surviving winter camp

Jared had his first winter campout a few weeks ago. Fortunately, it was a "warm" weekend, so Jared & Mark didn't freeze. Mark really doesn't like winter camping, but it was good father-son bonding time. The group got a later-than-planned start Friday night, so they were only able to get camp set up before dark. They each used two sleeping bags and a quilt to stay warm in their tent during the night. In the morning, everyone went snowshoeing with these awesome snowshoes that they had made especially for the campout (the scouts made about 20 pairs). Jared wasn't that thrilled with snowshoeing at first, but the second time out (at another scout activity) he had a more enjoyable time.
