God I love summer. Hard to go to the lake when it's frozen. Can't go hiking in the mud during spring or fall. Camping when it's 35 sucks. Just relaxing outside for hours in the 20s isn't ideal. Summer is amazing.
Same, drink plenty of water and you're fine. I'll take the warm weather over the cold any day of the year. Cold sucks, because all your doing is trying to stay warm.
Warm weather he says.
Sure, "warm" is definitely a description.
A better description might be "So balls-squelchingly hot that you are constantly sweating, even when not moving, and you have to carry a spare change of clothes for when your first one inevitably becomes drenched; and you are constantly miserable because your body is not designed to be comfortable in +38°C temperatures and, unlike cold weather, you can not just wear more appropriate clothing because even when you are butt ass naked, your back will still resemble a fucking waterfall."
But sure, let's go with "warm" weather.
Lol I'm in the south, where that's normal. Guess I'm used to it.
I completely disagree. I easily stay warm camping in the snow, I have the proper gear. I am completely unable to be cool outdoors in the summer.
And what kind of activities do you do while you're out there in the cold? In the snow? Hang out in your tent. Walk to the fire to stay warm and back to the tent. I mean really there's not a ton that you can't actually do unless you are specifically out there to ski or snowboard or some other stupid cold weather sport like that.
I go snowshoeing during the day, or maybe drive around in the snow, my car is very capable. We don't have mountains nearby to ski or snowboard, and I don't care for cross country skiing.
Sometimes I'll drive to town for a meal in a local diner, or I'll spend some time cooking a nice meal at my camp. I don't spend time in my tent except to sleep or change my clothes, maybe roll a joint away from the wind.
I can sit comfortably outside in a chair for hours at -20C without getting cold. I like to stand by the fire sometimes, maybe listen to some music, there's never anyone right next to me it will bother. And yes a fire is nice, but I don't need it to stay warm. I do like to cook over the fire also. A campstove is efficient, but cooking some meat over a fire in the snow is a vibe.
Sometimes I have data coverage where I camp, and I might spend a little time on my phone or on a tablet. They don't mind bitter cold, although batteries don't perform quite as well. I have lots of options for power sources if needed. But honestly I prefer when I'm outside of data range and no one can reach me.
Lol the guy downvoting you because his pathetic "gotcha" didn't work.
That's kind of a biased take, isn't it? You clearly don't enjoy snow activities, but that doesn't mean others don't like them. We hike, cook, play various games, all outside in the snow. Wear the proper gear and there is no bad weather.
Frozen lakes are what you can skate on. 35 is unbearable camping temperature. Way too hot.

Yeah but you can't swim for a very long. Makes it really difficult to kayak or canoe or rap. Makes it unbearable to fish unless you bring a cabin and basically live on the lake.
Ouch. Fair, but ouch.
See. Terrible rap lyrics. Mouth to cold, can't rhym worth a damn, freezin, breezin, life in the winter ain't nothin but sneezin.
Why a cabin? Gloves and an axe will do fine.
