It might not always be the time of the season for loving, but it can always be the time of the season for camping. High quality 4 season tents ensure that one can always go camping no matter what the weather is saying. Some people like to camp in the warm weather when there is no fear of hypothermia or frost bite. However, there are drawbacks to only camping out in the summer weather.

To begin with, bugs abound during warm weather days. Even though frost bite is not a concern in a Pennsylvania June, West Nile virus and Lyme disease certainly are. In addition to this, you have to worry about poisonous plants. Poison Oak and Poison Ivy love to wreak havoc on vacations. Dangerous animals are also a concern during winter. In the winter, bears will crawl into a hole or a cave and go to sleep. You can walk through an entire forest in the winter months without ever coming across a bear. Conversely, bears are out in great force during the warmer periods of the year. A bear with newborns in tow can be very dangerous to even the toughest campers on the planet.

Most people will recognize that winter weather camping is much different than summer weather camping. In the winter you don't have to worry about bugs or plants. Humans tend to make Christmas trees out of the only non-dormant plant of the winter season. Bugs are also non-existent in the snowy months of winter. I've never had to do a tick check after playing in the snow, and you probably haven't had to either.

I will admit that the cold weather season does have its shortcomings. To begin with, freezing is never a good event during a fun filled trip. Of course, you can easily ensure that you don't freeze to death during your adventure. All you will need to beat the cold is a good selection of 4 season tents, a warm sleeping bag, and appropriate clothing.

You'll also need to eat more during a winter camping trip. When folks are trying to keep warm their bodies naturally burn more calories. This being said, most of us eat too much anyway, so the extra calories burned will be a welcome addition to the trip.

Another issue can be finding clean water to drink. We all know that water is essential to all life on earth. While you might not think so, water is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. Getting clean drinking water in the winter while camping only takes a few preparations. It should be obvious that getting water from a frozen river will be difficult, if not impossible.

Some tips to get around this is to bring pots to boil snow or to take some sort of ice pick with you. Attack the ice with your pick and make it yield the clean drinking water over to you.
