And people aren't waiting until spring to use their gifts, because winter camping is growing tremendously as a family- style recreation. A few years ago, cold- weather camping was usually reserved for men. It was "roughing it" in the purest (Tjn sense. Now, women and chil- dren are joining in on the winter fun . . . and enjoying it fully. According to Murray Crow- der, noted outdoor writer and a member of Sears, Roebuck and Co. Sports Advisory Staff, "winter camping is now snowballing in popularity just as summer camping did 10 years ago." The main reason, explained Crowder, is the advent of new, vastly improved tents, sleeping bags, and outdoor clothing. For instance, mod­ ern tents are lightweight, wind-proof and constructed of nylon or similar man-made fibers. In addition, attractive designs and bright colors ap­ peal to the feminine tastes. Today's sleeping bags are neither bulky nor heavy and provide great warmth. Mod­ ern bags, made of synthetic fibers, are non-allergenic and heat-retaining. In many cases, they are nearly equal to pure goose down and much less expensive. "The new Catalytic heaters are also a big boon to winter camping," he added. "They're ^•^1 completely safe, portable and Mail will keep any tent interior warm and comfortable." But, according to Crowder, other factors are also contri­ buting to the popularity of winter camping. Snowmobil- ing and skiing are luring campers outdoors during the winter. In fact, a growing number of franchise camp­ grounds are staying open through the snowy months for snowmobile campers. And their business is brisk. "Above all else, winter camping provides uncrowded campgrounds, scenic beauty ^ and a sense of freedom," Crowder added.
