Hello everyone, we wanted to be with you with new adventures as we enter the new year. We went to a mountainous forest north of Ankara and camped in a warm tent with a stove in the middle of a snowstorm. While we were building perhaps the largest Christmas tree in Turkey, we also tracked the wolves on the brink of the storm. We had the opportunity to see the wild animals in the region with the camera trap work.
We howled at the wolves, and the wolves howled at us.
Later that night, while we were sleeping in shifts, we woke up around 05:00 when the ceiling of the tent collapsed due to heavy snowfall. While we were hitting it with our hands to clear the snow accumulated on the ceiling, the tent was suddenly punctured. We faced a real struggle for survival.
We had to pack up and leave the area as soon as possible. Because it would be impossible to escape from the area in the morning. We hurriedly packed up and got into our vehicle to leave the area. However, the snow depth of up to 1 meter and the snowdrifts created by the snowstorm did not allow us to leave the region. Our vehicle got stuck in the snow.
Some of my friends were in danger of freezing. There was a burning sensation in his feet. We waited for a while in the vehicle, turning on the air conditioning. We called the emergency teams and asked for help. But no one could reach us for hours. The snowmobile from the nearby ski resort gave us 2 shovels. Thanks to these shovels, we moved the car a little bit. But it still wasn't enough. After 10 hours of waiting, a brother from the town center came to rescue us. We were saved after a hard struggle. I hope you enjoy our warm New Year's tent camp with a stove in a snowstorm full of action and adventure. Enjoy watching...
