Camping can be easter big hit after that, the prohibition to sleep in a cabin outside hjemkommunen was introduced.
Along the coast in Southern Norway and in large parts of Eastern norway, it is not snow at all, according to NVEs snøkart, so there there is easier than staying in a tent right now than it is in summer:
first, it is too early for the bloodsucking insects. Second, it is not the sun up so early, so it is not as fast as badstutemperaturer inside the tent.
There is no big problem to stay in tents where there is snow. For some it feels a little scary the first time, but if you are prepared, it goes like a breeze!
Here are some tips for a successful camping. The first applies to all, they last for those who want to stay on snow-covered ground.
Loans equipment
Before you storhandler tent and accessories in the nearest sporting goods store: Check what are available with organizations such as the Citizen, the Treasury or local libraries. Bruktmarkeder on the web gives you often much for the money. Also, remember that friluftsfolk often affected by utstyrsdilla. Do you know a fjellfant, he has probably a couple of tents he is not using right now.
Tents almost everywhere
outdoor recreation act gives you the right to be counted in the outlying areas, as long as you encamps at least 150 m from inhabited house or cabin. You can stay max two nights in the same place, but in the mountains and far from the people does not apply to this limitation. In the municipal space and in nature reserves, it is often forbidden to tents.
packing list
It is delicious to leave off somewhere and know that you have not forgotten something. Search up a packing list for camping on the web, for example at the tourist board, add your own favorittdingser, print and tick off.
Order of colors
There is chaos in the tent before you know it. Where was the chocolate and the dry socks? Color coding is the solution: for example, the food in Kiwi-bags, clothes in Rema-bags and so on. Going on a trip several times, it is well worth the money to buy decent water tight stuff bags in several colors.
Safe and calm
Lysen from the waterfalls and the rapids are entertaining in two minutes. So it really gets annoying. Find yourself a silent tent. If it is cold: Add like up to that morgensola hit the tent and warming it up. If it is warmer in the weather, it is obviously better to find the shadow of the tent quickly becomes too hot. In the mountains you must keep a good distance to mountain slopes where it can go to mass. (A small cliff on 10 meters can be dangerous enough.)
Plan your route so that you can stay close to open water. It is okay to drop to melt snow for drinking water – if you can.

It is incredibly convenient to have a stream or other water source near the tent. In the winter, it will be possible to find open leads. It can be unsafe ice on the river and the steep edges, but there is a trick: Place the coffee pot in a drawstring or bardun and use skistaven as a fishing rod. Then you can hoist up the water in a safe way. Incidentally, it is worth to go some of the way to avoid having to melt snow for drinking water.
Stay on top of the snow
It has small purpose to dig down the tent. Seen it only on top of the snow. When you don’t have to worry about roots, rocks, and other imperfections on the ground. If the snow is too loose, you can get it with skis or snowshoes.
Komfortgrop in the awning
in the Winter you can get comfortable height in the awning by digging out some snow. For example, you can dig a narrow pit with the straight edges a little within the entrance. Then you can sit with your back against the tent, with legs down in gropa and everything you need for cooking right in front of you. So good posture will get you never on sommertur!
Brush you snøfri
A regular washing-up brush is perfect to brush snow off clothing before you go in the tent. Remember that anything that melts inside, it becomes condensation to form – which at one time or another drips down in your head again.
Relax: A modern tent is safe in a storm if it is plugged and bardunert properly. Here måkes it up after a storm in Tana.

A good tent can withstand high winds if you have set it up properly. On snøføre you need a bag of extra-long plugs of aluminium. It is not wise to be dependent on the skis and poles to secure the tent – it must be able to stand there for themselves if you want to take a svipptur from the camp.
the Good foundation
Much of the heat loss occurs directly to the ground. It is located on is therefore as important as the sleeping bag. Thin surface calculated at the campsite in July is not something for april.
Blanket in the tent
A lined fjellduk is nice as wall-to-wall carpet in the tent, especially on snøføre. It is good to drop additional if you’re an inch outside the choose.
Safe heating
It is safest to make food outdoors, but if it’s cold, you may want to do it in the awning. It requires great care. Gas burners works poorly in cold weather, so it is kerosene, and gasoline. You have to exercise to fire up those burners to avoid the flames up and starts teltbrann. Fire up out if you are the least unsure: Melting teltstoff is the last thing you want on your skin. Also, keep in mind that it always form dangerous carbon monoxide (carbon) where the flame from the burner meets the cold metal. You must always ventilate when it says a kettle over the flame.
Take a note
After the trip, it is wise to write down your experiences for next time. I myself have noted that there is less chocolate and much more saltknask than you think. And yes, I really need the thermos on the vinterturen.
PS: You have tried to set up your tent at home before you go on a trip, right? It is so obvious that it is easy to forget.
