Me and a few friends have been talking about winter camping and building a snow cave for weeks. We settled on Super Bowl weekend, and the weather Saturday shaped up to be absolutely incredible for snow caving.
We spent the better part of the afternoon digging out a cave. It took from about 1:30 pm until 4:45 pm. We had a cave with enough room to stand up, and we carved out three beds in the walls of our cave. It was very fun and surprisingly warm. The evening was cool, but the stars were incredible.
We woke up Sunday morning to discover a fox outside our cave. We had lazily secured our food, and the fox had spent the evening gorging himself on cheese, crackers, crumpets, and beef jerky. We chased him off, had our breakfast that was still intact, and destroyed our home.
Orchid: First snow cave.
Onion: Not digging out a wide enough shel, and feeling a little cramped up all night.
