Tis the season

The fall camping season is here again so its looks like it time to break out the heavier gear, when you camp in areas prone to snow having good tarps is a essential to keep you equipment dry. I suggest looking at the seven day forecast for the area your going into and make sure you take extra clothing and blankets in case the weather turns nasty. There are some great activities that only fall and winter can make available like taking a hike in snow shoes or riding a sled. You would be well advised to bring a lot of "hot hands" warming packs to ensure you are warm and dry enough.
Your sleeping bags are a crucial part of your camping equipment so please make sure you have a bag rated down to the correct temp. Bringing extra fuel for your stoves,heaters and lanterns is a good idea as well.
