No sooner had the weather wonks started intoning phrases like “Arctic Blast,” “Deep Freeze,” “Coldest Weather of the Winter,” and “Dangerous Wind Chills,” than the emails started flying as my buddy David and I eagerly began planning an overnight to test some new cold-weather camping gear for EasternSlopes.com. You need real cold to adequately test sleeping bags and pads rated to zero or below.
We were being promised daytime highs in the single digits, nighttime lows below zero. Perfect! Wish we had a month of it, but you just know it’s going to go and get warm again (Bah, Humbug!). So we just had to get out and enjoy it while we could.
OK, I want you to know that we may be nuts, but we aren’t crazy.![]()
