I enjoy your love of the boreal forest in winter. I have spent a lot of time in the boreal forest of northern Minnesota in the winter. I took many winter camping trips there and loved it. It’s remarkable how similar your part of the boreal forest looks to the parts I visited. Thanks for sharing…🙂
Thanks Jim! It’s nice to hear that you have similar forests there. The boreal forest always looks so fresh, even in winter. Do you camp overnight in winter? I would love to do an overnight trip in winter myself. I got a military‑grade winter sleeping bag from my partner for Christmas, but I haven’t had the chance to try it yet. My problem is that I get cold easily at night, and when I’m cold, I don’t sleep well. But this sleeping bag should definitely be warm enough. 🫶🏼🏕️
Yes - I have spent many nights sleeping in an (unheated) tent in the winter boreal forest. Temperatures as low as -40 C. Our trips were usually about a week in length and totally self-supported (i.e., no “guides”). A good sleeping bag is essential!! I have “retired” from winter camping now (I’m almost 70), but I loved doing it and took family, friends, and students with me on trips. If you have winter camping related questions, I would be happy to give you my perspective/experience.
Thank you Karen, for your lovely comment. I would love to go for a walk with you! We’re also facing the possibility of our snow melting soon, so we’re making the most of it while we can. I hope you’ll get some fresh snow over there too. 🤗
This is the best thing I’ve read all day: and I had a big smile on my face throughout! Thank you therefore for the wonderful words and images; and to you and your wonderful family for making them!

You take such wonderful photos. And you have a very good eye for details. I enjoy looking at them all every time and wish I could join you….
We had rain some days ago and all the snow has gone. Yesterday sunshine. Just now it’s +3C. It’s supposed to be colder in a couple of days.
