If I received a euro for every time someone told me that winter is a "wet & miserable", "dull", "dismal" or even a "hopeless" time of the year to be outdoors...I'd be a lot better off financially!
What's kind of ironic, is that years ago I often had the same bleak attitude towards winter - until I actually started regularly camping in winter.
Was I wrong! Yes, winter is obviously a colder, wetter & darker season (especially among the more northerly and southerly latitudes of the globe) but there is still tremendous merit in exposing yourself and your bushcraft skills to winter.
Learn some of the lessons I've picked up over the years from camping & bushcrafting in winter.
There really is no season like it...
