Sleeping bags are rated not for hours of comfort, but survival. In really cold weather, your body's moisture will be pushed through the bag's insulation, but as it reaches the outer shell, it will usually freeze on the inside of the shell. The longer you spend in the bag, the more your moisture will build up, slowly reducing the bag's insulating ability. Every morning, it's a good idea to air out your bag (unless it's raining, of course) and beat the ice crystals out of it. Otherwise, each successive night the bag will get colder. I'm no longer in good enough condition to do any winter mountaineering, but it's good to see younger folks camping in the high-country snow.
Here in Norway they have a 3 temp rating, upper, comfort and extreme. A quick search found sleepingbags down to -49 F comfort temp. they are made for expeditions like Mt Everest etc so they are slightly pricy at around 1500 usd but you keep warm and dry even in pretty harsh conditions as they are obv made for.
It depends on if it’s women’s or men’s. Women’s are comfort rated and men’s are lower limit rated and the ratings might not match the number in the name of the bag. But this is a really good tip
We dont have that here in Norway, women or men's dont mather. They all have 3 values and womens values are higher by 10C. I am sure people can find celcius-Fahrenheit convertion and see how much that is in F if they are interested.
MAV, usually I completely understand what your videos are meant to say but this one left me. Hiking, snow, cold, firewood, fires, boiling water, mountaintop views ... I get it but glad I'm watching this from Sunny Florida and my comfortably warm Class A Motorcoach. 18 previous years of living in MinneSNOWta (and West Virginia before that) taught me to seek comfortable adventures now. I'm glad your trip went well and you had other friends alongside you.
@CodyB696 ManiSNOWba, love that. We're first cousins from a common "Kingship Uncle", decades ago in ENGLAND 😄. We, of course, were the rebellious ones 😉.
Lean on the Lord. Jesus can and will help you. Put your Trust in him. He Loves you so much. He is your Blessed Hope. Our Blessed Hope, our Savior Jesus Christ. Do you know him? Do "you", ("whoever" is reading this), know Jesus? Even more, are you "Saved"? If Jesus were to return today, "now", would you be ready? Are you ready? That is the one question that you, and everyone, better know the answer to, because that is the most important decision you will ever make. Jesus is the "ONLY WAY TO SALVATION". There is no other way, "none". This "life" that you are living now, is a "limited" existence. The life after this is "ETERNAL", which brings us to another question: "Where do you want to spend eternity?" Well, you have only "two" choices: either "HEAVEN" or "HELL"! Not everyone will go to Heaven and likewise not everyone will go to Hell. It's your choice! It's always been your choice. Have you ever wondered why we all don't go to Heaven? Well, it's because of just one thing. But that "one" thing "separates" us all from God, and that one thing, is "SIN"! We are all born into sin, everyone is, and the Bible says that the wages (penalty) of sin is "Death". You see, because of our sins, when we all die, we are all "eternally separated" from God. But you know what? God Loves you so much that he made a way for you, for all of us. The Bible also teaches us that even though the penalty (wages) for our sins is death, we can gain SALVATION (a GIFT FROM GOD) through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. God made a way! He sacrificed his only son, for "you"! That's how much he Loves you. ROMANS 6:23 kjv For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Here's the GOOD NEWS, (THE GOSPEL) Jesus took your sins and paid your sin debt in full. He took all your sins, past, present and future, to the Cross, shed his Blood and literally DIED for your sins, was buried and then God raised him from the dead three days later. Anyone who believes in the finished work of Jesus Christ will be Saved. That's THE GOSPEL (which means GOOD NEWS). 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 kjv 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. He paid the price so you don't have to. Jesus is the ONLY ONE who could. He is the ONLY WAY. JOHN 14:6 kjv 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. God gives you, all of us, this "GIFT", because he Loves you. How much does God Love you? Well, let me ask you this: "Could you sacrifice your only child?" That is exactly what our Heavenly Father did. He gave (sacrificed) his only begotten son, Jesus, for "you", for the "WHOLE WORLD"! JOHN 3:16-18 kjv 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Please, don't let Gods "sacrifice" (for you) be in vain. Jesus "died" for you. Please "Live" (eternally) for him.
Yep I watch him usually around when I’m getting into bed, I then spend the next 2-3 hours just relaxing and enjoying going in these adventures with him!
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Always entertaining and interesting. Plus some great food recipes from you and other awesome viewers!! Stay safe brother!! Brian.
I literally just got home from a 9 day hunt/camp. But I'm in Florida!!!! Dude, this ain't no joke man. Those temperatures are very serious!! Well done gentlemen!!!
@@parkerwebb3470 no actually very mild this time of year. 50s at night, high mid to upper 60s. Low 70s. It rained for 14 hours straight on t Thursday though, makes it very hard to hunt/camp but I toughed it out. Waa on bucks almost every evening!! Nothing like 12 degrees these boys endured though 🥶🥶
Hey Mav, would love it if you could do a video about the electrical setup in your truck. How your fridge is wire to your batteries, etc. Pretty sure a lot of folks would enjoy that.
The way you interact with the camera makes me feel like you’re talking directly to me and like I’m right there with you out there experiencing this! It’s very cool, and comforting. When you get all cozy and ready for bed it has me feeling ready for bed too🤣 So i often find myself watching your videos when I’m getting ready to sleep
Hello, just wanted to say Jesus loves you. All you have to do to be saved if not already is repent of your sins and continue to repent every time you sin. Whatever you might be going through He is always with you. Pray to Him every day and witness and pray to the lost He is coming soon
I used to hunt with my brother and we would sit back to back… one year we didn’t see anything until we lit a fire to keep warm .. deer hunting in Pennsylvania… we saw more deer than you could ever imagine… but at the time it was bucks only, all we saw was doe.
I rode horseback and herded cattle in Gunnison Forrest with a real cowboy when i was like 18, my uncle knew a guy at his church who lived in a cabin the mountains and took cattle pasture to pasture like 6 months out of the year till winter then he went back to his city house. Its was so awesome, one of the best things ive ever experienced. It was exhausting but so much fun and a great experience.
I detected a little bit of labored breathing with that altitude. I went through the same thing in June when I camped at 10,500 feet in northeastern Arizona. My brother and his wife had been up there for about a month, so they were used to it. As for me, I thought the hikes were going to do me in. Can't wait to see where you take us next. Keep on donkey riding, I mean, Trucking!

