Well, folks, up here we do an awful lot of cabin camping; it's dangerous
taking untrained boys out in tents when the air temperature rises to +5
degrees F, but the wind chill is -30. I've taken Okpik and I enjoy tent
camping year-round, but not everybody makes the investment in winter gear
that I have. So most of my BSA camping was in cabins as an SA when I was
nominated as an adult.
