A buddy and I are talking about a winter camping trip early 2021. I've done a fair bit of nice weather camping, but nothing cold. We're not going anywhere off the beaten path, just a state park in a camp site most likely, so we'll have a car on hand in case we run into issues. Basically, what I want to know is 1.) What should I know to mitigate the cold and enjoy the trip as much as possible. 2.) Are there any basic prices of equipment not used in regular camping that make a big difference?
We expect temperatures in the 20s-30s.
