Solo Winter Camping with a Canvas Tarp | Fire, Fatwood & Campfire Cooking
There’s something different about a simple shelter in the dead of winter.
In this solo winter camping trip, I test a new canvas tarp design by Lonewolf902. Originally intended as a hot tent setup for hammock camping, it quickly reveals itself as something more… a versatile, minimalist shelter with a lot of untapped potential.
Instead of complexity, this setup leans into simplicity. A piece of canvas, the forest, and the quiet rhythm of winter.
After setting camp, I head into the woods to gather firewood and search for fatwood, the small golden treasure that makes fire feel like a quiet ritual. As the cold settles in, the fire becomes the center of everything.
Dinner is simple but satisfying: fried chicken over an open campfire, cooked slowly in the stillness of the boreal forest.
As night falls, I settle in under the canvas, thusting my sleeping system... my sleeping bag give me a little surprise ..
In the morning, with frost still hanging in the air, I relight the fire and take some time to walk through fatwood processing, along with practical ways to prepare and store it in advance for future trips.
This trip is about more than gear.
It’s about rhythm, repetition, and the quiet confidence that comes from doing simple things well.
