Do you do any cold weather camping?

I want to do more of that; more short impromptu trips To make it more likely to happen though, I have got to simplify the "departing" process. This means I need to reduce the preparations and to be more of a minimalist. I pack and take just way too much...a Boy Scout curse.
Bob,
Thats the reason I enjoyed camping off the motorcycle so much. I had ( still have ) a duffle bag that I keep packed that will fit on the luggage rack of my bike. Everything i need except clothes and food will fit inside that duffle. I can literally load the bike with the duffle, food and clothing for 3 days and be on the road in 20 minutes. I've carried the same duffel in the back seat of my truck when I went to the woods for years.
I try to keep the CTC ready the same way. The trailer stays loaded with the things I need except food ,clothes and possibly the ATV or bike. All the items I use camping are dedicated to camping including the 20# propane tanks. After each trip I pull stuff out of the CTC, sweep down the floors, replenish things that need it and then put everything back in the CTC. ADD my food tote, cooler in the truck bed , clothes, load the dog and I can be on the road. Other than loading the atv or bike I can usually be on the road in 30-45 minutes.
I got use to doing it this way when on the bike so that I could come home on Friday after work, load the bike and be in the N. Georgia mtns before dark. Thats a 150-200 mile ride depending on my route.
