Camping in HEAVY SNOW & RAIN - A Solo Adventure

For this camping adventure I hike into the Temple Valley in the South Island of New Zealand to go camping in the snow. This is the first heavy snowfall for the season. The walk in was in heavy rain, and it poured and poured as I set up the tent. The snow started to fall around my campfire as I relaxed in the evening, and then the snowstorm hit and it snowed heavily overnight. So much so that I was up four times in the night knocking the snow off the tent and tarp. I awoke to an incredible view. It wasn't an easy camp, and there were challenges that really tested me, but to me that is what the challenge of the outdoors is all about, overcoming challenges and the satisfaction of achievement. I really hope you all enjoy coming along and joining me on this trip.
