"It's like summer camp....but in winter"

We're fresh off a recent press trip in 🇨🇦, CAMP COLD, where we enjoyed fat biking, polar plunging, winter camping, snow cave building, snowshoeing and more, while using and learning about the amazing gear that make these winter adventures safe, comfortable, and fun.

HUGE thanks to Baffin Footwear & Apparel for making this trip happen - we loved adventuring in your backyard and introducing media to your amazing products, company heritage, and HQ. And to Polar Explorer Eric Larsen & Alex Bunge for guiding us through the Canadian wilderness and keeping us warm.
