One of the joys of winter camping is the opportunity to build the kitchen of your dreams. Using a shovel, you can shape the snow into whatever shape you want; it can be a cooking surface, seats, tables and even a storage cupboard. Use your imagination to make your kitchen as comfortable and functional as possible. If you have an awning or tarp, you can take it with you to create a sheltered space where you can comfortably cook or eat. Stretch out the tent or tarp, then dig out an area below so you can stand up.
