 Do you think you could survive winter in a tent? ⛺

What say you?
Hell, maybe a mud hut is better. Wattle and daub.

My middle school science teacher used to take students camping on a nearby mountain twice a year. Half of the kids would go in the winter, with several feet of snow on the ground. It's a fun experience, but trying to survive the entire winter like that would be challenging.

Of course you can, this guy I know who's homeless has been doing it for roughly five years.
You just need to make sure that snow or rain doesnt' collect on the roof or else it'll break the support.
You also need to worry about your surroundings getting flooded obviously, but it's completely doable. The one thing you need to get used to is sleeping outside in dry air, which is why having a blind fold and snow mask to cover your mouth isn't a bad idea, it keeps your breathe fairly humid.

It depends on where you're wintering at.
If you're in Hawaii, then you should be fine.
If you're in Northern Canada, maybe not.

People with cars try to get closer to the coasts/lakes come the cold seasons. Something about large bodies of water acting as a thermal sink in the days.

Am I the only one that finds this a disturbing?

Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better

we had a guy at my school who tried hooking up with a young boy in a hotel
they found images on his computer
during the 7th grade they go up to frost vally
the food was bad so I never went, it was a 2-3 day thing
one year i heard some students got in trouble for being out late
so he tied them up to trees lol
kind of funny but i dunno i always thought he was at least gay
