Are there any resources for crazy people like me Yoopers that do winter hiking and winter camping? We got our first hot tent and a stove, and I have a lot of strong opinions on footwear and such as a lifelong snowshoer and hunter. While I’m here, is anyone else collecting multiple “sets” of camping gear? One set for car camping, one set for hike-in, one set for winter camping? Some things overlap, but it’s surprisingly few.

Depends on the activity, but my go-to is the Muck Arctic Sport. They might be heavier than you need, and you might not be after the waterproofing that they come with, as they’re much more impermeable than other regular winter boots. I live in Michigan, though, so we have regular heavy snow, and all kinds of water bodies to contend with. e: saw you were talking bike trip, and I would not recommend Mucks. They have very low ankle flexibility, and wouldn’t be suited for your needs. I’d probably go with a set of Keen winter hiking boots, or a similar contender. Keen seems to be a baseline for a lot of folks I work with for winter boots with tons of grip that also don’t weigh a lot. Dr. Lunchables fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Jan 8, 2022 |

My wife and I are trying to camp at each of the 101 state parks in Michigan, and I was hoping to record my thoughts and maybe offer a review on each of them. Would it be cool to crank out a thread here? In each main post I'd be hitting these items:
Is there anything else someone would want to know about camping at a specific park?

Oracle posted:bug situation. Ticks are loving INSANE down here right now. Mind bogglingly bad. I picked about two dozen of four different species off me and my kids/friends at the campsite after a hike, including the Lone Star tick. I’ve been mentioning bugs and recommended seasons for all my reviews so far in the “warnings” section. It was the perfect year for ticks, unfortunately. Cool wet spring, and it hasn’t dried out yet.
