Howdy,

I need some pointers on what gear to get for snow camping. I have a zero degree bag, but I haven't really been happy with its warmth. The thing was $40 bucks and it packs down to nothing so that's why I've been using it.

The only things I think I really need other than better clothes are snow shoes and umm... like pants that won't get wet. After coming back from the mountains today, that's really all that was my trouble.

Both sleeping bags and snow shoes are dang expensive. Maybe I can make my own snow shoes cheaply some how, but a small warm bag will probably just cost a bunch.


I think that's about it, but could you guys tell me a little of what you bring specially for snow camping (gear/clothes etc). Up to your thighs snow camping I mean. :-)
