While camping in the cold can be a blast, winter is not exactly the most forgiving season for sleeping outside. However, a cold weather tent with a stove can make a cozy, warm night of winter camping ...

In short, no. At least, not a backpacking tent. These are all made of nylon or polyester, and any stove pipe will melt that stuff like a laser through butter. Hot Vent Canvas tents are another matter.

As residents living in a Lower Sackville ballpark prepare for freezing winter conditions in the months ahead, several community members are volunteering both time and funds to lessen the burden.
