Rain Warning Alert! 

thank you very much Laurie- It is a pleasure to do this. Lots of fun.

Yes. Agree.

absolutely Jan- It is wonderful how helpful people are.

You always have something great to share- many thanks

Hi Amelia- I put myself in that situation so I had to suck it up! I find laughter is often the best medicine, especially if you can laugh at yourself.

thanks Heidi- I have a lot of funding these videos. They motivate me to continue to get out there. It is also a wonderful way to hear from interesting people like yourself from so many different place.

thanks for the tips Kyla- I will check it out

Thank you very much!

I agree- no need to trench but hard to fit that warm little stove 🤣. Maybe a hammock tarp!

thanks again Ivyjean.

isn't that an idea! She is so young and energetic- I would just sit in awe. Young folks are so inspiring- we can all do with a boost from their energy.

We are indeed most fortunate Marg. I think you will agree.

if fact that is close to what I did but I used pieces of fire wood to turn up the edge of my ground sheet and sleeping mat. You are right on. Guess you use what ever is at hand. 👍

a few wet moments for sure!

Right on!

thanks for checking it out Kammy. Awesome to have you. Brooke has an amazing channel. Quite an amazing woman. I watch her regularly.

thank you. I do have one at the advice of an earlier viewer. I appreciate hearing from you and your concern.

Perfect. I recently found you. I am a 59yo (next month) woman and love getting out there 🌲🌳 🌲. Am looking forward to starting some section holes of the AT, soon. You have helped me, greatly, already!!

You are right Ruby- It was the real wet thing!! Lots of digging. but I stayed dry. Yeah!!!

Wendy, thank you for taking us along with you on your adventures. Please get a GOOD carbon monoxide detector for when you have any kind of heating apparatus inside your tent. There are some cheap ones on the market-I’d stay an away from those. A lot of folks have one to keep them safe, while camping. Steve Wallis ALWAYS has one-he never take that risk. ❤

It did make me laugh-

Sounds good!

thanks Rosemary- all ideas welcome. I think a shovel in the car is a great idea regardless. I will look into a folding one like you suggested.

Glad you are having fun too. Nothing like a good soak in the rain to remind you of the comfort of home!

thanks Julie, I appreciate your support and comments. It was quite the wet one! Im now waiting for a weather break so I can get out again.

Gosh- that darn covid is with us to stay it seems. Glad to be there for you today.

thank you Lisa- I enjoy doing them! Provides a challenge in life for sure.

Thanks for the tip!

thanks Chris

Yeah- another V I person. There are a few watching now.

you are right- thanks for the suggestion.

Normally I don't cook in my tent but I feel winter camping offers some security in some areas. In lots of places the bears are hibernating. They don't tend to here as it is milder but the places I have used that tent for in these videos are in well used provincial parks, not in the "wild". Despite that I always move my food and dishes etc out of my tent at night and secure them in a "bear proof" manner. I don't keep anything but water in my tent overnight. I Hope this clarifies and answers your questions. As for the tent- I do have a small 2 person tent but it is not compatible with a wood stove. By not having a floor it is safer to place the stove directly on the ground as it reduces the risk of fire or burns from embers. You might notice that I also use a fire proof mat as well. Being floorless also helps with water and snow off your boots and clothing from saturating the floor as there isn't one. I think that is one of the big plusses for floorless tents. I am still learning about winter camping and will become better at it with more experience. Thank you for your thoughtful message and questions.

Great hint- many thanks

I agree, sometimes difficult to find in a campground. trench building is a lot of work!

Thank you so much!

You're welcome 😊

that may very well work. I will file the suggestion away for the next major down pour.

@@wendyoutdoors2230looking forward to seeing your next adventure

thank you Catherine. I appreciate hearing from you and to know the videos are helpful is most rewarding- I wish you all the best with your adventure.

awesome- Keep it going !!!

got it - thanks

thank you

I almost wanted to but as I purposely went out there I couldn't really cave in. I did a lot of laughing that evening along with the digging!!
