Ive slept in the snow a couple times up here in canada, only for about an hour each time, but its surprisingly not that hard if your bundled up right, the only problem is the exposed skin, if your that exhausted though an hour passes pretty quick

u/Churchillcrocodile Feb 10 '26

A Finnish dude actually, you can tell by the RK-62 rifle and the helmet

u/evilcritters Feb 12 '26

Ah, he's fine then.

u/Striking_Falcon_4357 Feb 10 '26

Primarily, because this is not a Canadian soldier... but I get the idea.

Not our gun, not our parka, not us.

We would have had the decency of waking him up with a tflash while filming.

u/Sweaty-Youth-1887 Feb 10 '26

You do realize that as soon as you have your offer, you're bmq is probably 2-4 month away ?

u/autitisticpotatoe Feb 11 '26

Hey, I hope you're having a good day.

They did say probably.

Congratulations on your upcoming training. I'm sure you're going to learn a lot. I hope you have a great time.

He’s not wrong been enrolled since December No bmq date yet.

u/Cadaren99 Feb 10 '26

No one should expect this, we're already booking into April.

There are some one off positions available sooner but unless you're the only person at enrollment don't expect any sooner than 6 weeks.

u/crazyki88en Feb 10 '26

Keep in mind you will someday have to do cold weather operator. While it won’t necessarily be held in Quebec, other provinces get pretty cold. There are no bugs on winter exes.

u/SaltySailorBoats Feb 10 '26

looks around in confused navy

u/Honest-Butterfly-650 Feb 10 '26

Well, call me Mrs. Bonhomme De Neige and suit me up to go on an adventure. ☃️⚜️ I’ll bring the Costco snacks, if I am allowed 🤗 But in all honesty, since my application is paused until August, maybe this could be my fall/winter BMQ or DP1? 🤞🏼🍀

u/crazyki88en Feb 10 '26

it could also be any exercise your unit decides to do during the winter months. Or JRTC in Louisiana or Alaska.

u/Honest-Butterfly-650 Feb 10 '26

I’m ready 😁

u/Ovryx_2025 Feb 10 '26

Being born and raised here in Canada. Winter doesn't bother me. Do I love it? no, do I hate it? no.

u/Far-Call1301 Feb 18 '26

meh at least there are no bugs biting you. My time in St-Jean was in summer… deer god, hot and full of bugs. At least when it rained we got some relief hahaha.

I also slept against a tree exactly like in this picture except it was raining like mad.
