Hello everyone, I'm Bob, also known as "Snowman". I'm a snow camper, I love everything about snow camping. I'm one of the founding members of the International Snow Camping Association - ISCA . I go out camping in the snow any time I have a chance to. There's no need to stay home just because there's snow on the ground, camping in the winter is in my opinion even better than in the summer. I made this website to share some of my knowledge with anybody who's interested in getting into snow camping. I hope you will like my site. |

3. Very warm clothes 4. Lightweight woodstove 5. Ski goggles 6. Metal sheet 7. Tarp |
