We Won't Hibernate: 5 Ways to Rebel Against the Cold

Frost. Ice. Sleet. Snow. Cold. Yeah, curling up with a blanket and binge-watching your favorite show sounds tempting. But where’s your rebellious spirit? Who says winter should win? It’s not a season to endure—it’s a season to embrace. To thrive. To gather. To connect. To make the most of every frosty moment outdoors.

Think about it: there’s something uniquely satisfying about defying the cold and stepping outside. And when you say no to hibernating, you’re saying yes to something better: connection. You’re making space for post-ski day hangs, impromptu (ice)block parties, and the kind of stories that keep the fire—and the friendships—burning. That’s what winter’s all about.

Don’t give into the stereotypes—lonely days, cooped up inside, bundled in blankets. Step out. Fight the cold. And circle up with the crew. Because in a way, the cold is a force that brings us all closer (for warmth, of course).

5 WAYS TO REBEL AGAINST THE COLD

BRING THAT PIT WITH

Matthew Baydala knows how this one works. Our Bonfire and Ranger pits can go wherever you go. Skiing? Bring your own après-ski setup. Game day at a friend’s place? Throw it in the car. All you need to do is grab some firewood. And bring that extra heat where you want to go. And in the winter, it’s especially good.

FROZEN PIZZA, BUT MAKE IT FRESH

Forget the freezer aisle. Transform winter nights into something special with fresh, fire-fired pizzas straight from your backyard (or your snowy getaway). The Pi Prime Pizza oven is so hot, you perfect crackling crusts and melty gooey cheese in 90 seconds. You’ll be done slinging pies before you even get cold.

MAX OUT YOUR WARMTH

David Stanley’s got an interesting take on this one. Accessories like the Heat Deflector bounce warmth right where you need it—so you can stay cozy, even when the temperatures drop. Build the perfect setup to keep your next hangout thawed out after a cabin-fever escape.

MIX IT UP

Warm drinks with warm friends? Yes. If you can’t beat the chill, join them. Bring a spiked hot cider cocktail to your next snowdown. It’s okay to step out for a warm drink with friends. Especially if you’ve got a fire going.

So what are you waiting for? Winter doesn’t have to keep you inside. Light the fire, embrace the chill, and make this season one to remember. Whether you’re gathering around a fire pit, baking pizzas under the stars, or just enjoying the crisp air with friends, there’s no better time to connect and make the season yours. 

This winter, don’t just get through it—own it. We’ll see you out there.
