Winter camping and winter backpacking can be a risky activity. It's important to be prepared through appropriate planning and gear. Here are some of the things I did to prepare for a pretty extreme winter blizzard that was forecast for the beginning of November in the Canadian Rockies.
Make sure you are staying within your abilities and experience when out there! The things I talked about in this video are only a snippet of the gear and planning for this trip.

Man i love how you keep talking and letting us know everything possible about the camp and all your materials.... sometimes i do like the silent videos but this made me feel like you were welcoming me to join the adventure with you
Hit mute and you got both ways then.
I have the Mountain Hardwear bag and its really comfortable and holds a lot of stuff which is necessary because I backpack in extreme cold weather (-20F is normal for me in the Winter as I live in Alaska)I am a 5'5' 140 pound 60 year old who is carrying sometimes 50 lbs of gear so the pack has to be comfortable, and now that I'm an elder, I use trekking poles. I am using the Exped Downmatt (7+ R value), I blow it up with a Fextail pump and I usually rock a NEMO Kunai. NEMO makes their tents intuitive to set up. Its hard to set up a tent in gloves and its pitch black out by 3pm here. In the coldest conditions I use Marmot CWM -40 bag which is comfortable at about around 0 to -10 F. I only wear Merino baselayers to bed. My boots are in a plastic garbage bag with The larger Hot Hands one in each boot. It claims up to 18 hours, I get 9 to 10. I also have the cell phone and any battery things in a bag with a Hot Hands when not on my person. Cold kills batteries. (Thats why people plug their cars in here. Same thing in places like North Dakota) I use Esbit or Coughlin dry fuel and that rectangular Esbit pot and stove in the Winter because it lights up every time. Lighter than other fuel but stinky. I will boil snow for making clean water. The best part of Winter camp, bears are in torpor and less creeps out in the woods. We have tent pirates around the Anchorage area because there are about 2,000 homeless people. I have loved snow and Winter all my life. Thanks! Love your channel. Much thanks!
Grew up in Boy Scouts in the early 80's- we didn't have $250 sleeping bag underpads, $700 sleeping bags or $350+ map watches.
We froze like men lol
I'm really glad I don't have to freeze like back in the day. haha. I'm completely okay owning that I like being comfortable and warm on the trail!
Watching your older video's. Man, your channel should be blowing up, it's so awesome!❤
Please cover more about the vapor barrier on the tent, because when I was watching, I was thinking anywhere your stuff was touching the sides, it was going to be wet & frozen in the morning.
It is best to be prepared not matter how short the hike or how wonderful the conditions are to begin with...always need to be ready for the unexpected...thanks so much for explaining your planning and gear...so important as more and more of us beginners are heading outdoor...Great content!
Definitely! My kit wouldn't change too much whether there was a blizzard forecast or not!
How I camp in the winter...step one, plan and pack.step two drive out. Step three, check into a nice hotel!
😆 👍...
This gave ne a belly laugh!
Lol 😂 💖🏞️
That's okay...no judgements ;)
Your missing the part where you get the money tree to grow
When I was a kid, my babysitter used to put bread bags on our feet so we didn't get wet in our snow suits
Good talk bringing up the idea of an "Emergency Azimuth/Direction/landmark" in order to navigate if everything else goes to shit.
Great vid!
i love being out in the snow!!! YEP iv been called crazy for wanting to camp in the snow too!! but you dont have to worry bout very many people wanting to be around you then either!!!
Watching this in the warmth of the house while it is snowing outside
I like he's got a "worse case scenario" plan.
Yeah but what about a worst worst case scenario plan?
@@BitterrootBackpacking you mean like if he is about to get eaten by a bear and doesn't know what prayer to say to make sure his soul gets taken to heaven?
Amazing video. Great info and content. Gunna have to watch tons more loved the info. Keep it up and go camping 🏕!!!
This is great, thanks! Just did my first snow hike of the year in Yosemite - no big deal cold-wise but snow is snow!
Guy line tip, try taking the guy lines in the back or front wrap around the closes pole then stake , makes for a much more secure guy
Your tent looks like a smiling face! When you opened it - the "windows" look like two eyes and lips! Go to "6:57 ' - It's so cool!
I'm loving this channel, we may not get such extreme cold here in the UK (-6C coldest camp) but a lot of the tips still ring true once you get sub zero temps. I've been trying to get to Scotland for a hike and camp, so a lot of stuff here will be relevant if it gets cold and windy in the Cairngorms. Good work Justin.
