An actual logical argument for why you need to go right now.
I hear you groaning through the internet. You think there is nothing I could say that could possibly convince you that camping in the winter is a good idea. It’s cold.

Premise 2: Winter camping is camping.
Winter camping, while different, is still camping. And before you begin to complain about the cold and the dark again, let me tell you what’s great about it.
2a. You…
