I went on a lot of campouts during my youth. I did a lot with the scouts, a lot in the from yard or around the farm and even did one with a summer biology class where I saw my first flying squirrel. I slept on the ground many times and didn't seem to have much problem with it. I slept near lakes and rivers and had many wild animals come around during the night and really quite enjoyed all of those times. I did not however ever go on any campouts during the winter so when I was a scoutmaster and took the boys up on the bench above Mapleton you can only imagine the fear and trepidation that I was feeling as I slept in the cold for the first time. Well I have now spent many nights in the snow as well and love the fact that I know I can be comfortable any time of the year camping in any kind of weather. I may not enjoy some as well as others but I can do it.
