I've even had frostbite before I learned how to stay warm. I buy my socks from REI.com. (Sometimes can find the same brands cheaper at places like Campmor.com and SierraTradingPost.com)
There's a good selection, and you can read the descriptions for each. The socks I buy keep my feet warm while I hike ten miles in the snow. You might not need that level of warmth! Also, they are kind of pricey. Good luck!

Pop-Up Camper
We are in our 2nd Coleman p/u camper - 1st was 8', this one is 10'. We love it! It does have AC, but we hardly ever have to use it. If you camp in national parks and a lot of national forests, they do not have electric for running the AC anyway. It usually cools down at night enough for sleeping. As far as heat, just get a little portable electric heater or we also have a small heater for campers that runs on the cans of propane. It works good for taking the chill off. Cabelas.com is a good source for your porta-potti as well as other camping supplies and also Campmor.com. Lots and lots of good camping all over - go to national park and national forest web sites as well as each state's web sites for their state parks. We hardly every stay in commercial campgrounds because the state and national parks are so much prettier, less expensive, and the sites are bigger. Mostly, just get out there and have fun and enjoy!!
I'm a hard-core camper.
I strap everything on my back and walk out into the wilderness. When I'm away from my computer, that's what I want to be -- AWAY from my computer. And maybe it's all my years in the back country, but when I go to those RV campgrounds, I can't find any peace. Lots of people, lots of activities. That's good if that's what you want, but even if I had to work there, I doubt I could concentrate.
may be same problem as we have in winter -
extremely dry skin - daughter's BF has a pit and they were told to use a veterinary oatmeal shampoo and he is on some mega fatty acid capsule, vitamin E, but the oil on his food may be accomplishing that. Try a humidifier, keep the heat (if you are in a cold area, of course) lower.
You don't have to do winter wonderland (sm)
You can do traditional Christmas decorations if the majority celebrates it. I am sure this will not be a big suprise to him - he has seen people celebrate Christmas all his life. He doesn't expect you to stop celebrating it but he doesn't have to participate of course.
I like winter, especially since I dont have to get out

I don't hate winter, but
enough is enough! Yeah, I know it's only February. We've been spoiled here in the Northeast. The last few winters have been so warm I'd started believing in global warming. Now I'm starting to think new ice age instead!
Got 5" here...lots of snow this winter...nm

winter wedding what to wear?
What does a guest wear to a winter wedding?
robins don't always leave for the winter
any more. Depending on how good food sources are. You probably have a hawk if his tail has stripes horizontally. He may pick off a robin.
Summer here is great.. wish I was in FL in winter though :)

Winter blues in New England
I have lived here in the NE for 20+ years and am fed up with the winters. I'm single so I'm thinking of picking up and moving south (East Coast though). Can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent area? I want sun and warmth!
In SoFla, our fairs are in winter. Or so-called

After an absolutely crummy winter/spring...
Here in the beautiful Pacific NW, I mean really cold, below normal temps, snow very late into the season...
We are expecting some 90+ degree days starting tomorrow into the weekend - and I for one am HAPPY! My poor halter tops haven't seen daylight for so long I forgot what they look like.
North Dakota. :D Freeze in winter/fry in summer ;)
Well, this is our coldest period right now. But having it -30 to -60 with the windchills certainly isn't any surprise. In summer we can be in the 80s and 90s with very high humidity. LOL! We always say, if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute.
And if you live where it freezes in winter, the filter MUST be emptied

That's New England - cold winter, warm bread! nm
...
so what you're saying is that if your child lost her coat you would make her go the winter(sm)
without one simply because someone ELSE may have stolen it? Wow.
winter wonderland and chestnuts roasting on an open fire
and baby, its cold outside. have more than 1!!
Crazy curly in the summer, poker straight in the winter
My hair changes with the weather and it is impossible to get a good hair style because it looks so different from one day to the next. But I like the color, natural blond with reddish highlights.
The weather has been HORRIBLE just about everywhere his Winter!!! Mother Nature Angry! :-(.....nm
