Here in Maine, people do box during the winter. But the famous Mudflinginfools is again hosting her overnight boxing event at LL Bean. There is going to be about 200 letterboxes to be found. There are boxes inside and outside. Overnight temps are usually 10 degrees and lower.

At this point, there are over 200 signups for the event.

So to answer your question, yes we box in the winter.

Thank you, yes I've been learning to carve, in the chats and learning, and I joined secret Santa tracker. After Christmas maybe I'll come up with some indoor. Honestly I probably could have gotten some outdoor action in October, maybe even November, but I was having car trouble and what's out there is not in walking distance. I'll enjoy spring and summer.

Fair warning: October is a relatively difficult time to box for safety reasons. Bears are usually still on the hunt for that last fall/summer meal, so it's best to avoid roaming the woods that time of year. Spring is messy, but the boxes are usually unfrozen from the ground by mid May if they are in a sunnier spot. We've gone out in April and they've still been quite frozen. Again, with that time of year, the bears are waking up, so avoid the deep woods ones until mid summer. Don't know if you're new here, but as lifelong residents, just thought I would throw you a few nuggets of knowledge to get you started here.

Hi and welcome to a great hobby.
We used to go out all the time in winter but now my better half (hubby) can't take the cold due to health issuessssssss....bummer. And the boxers that live closest to me don't do cold weather either......again..bummer.
Get yourself a stamp either hand made or store bought and get going! Happy holidays.

Yes, it's wise to avoid the bears, were aware. Good to talk about though.

I have officially carved myself my first signature stamp and some others. Again I'm in Alaska. Not much outdoor boxing right now.
