Fall Camping Stereotypes for Chilly Montana Days and Nights

Colder temperatures shouldn't stop you from getting outside and clinging to what little is left of the sun and fun. Fall can be a very bust time for outdoor fun. I recently went on a backcountry elk hunt that involved me using all my camping tips and tricks to make the trip comfortable and light to pack. The only issue is the colder nights make for more clothes and bulky bags.

According to backpacker.com, here is the list of things you may need for colder weather camping.

Essential Cold-Weather Camping Gear Checklist

• Closed-cell foam sleeping pad
• Coupler strap (and a buddy)
• Sleeping bag with an appropriate lower-limit temperature rating
• Synthetic or wool base layers
• Socks, gloves, and a technical cold-weather hat
• Grooved wind-resistant tent stakes
• Nutrient-dense snacks
• Reusable straw
• Tent brush
• Urination device (FUD) for the ladies
• Bottle insulator
• Stainless steel water bottle

The guys from Dude Perfect have hit just about every Camping Stereotype you could possibly think of. Everything from "S'More Wars" to "The Campfire Expert." Stereotypes that we can all agree that we have done, regardless of the season or weather. Check out the hilarious video from Dude Perfect.

When on any outdoor excursion, including camping, my most essential thing to pack is dry socks. No amount of money or care can match having dry socks when they are needed. Aside from toilet paper, dry socks are a MUST HAVE. You can actually use the socks as toilet paper if you need them. (Maybe I just need better boots and should stay out of the creek?)
