How to Enjoy Winter Backpacking on a Budget - It Doesn't Have to be Expensive! (+ Outtakes)

We’ve all had someone tell us that winter backpacking is super expensive or you have to be specialized gear to not freeze your butt off–but I believe you can enjoy winter backpacking on a budget. I have spent many nights in the backcountry below zero with a budget tent, budget sleeping bag, and budget sleeping pad. You don’t have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to enjoy winter backpacking. In this video I’ll talk about everything I use–from base layers to microspikes to tents and sleeping bags. 🏕️ 👉 Help Support AND Shape Dose of Dirt through Patreon:   / doseofdirt   You can vote in polls to help decide what gear to buy, test, review, and then give away to Patreon members!
