BOZEMAN As winter weather begins to set in, some of Bozeman's urban campers are preparing for the cold weather, especially as urban camping laws are set to change."Its been rough out here, its not easy. Everybody makes this seem like glamping you know, glamorous camping. And its not glamorous," says Steven Ankney, one of the people who has turned to urban camping to support himself through housing struggles. He says the new ordinance will create more challenges for campers. "Its heartbreaking, it really is heartbreaking. I take off my own jacket for other people all the time and let them have it because I dont want to see somebody else cold. Because I know what its like to be cold," Ankney says. On Oct. 22, the Bozeman City Commission made what Interim City Manager Chuck Winn says was a difficult decision to approve an ordinance to phase out urban camping in the next year."This started during the pandemic, and prior to the pandemic, we didnt allow camping on our streets. It was certainly a traumatic event for our whole country, really for the whole world. And so, what happened there, were having to walk back now, and thats not an easy process to do," says Winn.WATCH PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Urban campers react to Bozeman's proposed 30-day permit program What are urban campers' thoughts on Bozeman's proposed 30-day permit program?The new ordinance will prevent campers from parking near waterways, place limits on noise and excess trash, and will now require campers to have a permit.Winn says, "I believe this new ordinance gives us tools that we didnt have before.

"Im hoping, hoping and praying to God that I'm out of this next year," Ankney says. "This is my last winter here, I hope."
