1. Visit your chosen camping site in advance! Even if it is not your first time going camping in that place. The different weather conditions might surprise you if you are not prepared enough. Some trails and terrains might be too dangerous during winter. Wild animals might be more active during this season. Visiting the place beforehand and asking the common campers and nearby locals about your chosen place during winter would not hurt! So do not be shy to interview some folks!

2. Never camp alone! If you are used to going on solo camping, do not dare to do it alone in an unfamiliar setting. A lot of circumstances are different from what you are used to. If an emergency occurs, you might not be able to call for help since winter is prone to heavy snow storms - a fact. It is more advisable to go on camping with a group of friends, family or a whole group of wanderlusts. You can try to do it alone only if you already know the dos and don't - not told, but experienced and shown.

3. Do not bring your pet! Winter is not for everyone. And our pets are also not an exception. You might have pets who love the cold season like husky, but if you plan to go n camping in a mountain for the first time - please leave your pet at home. A first-time traveler's worst nightmare is to be caught in an accident and to have no one to call! Accidents which you could have been prepared for but weren't able to do so because you didn't expect them! Camping during a different season you are used to is prone to a lot of unprecedented moments! So if you cannot handle yourself, do not drag anyone even your beloved pets! Do not worry much because there is always a next time!

That could be things that will keep you warm - from shelter to clothes, to food! Essentials!
