I'm curious about what other peoples winter campsites are like. I've attached two photo's showing one of mine from a couple of years ago at Railroad Notch/Little Meadows between Big Slide and Porter. It never went above 10 deg. and was mostly below 0 deg. We have a 20' x 5' light weight tarp we stretch around tree's to create a breeze free area to cook and hang out in. It only adds 1.25 lbs per person and is well worth having for extended trips. Even being shielded from a very light breeze in very cold temps makes a big difference. We generally hike to a base camp then bushwhack/peakbag from there. Our packs to base camp tend to be on the heavy side but we day hike with day Railroad Notch.jpgBlue room.jpgpacks and have a very comfortable camp to hang at when we return from a long day of whacking.

Sorry, I meant to post this in general backcountry. Can't figure out how to move it. Buddy

Buddy, My tent is a two person tent, but I use it solo. I pulled almost everything on a small sled. I took this while I was packing up. Looking in through the front door. It also has a rear door with a small vestibule.

That's quite the variety of camps Chip. What's that wood burning unit in the leanto. I could get into having one of those. Buddy
 
Where is the megamid love?

AMF: Our Meals Tent at Ingraham on Rainier was a Megamid. What you don't see in this pic is that the guides had it dug out under so it was like walking down into an entire round room with seating around the perimeter and workspaces. Very nice:
