For one, you have to contend with frostbite and dehydration, not to mention hypothermia during snow. Surviving in the snow is a lot harder than surviving in a temperate environment.

The basic rules of survival are you can last 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water but only 3 hours without shelter in a harsh environment. If you’ve enjoyed your time out in the wilderness so much that you decide to start taking some adventures in the wild by yourself and not with a guided tour you should really have a basic understanding of surviving in cold conditions just in case something goes wrong like you sprain an ankle and can’t walk far or you get lost and have to wait a few hours or even overnight to be rescued. When doing an organized activity such as a snowmobile tour, you know you’re safe because you have experts with you with all the right equipment, knowledge and experience, they’ve checked the weather including the avalanche forecast and won’t go out if conditions aren’t suitable, they’ve taken precautions such as people back at the lodge know the route they’ve taken and when they would be expecting you back.

It’s also lots of fun to be in nature and participate in an adventure such as a snowmobile tour.

There’s nothing better than being out in the wilderness where you get to see nature in all its glory.
