Re: Anybody snowed in?
How many can say they camped in the snow? I do feel like it shouldn't have been called off. That is the fun of seeing if you can survive LOL. If only one person shows up then it was a camp. I Went on another pack in camp at Whitlows another time. He had a lean to up on a ridge at his place. Whitlow and some others came up to the lean to but would not camp. I was the only one that would. We planed it an I was not going let a little cold stop me. I had two blankets and Chevy.Before dark I gathered enought wood for the night and built a fire pit with rocks piled up behind to reflect the heat and had the wood within reach of my bed so I would not have to get up. It got down to almost 0 that night. I made it fine and was not cold. I can now say I did it and I am a stronger for it. THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER. LOL When I went Elk hunting out in Utah. we were dressed primitive and road horses about 7 miles up in the moutains 9000 ft. There was 8" to 10"of snow on the ground. We cleaned off the snow as best we could and set up my 12x12 diamond and build a fire in front. Right before dark a herd of elk walked right by camp. I could not shoot one the season did not open till the next day. We followed them and knew where they were. The next morning we went after them but couldn't get a good shot. We stayed there 3 days then moved the camp to another place where after a week I finally got one. Camping in the snow like Mt. Men, Hell we were Mt. Men. Eat n Elk. Those camps and times are an experience I will never forget. The fair weather camps you will forget but the others you will remember .
