My previous overnight ski and snowshoe adventures involved an overabundance of cold, dark tent time. When morning finally came, the interior of my crisp nylon tent released a shower of frost onto my sleeping bag. The experience always left me wondering why I bothered camping in the winter at all. The Morrones had similar winter camping experiences until Dave stumbled upon The Snowwalker's Companion, a book first published in 2000 by Maine guides Garrett and Alexandra Conover. Instead of enduring nylon tents, overloaded backpacks, and long, cold nights huddled in frosty sleeping bags, the Conovers adapted winter camping techniques that had been used for traversing the frozen waterways of the North Woods by everyone from Indigenous Ojibwa and Cree to trappers to the mail-runners of the early 1900s. |
