Wyoming’s gusty plains and forests, from the Wind River Range to Medicine Bow, can turn camping into a smoky, chilly ordeal if wind direction isn’t handled right. It’s not just about battling the breeze—proper setup keeps smoke drifting away, traps warmth for a cozy night, and ensures a relaxing sleep instead of a chaotic scene like your tent getting blown down by the big bad wolf! Smart orientation is the key to enjoying the wilds without the huffing and puffing.
Lessons Learned:
- Check the wind with a stick or hand to find its direction—key for a smoke-free camp.
- Position your tarp, tent, or bivvy sideways to the wind for maximum heat and safety.
- Keep your fire 1.5 paces from your shelter to avoid sparks or burns on synthetic materials.
- Keep extra paracord or guy lines handy to adjust quickly for Wyoming’s unpredictable shifts, like those in the Bighorn or Medicine Bow.
