    I find cold is relative. 0 to -20 is good camping weather up here. No mosquitoes.

    Camping would be OK except for the lack of 4 walls, a roof, plumbing and electricity.

    Campers have to be a little extra cautious around here. Set up camp in the wrong area and you'll have one hell of a pissed off wolverine to deal with. Those things are crazy aggressive and highly territorial, with adult males having a territory up to 25 kilometers wide and will attack just about anything from black bears to large farm equipment.

    Set up camp in the wrong season and well, you know, the cold and all...

    The other advantage to camping in the winter is bears hibernate.

    I don't have to worry about anything getting near camp with out me knowing about it. I have about a dozen dogs stacked out. We get plenty of warning of any visitors.

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    But the worst we have to deal with in the UK is rabbits coming in to eat your food during the night, hardly a scary thought. Even when I wild camped alone at the top of a mountain earlier this year I wouldn't have had anything worse than a sheep coming near me
