Did an overnight trip this weekend with my 13yr old son, my buddy and his son who is also a friend of my son. We went up to some public woods in north central WI. We underestimated the amount of snow they had up there, most spots were knee to waist deep. While the lake we were hiking into was only 1.2mi in, it took us 2hrs to hike in. I would have paid a pretty penny for some snowshoes at that point!
Aside from the butt whopping of a walk in and out, it was the perfect weekend for camping. Only other incident we had is that my son started feeling under the weather before bed so i gave him my brand new, never used Nemo Sonic -20 bag to use to make sure he stayed warm (we didn’t use the titanium wood stove at night). Well as we were packing up he accidentally bumped the bag against the still hot stove that was cooling down from making hot chocolate and coffee and burnt my new bag.
