Pitching a 3 season tent for winter use. An excerpt from the full length video Snow Hiking Vermont – Winter Backpacking & Frigid Camping in the Green Mountains 

I’ll also show my favorite backpacking snow shovel, as well as how I create some “dead man” anchors to secure my three season tent in the snow using regular plastic grocery bags, since aluminum spikes would simply slip out of place in the deep snow.

Tent shown is a Kelty Salida 2.

Location is the Big Branch Wilderness Area within Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest.