Thank you so much for posting these videos of your trips and gear reviews. Very inspiring and informative. And thank God we finally have a local Calgarian CZcamsr in this category.
Cool tent - I love the vestibule - and at 1kg it's a winner - great vid
What a beautiful view... Looking forward more Campings...😊
Happy to find a Calgary outdoor CZcamsr, I'll be watching your stuff.
Tx for sharing and hello from Romania.I hike a lot in winter in Carpatians mountains .Cheers
I've read many stories about those mountains kind of good to hear someone who has actually been there! Carpatians means what? Sorry I Googled the shit out of this and it only comes back to fictional crap! Always twists it to Carpathian vampire bullshit! Please help me!
@@Water-Proof This are the mountains.
You can find a lot of shepards whit aninals and you can buy cheese from them and drink fermented milk (jintita) .Also (bulz) meal is delicios in this mountains. Cheers (noroc)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpathian_Mountains
@@Water-ProofFrom Wikipedia: Possibly from the name of the Carpi, an ancient, probably Dacian, tribe living in the eastern Carpathian region of what is now Romania and the Moldova region. The name Carpates may ultimately be from the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)ker-, (compare Albanian karpë (“rock”), also Proto-Slavic *skala (“rock, cliff”)), perhaps via a Dacian cognate which meant “mountain”, “rock”, or “rugged” (compare Proto-Germanic *skarpaz (whence sharp), Lithuanian kar~pas (“cut, hack, notch”), Latvian cìrpt (“to shear, clip”)). Compare also archaic Polish karpa (“rugged irregularities, underwater obstacles/rocks, rugged roots or trunks”). Alternatively, the name may come from Proto-Indo-European *kwerp (“to turn”) (whence warp and Greek καρπός (karpós, “wrist”), perhaps referring to the way the mountain range bends or veers in an L-shape.
Amazing tent. I have the Choguri 3p. Absolutely love it.
Fun. Winter snow camping is alien to me being in the desert, love learning.
Me too! That white stuff is completely Greek to me! How much fun would this be to camp in!!
Nice trip there. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
Thank you so much for these great videos! Love your channel Justin :D
Hey Justin, I'm a youtube junkie... with that being said, I've watched thousands and thousands of outdoor videos, reviews, etc, etc, etc..... But whenever I think about youtube outdoor gear videos, I think of you. Good job.
FYI, love my decathlon forclaz, great tip from other your other videos.
I love hiking and camping. I have only gone camping in the summer. I am about to go in my first freeze/sleet camp and hiking adventure. Your video has been by far the most educational one so far. 👍
"It's only good to -20..." you got my sub with that line alone :)
I've never camped that cold. The worst I've experienced is the mid-teens in Yellowstone. Wasn't that bad. Getting out of the bag in the morning was always 'fun'. Thanks for sharing!
The morning are tough! When solo, I usually just get up and go but will start a fire and hang out a bit if in a group. Nothing like a nice winter morning!
@@JustinOutdoors what is the name of this lovely tunes in first few minutes of video?
Not much better than the notification of a Justin upload! I can’t wait for more of these winter videos!
Highlight of the week! Am-I-Right!
Always a great day when you post a new video !!!
There's something about cold weather survival that always fascinates me I myself in a motorcycle rider and I have ridden at 80 mph and 30° weather and heated vests comfortable pants heated gloves and I can go a long long time with that stuff
I have a Tenshi as well. Good to know it will perform well this winter. I still need to seal some of the non waterproof areas still. Thanks for the vid!
Good info on the heating coil on the stove during cold weather. Nice outdoor gear!
I was thinking the same thing. I was very impressed with the cooking setup. 👍🏿😊
How i envy you setting out on these great adventures...
Burrrrrrr
You know exactly what you are doing. Love watching your videos.
Thanks for the information
Sheila Vancouver BC🇨🇦
One thing I used to do for moisture in my shoes was use scuba dry suit socks.
Very amazing adventure. Keep foward
Awesome! I enjoy every one of your videos!
Great Video Brother! Very relaxing and calming! Thank you! God Bless
Awesome video brother!
I bought the AMG75 pack, love it. Best expedition pack going...
Very cool 😎!!!!!
Love the places you go. Thanks for bringing us.
Here in Houston winter camping means high 40s. And yes we think it’s cold as hell.
I hope y’all were ok during this storm!
Great video - love the walk through!
That's my kinda camping! Great video!
First 30 seconds in the video and I’m ready to watch the whole video!!!!!
