I took the tent and slept amazingly with my Nemo Tensor and Hammock Gear TQ... it was only -2c over night.
Johnny was staying for 2 nights but I only had time for one. The wind on the lake was worse than I had expected, and being on the second largest lake in NS (mainland), I was a little worried about the return trip solo. I found out that my leave from work was cancelled for the return trip day (had to work that night), so I decided to leave extra early in order to hopefully get back home and not be storm stayed.
The meal was far better than I would have imagined. Bacon wrapped chicken breast stuffed with brie, with rice, peppers and mushroom. The brie and bacon grease ended up making a broth and it all came out a bit like a stew in the cast iron oven. I wish I could have got better video of it, but it was dark and steamy when it came to filming it, but you may get an idea of how it came out.
Johnny did make it out the following day and said the wind dropped a bit for him as well.
As always, thanks for watching!
