SOLO Winter Camping -15°

This short trip was a nice break from the daily winter experience. There is something different about the wintertime when you are intentionally outside and appropriately dressed for the experience. Dare I say it might be lovely?
I camp and hike in and around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I'm also building and enjoying an off- grid cabin in the woods with my partner Cory and the kiddos Nora and Ethan! I love sharing the journey with you!

A nice experience foundation to build on. ty for sharing.

[@jackf1557]

nice video. Makes me miss northern MN

[@moosespeak6140]

Awesome video. It's how I live everyday. Beats the city anyday and it's very rewarding. I read comments and it's hard to believe how soft humans have gotten. Good for you.on living and not just surviving. Sincerely from Southwest Montana

Looks enjoyable!!

[@MikeBarryBees]

Cool video showing camping in the snow. Made it to Gunflint Lodge last month from Louisiana. Had to mention that I watch your videos to our sleigh driver😁😁

[@jodimiddendorf]

Lovely! The entire Gunflint trail is such a cool place. :)

[@suresunshine-danielle8049]

I think you're right about this winter being more gray. Maybe not literally, but I've definitely been struggling with motivation and energy this winter, more than the last few winters.

[@flavia7357]

Nice video. Really need a place to relax... Wish I could go camping like this😻

[@banningrandomaccsftw]

Hi, lovely videos 😊 Do you hunt? I think many of us would love some hunting videos from an outdoors lady.

[@joanntucker2742]

You sure are brave, love your video and the snow!👍😍👍

[@coryzwilling7889]

It's not all about comfort😅

😂😂 Come with me next time :) :) :)

You’re so inspiring Jodi!! I want to winter but have not worked up the courage yet. But I am thinking about doing an overnight camp at Glacial Lakes State Park next month! I’m itching to be outside in nature again sooooo bad! 🏕️

[@jodimiddendorf]

I had the itch too. Once I had the idea in my head to go camping without the big hot tent, I couldn't stop thinking about it until I tried. Glacial Lakes would be a fun one. I think they have cabins there too? If I'm not mistaken. I have been wanting to try staying in a cabin at a state park in the cold weather. Or a yurt!

[@overmanfarms]

@@jodimiddendorf They do have cabins! Every time I looked up cabins at the nearer state parks on the days that work for me, they were already take. 😑 Same with the yurts! Glendalough has yurts, but I could of swore another state park has some too… or I’m dreaming one does haha Staying in a yurt is high on the bucket list 🤙🏻 I thought Glacials would be a good test run! Although now it’s in my head to get that little cook stove and kettle you have! Haha

[@patriciacolie3895]

Suggestion…. Get a used cheap canoe to fit all things and it should be easy to pull on snow! 💁‍♀️why not?

[@jodimiddendorf]

haha this is something I could see myself doing. I need another excuse to get another canoe..

[@patriciacolie3895]

@@jodimiddendorf you could haul a lot and turn it upside down to cover other things while camping… multi use…. It’s a no brainer

[@eggzfrags]

I’m curious if you’re sleeping pad and sleeping bags stayed dry all night. I’ve always wondered if my summer tent could work in the winter

[@jodimiddendorf]

Good Question! My tent floor did not get wet. My sleeping bag and sleeping pads were dry. If it was around or above 32 Fahrenheit it might have been a different story. Not Sure.

[@eggzfrags]

@@jodimiddendorf good to know thank you! I also live in Minnesota but every time I go winter camping it’s usually in my pop-up ice house that doesn’t have the flooring part of the tent.

[@tallulahdejon7113]

Camping by yourself really and truly how safe is it really ? maybe it's a cultural thing,. but black women we don't do stuff like go camping by OURSELVES, unless we're packing a Wesson , other than that there's going to have to be a door with a lock somewhere? Although it's beautiful to camp alone soul searching etc. but there's people that hang out or live in the woods and looking for a Crime of opportunity to victimize a women. It's equivalent enticing a bear by pouring barbecue sauce over your body and serve yourself up to a bear

[@moosespeak6140]

Fear much?😂😂🤣

[@jodimiddendorf]

I can understand this fear to an extent. However, I am not going to require myself to have someone else present at all times. I am okay with the risk of human or nature danger while alone. I do things to protect myself and never share my location or plans with people I do not know well. But there is risk in a city, in farm country, in the woods, everywhere really… And I can accept that. To me, the risk of being alone in nature is worth it 100%. If you feel differently then cool, I hope you have some awesome people to camp with. ☺️
