Once you go on a camping trip, you will be able to think about nature and how to protect and preserve the beautiful sites that you will see while camping. Winter camping brings an entirely new element to the activity of camping.
There are some things that may crawl inside your sleeping bag, but you will also want to take some time to look a the gear each time before use so that you can make sure that you are safe. Things to bear in mind include rapid changes in the weather the weather may be fine and sunny, although cool, when you leave to hike to your destination and within minutes a winter storm can blow up. In some areas it rains plenty, so you have to be prepared.
Make a list of all necessary supplies and check off the list as you pack to ensure nothing is forgotten. There are some sport-wool fabrics that are used in long johns, next a warm layer of clothing that may be a fleece type material and finally a quick-drying outer layer from a material like nylon or goretex. If you are just taking an overnight in a place that is easy to get to, mild, and close to civilization, most things won't matter.
Slow down the pace of your life and take time to enjoy the great outdoors. Chances are, you'll never go back to heavy socks and boots if you get blisters.
