Last night we decided we needed a little adventure, Rexton and Kolton and myself decided to camp out while Cam slept inside to keep Pres and Mom safe. We cooked up some hotdogs over the fire pit, to start our night off. After dinner Rexton and Kolton got all squared away in the 2 person tent while I set up my tarp to sleep under. Thought this would be the perfect situation to push the limits of my new 30 degree down bag, and test out the tarp and bivy before the real thing. From the weather forecast I was expecting just some rain maybe just a skif of snow. But at around 3 am I woke up to my tarp sagging and almost touching my face, the snow was dumping and it was wet and heavy. I got up and adjusted the guy lines and knocked off the snow and tried to go back to sleep but had to keep waking up every 20 min or so to knock the snow off. Finally called it quits at 5 am and broke down my tarp and took it in the house. After that I checked on Rexton and Kolton who both said they wanted to stay as they had no idea that it even snowed. The four season tent and zero degree down bags they were in was doing the trick for them. So I headed in the house to catch a little sleep. At 7 am I went out to get the boys up who were sleeping all nice and cozy. All in all we had a great time and I got to put some new equipment to the test.