Finally an actual blizzard. Most peoples blizzard videos are just snowfall hahaa
Well, the forecast was for one... haha
@@JustinOutdoors yea maybe not the 2 feet of snow you were looking for XD
He didn’t mention that foam sit pad he’s on at 10 minutes. A must bring
What a cool shelter!! Love it!
Thanks for the video..
Great vid, Justin 👍👍
I really don’t care for mediocre weather. It might as well be perfect or, an absolutely nuking blizzard. Love it! Still working on refining my cold weather backpacking gear.
I'm the same! haha
Love the content about camping/hiking in the snow. I live in the Midwest of the US and winter has been knocking on the door here.
Just found this. Thanks.
Very helpful thank you
Great idea on the bag in before the boots.. i too have extremely sweaty feet, and that part of your video was informative! As well as the condensation curtain and the cut-out sleeping bag sleeves as i get hot easily and often needed my arms outside my sleeping bags..
Great video! Dude that sleeping bag is sweet. I really need to check that out.
Great , come to Vermont
Justin you’re the man, thank you for all the knowledge. Love the videos 🤙🏼
Wow absolutely amazing I love this extreme weather camping
Nice to see I'm not the only fool in the back country during these conditions ;-). I laughed as almost same tent, I use the Nemo Kanai and also describe it as my winter bombproof. Great channel and hello from YYC!
Misery loves company, haha
Great video! I love winter backpacking. I just had my new Nemo Kunai 2P out this past weekend and it's going to be a great "ultra light" 4 season tent at 4 pounds. They make quality kit.

Excellent VBL socks advice. Novice winter campers need that info. Please do a video on VBLs and removable boot insulation.
*For a very good boot VBL I use a 3 mm thick closed cell, seam sealed divers' sock (US Divers brand - formerly Aqua Lung - are the best with Right and Left shaped socks and sealed seams) over a thin poly liner (1 liner per day of trekking).
*At night I remove the divers' sock VBL, turn it inside-out to dry a bit while I let my feet dry as well. The wet, stinky liner goes into a ZipLoc freezer bag. Then I don a dry poly liner and my heavy wool "sleep socks" or insulated booties. The VBL socks AND my insulating boot liners go into the foot of my mummy bag.
*In the morning I put on my VBL socks, put the liners in my boots and I'm ready for WARM feet. Yeah, you do need a size Long sleeping bag for storage and my bag was made that way on purpose. LL Bean knows their stuff.
Nice video. Thanks! Couldn’t quite picture that vapor barrier in your tent. Maybe next trip get some footage of it zipped in place. Also don’t you want to use trees as a wind break? Any idea how to decide what is a safe tree vs unsafe and proximity of distance away. I would have thought those low, short trees are pretty robust. But couldn’t see around as to what and how many had already fallen in the area. Some trees in certain geos might be your ‘friend’? Perhaps all these addressed in future videos.
I'll definitely get some footage of the condensation curtain down the road. It basically just hangs off the ceiling and acts as a curtain between your head-space and the lower 4/5ths of the tent.
For trees, I look at their size, exposure to edge-effect (wind will hit them harder if they are the first trees after an open area), and health. Where I was, the wind was coming from a direction that kept me pretty sheltered, so I tucked myself near some shorter trees.
I really enjoyed this, much more than a majority of “camping” videos. While I enjoy silence sometimes to immerse in the moment, I love your explanations of gear and your thought process. You’re not a “survivalist” trying to prove to the world you’re tough. You’re real-world, using real-world gear in tough environments. I respect that because it’s all relatable. Anyway, great content and thanks for putting it out there!
Great video 👍
Thanks for mentioning that bag size , I'm trying to decide between a 65 or 75L for a winter bag.
Great video. Very impressive set up you have. Well done 👍
im going to get one of those sleeping bags with leg holes, and just wear it all the time
wow Explored amazing
Really enjoyed this! Very well done. Looking forward to getting out into the winter mountain air after being inspired by your video🤠
Anyone who's over 30 & from Canada knows all about those plastic bags over the feet. Cheap & simple.
Young norwegian soldiers know too! :D
Stilez growing up in Minnesota we know all about that too!
Is this Mt. Romulus Backcountry Campground? It looks a lot like the Elbow River backcountry.
If you haven't already, you should do a video where you follow Threepoint Creek to the huge canyon just east of Forgetmenot Mountain. I haven't done it myself, but I've seen pictures and the canyon is spectacular.
Correct area! That's heading up to Big Elbow campground. I actually meant to do a loop around 3 point to to that canyon and then back up to the Elbow River. I might still do it as a winter trip (will have to check on avy risk) or next summer!
