The WLY Mammoth is a bumper-pull travel trailer built for serious Arctic camping
With a heated king bed and a massive portable heater, it's like a go-anywhere camp sauna on wheels.

While many campers pack up their gear for winter at the first subzero temperature dip, there is a certain segment of hardcore outdoorsmen who enjoys the great outdoors in any season. Mammoth Overland's WLY Mammoth is a lightweight travel trailer designed for just those campers who don't mind bitter cold, scorching heat, and everything in between.

All-season travel trailers and RVs are nothing new. But Mammoth Overland takes "Arctic-ready" camping to a whole new level with the WLY Mammoth. Like the company's other bumper-pull trailers, it's built tough enough to survive the rigors of overlanding. But the WLY (that would be "wooly") is purpose-built for winter camping. The cabin features a handsome plaid wool liner that not only looks great but also delivers an R-value of R12 — significantly higher than the R5 rating found in more ordinary campers. The floor boasts an even better R25 rating. Mammoth Overland adds an 11,500 BTU/hr propane-powered mobile forced air heating system to the mix. That's enough power to heat a 600-square-foot cabin, ensuring the WLY stays ultra-toasty no matter how far the mercury drops outside. Plus, a heated king-size bed provides the perfect centerpiece for this winter-ready basecamp.

Zipper pull camping hack: Exit your tent and disturb no one
Don't wake up your partner while camping with this tent zipper pull hack
Man at a campground stargazing

Camping overnight comes with a bunch of challenges, but if you're like me, one of the worst ones ever is needing to exit the tent before dawn to use the bathroom or grab something from the car. My husband is a pretty light sleeper, so any excessive rumple I make is going to wake him up. Worse, I've also had the misfortune of startling wildlife. Fortunately, I've found a great camping hack that solves the problem — glow sticks!

Yep! You heard me. I've found that creating a glow stick ring through the holes in my tent's zipper pulls solves the issue. Not only does this make your zipper visible, but it also gives you something bigger to grab on to. With this camping hack, I am able to open my tent's zipper slowly and quietly, minimizing risk of startling anything inside or outside.

The best Midwest ski resorts for a weekend getaway on the slopes
Whether you're going with kids or your partner, these are the top Midwest ski resorts to check out
Ski lift

The Midwest is known for many things -- endless cornfields, die-hard football fans, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. But while skiing may not be the first thing that comes to mind, the Midwest is home to some surprisingly impressive ski resorts that are ideal for winter enthusiasts. There are plenty of well-known ski towns in the Midwest, including the town of Ishpeming in northwestern Michigan, which is credited with being the so-called birthplace of organized skiing in America, as the original home of the National Ski Association, created in 1905 -- and now known as US Ski & Snowboard.

Remember, though, Midwestern winters can include extreme conditions, so be ready for bone-chilling winds and icy temperatures with the best ski and snowboard jackets and the best ski gloves in your snow sports arsenal. You'll also want to make sure your skis are good to go. After all, many experts say showing up with the right ski gear is the most important part of a day on the slopes. "When driving down an icy mountain road, it is reassuring to know your car is fitted with snow tires and fully functional brakes," said ski instructor Marco Furio in an interview with New Generation. "The same concept can be applied to skiing. The sport is about learning to trust your equipment and its capabilities, as well as your own."
