Right before the snow flies is typically the busiest part of the prospecting season. (The prospecting season lasts from spring to fall, so long as you can look at the outcrop without shovelling snow.) This is of course because it is the last chance before the snow flies to look at the rock.
Last year, we did a prospecting/soil sampling program for Rubicon Minerals. Dad and I had just purchased a prospector tent camp that we could use for this job.
Living in a 14X16' canvas tent with wood floor is almost like living in a little cabin. We had a little RV stove for cooking, tables, cots, and oil stove for heat.