Loving the winter videos good job. Heading out in December for a winter trip myself.
Wow~Great video!!!
Well, not everything about the CZcams algorithm is .... (you know), it led me to this site for the first time. And, I'm glad it did. I really enjoyed the vid. Justin seems to know what he's talking about; knows his equipment, and loves the outdoors. I'll be back for more. Just a suggestion (not a complaint! I'm new here) I'd like to see more on the set up and break down. Really important in these conditions. His insight into the cookstove and gas was brilliant as well as setting expectations on winter camping vs. other seasons was spot on. THANKS!
I'll definitely have some more setup and take down content! Probably focused on winter as, like you said, it is a bit more important in winter conditions.
Brilliant video! 12 hours sleep! I don’t get that in my bed...in my house...with the heating cranked up! 😂
Damn, don’t really know how I came across the channel but awesome content man. Im a fan. Keep it up
A nice video. Consider adding a couple of techniques. Heat rocks by the fire(not too hot) and put them in shoes and socks to help them dry. A Nalgene bottle(or rock) can be warmed up, wrapped in a towel and brought to bed if you are cold. When expecting a storm, I like to put my poncho over my tent to give the top a bit of protection. After only 40+ years my Army poncho has disintegrated. I recently tried the River Country poncho(its only $10) and was very pleased with it. When out in cold weather I keep a Heatsheet Emergency blanket in my coat pocket incase I fall. Good Luck, Rick
I like video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
great video bro!
great video
Nicely done my friend, and good sound advice to. Bravo buddy.
Great video man ! What an awesome tent, great investment. Thanks for sharing brother !
I love all the gadgets you brought for this camping trip. But my thing is there is a huge road cut through the trees, if you get lost in this area I really don't think you should go out camping.
When we did week long camping with my scout leaders we all carried compasses and maps and we had a least 2-3 GPS with modern technology finding your way home is a lot easier
Always bring extra batteries lol 😆
"We" call that cold as snot. My first winter shoes were converse but two pair of socks with a bread sack in between. Gotta keep em dry in between but a lifesaver.
Reminds me of one winter near Mosquito Creek
My goodness! You are a brave man! 🥶🥶
Real nice "blizzard" there Justin.... and you call yourself a Canadian... couldn't even conjure up a good snow storm **scoffs in poutine** haha
That condensation curtain though! Love that idea! I wonder if there'd be a way for me to jimmy rig something Like that in my tent with some tyvek or something. Love that idea!
I did the Canadian Blizzard Dance and everything! I think it is easily a jimmy-able thing - maybe using tenacious tape to stick on some loops for hooks to go through?
@@JustinOutdoors did you wave the mystical stick of hockey in the middle of the maple syrup mapletagon and everything?!
We need to get to the bottom of this!
Thanks for these couple of snow camping videos, subscribed. Really helps while we're still waiting for the first snow over here! That Nemo tent looks great, but it's a bit weird that it is a single wall tent considering it's for winter use as well, right? Condensation curtain is a bit of a half measure.
Welcome! Most mountaineering tents are single walled to make them lighter and easier to set up during crazy conditions. Definitely a trade off, but the curtain is surprisingly effective and potentially a more efficient system than collecting all that condensation on the inside of a fly in a double walled system.
@@JustinOutdoors I was thinking that the curtain was extremely effective, and it makes a big difference to the equation of both weight and condensation.
I'm impressed with the tent. 👏🏽🏕️🏔️
Looks like a nice public spot, not too remote. Still there are risks, so please stay safe.
Have a look at the SlingFin Portal tent.
Love your video and just subscribed. Thank you for sharing
Great video as usual and I really like the comprehensive gear list.
How do you find the Trek 900 Down Jacket? I know its not going to be waterproof but is it water resistant? the seams etc? How about pack size for fitting it into a back pack?
Thanks Justin.
The trek 900 will shed snow but I wouldn't use it in rain. The water resistant shoulders would help with wet snow. It packs down really small actually! You can pack it into the chest pocket.
Very adventurous good tips
Glad you liked the trailtopia food, I eat alot of their stuff. The deserts are freakin amazing!!! Great video Justin!!
I'll have to try out their deserts!
Some very cool tips in there 👍
Great video. Thanks for the tips.
We have had no snow here and I had an overnight hike planned for tomorrow. But we just got a big dump of snow overnight. I'm still going through. This will be my first winter hike. Very excited for it. 🙂
Have fun out there!
@@JustinOutdoors Thanks I will.
