Question for you winter campers out there...

.... and for my more adventurous friends:

Who out there backpacks and (primitive) camps in the winter?  And I mean - like when it's 0 or below.

I'm researching all that I need to winter camp - the 4 season dome tent, the special sleeping bags, the over-sized backpack, the special boots, etc. I have a list. So I was wondering who out there winter backpacks and hikes and where do you go? I know of a place out by Marietta with a 7 mile trail and a pond for ice fishing that sounds good... but is there a trail somewhere with a water source (for fishing) and a longer trail that's also good for camping?

Also, can you recommend a tent? I've looked at several different brands - but I'm still not sure. I know you can get some with a Hobit Stove also, but I worry about the condensation. So if anyone has a thought on the matter, a suggestion or recommendation - message me!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

Cheers,
TJ