When I went elk hunting with my dad. We live on the oregon coast and when we hunted an area like that. We went down around the bowl where the elk were. We never just sat on top looking down on them. Guess thats why my dad got his elk every year. For the last 30 years, I can just look out my windows of my 1916 farmhouse in our valley and see 60 elk pretty much everyday. There also has been plenty of times I've had to chase 30 or more elk out of my yard. Its amazing how many directions 30 elk can go when a 64 year old lady comes out of her house yelling and chasing them. Country exercise, is what I call chasing the deer and elk out of my yard. Have also chased the black bears and bobcats out too. The wild animals have thousands of acres around my 3.2 to eat and roam. They dont need to eat the stuff I've worked planting and tending to the past 30 years. 😊
North Carolina, Fort Bragg, middle of December, SF Land Nav course with a 40lbs ruck, negative temps… on your ruck back to the truck, you felt some of what we felt. We live for this s**t haha! Wish you would have bagged a big one for the channel!
elk hunting is intense and if they bagged one they would have had to quarter it and haul that 800 lb monster out. crazy that my dad did it for years in CO.

Hey Maverick, the scenery was beautiful but I don’t think I could do eight days in that cold. You guys were amazing staying out there in the long hikes with the heavy backpacks but you made it back safe and sound. Hopefully you’ll get an elk you guys be safe out there♥️🙏✌️🪵🔥❄️😎🏔️
I’m glad you didn’t go alone. The food looked good for dehydrated stuff. You didn’t say who made it. I hiked in the Rockies many years ago. Very exhilarating. Great video.
My dad survived the Chosin Reservoir battle in the Korean War. 30 below zero. He said the key was to change your socks often and be drying the damp ones to get ready for the next change. The cold was hard on them. The 60,000 Chinese troops didn’t help either!
Right at the beginning at 0:30 when she said beautiful day for a ride, all those birch trees looked so pretty!! Im from NH and weve got alot of birch trees here too!! You can write on their bark!!😁😁
Granted I know he probably has more gear with the camera stuff I found it funny how his friends hiked up there but he got a whole horse ride and escort with all his stuff 😂
Invest in some sock liners. They wick the moisture away from your feet, so your feet stay dry, which means they stay warm, even if your socks get a little damp. Glove liners do the same thing. Any undergarments that wick moisture away from your skin will help a lot.
Thank you for taking us on another great adventure. From trail rides in Montana/Wyoming, look for dry wood you can break by hand. A pit fire great for Dutch oven cooking

They make folding bowsaws now. The mechanical advantage and efficiency/effectiveness of a good bowsaw cannot be adequately conveyed by words. You have to use one to fully appreciate it.
Love this Mav. Hope to see you do more of this. Would love to see more hunt and gathers with opefully some meals made from the harvest going forth one day!
That was a very poorly planned trip. Live on instant crap food for 8 days and no proper place to sleep. These guys also have no clue on how to hunt big game. Should have hired a professional guide.

Every Ber months i go back to your channel just to watch while working at home.
Granted I know he probably has more gear with the camera stuff I found it funny how his friends hiked up there but he got a whole horse ride and escort with all his stuff 😂
Hes rich, 1st class treatment. Lol
He probably took a lot of thier stuff too, said he had 2 more horses loaded with gear. If I was the hikers, I would've asked him to.
I’ve went with my brothers elk hunting a few times. Even if ya don’t get one, the experience is worth it. Such beautiful country.
You were in my neck of the woods… looks like Grand or Jackson county.
Mav: "We did it!", the other guys secretly thinking "did what?!..no elk.."
feel lucky to go on packtrips a couple times a year. not an accessable trip to many. been doing them 20 years
I love how you all are camouflaged out then there’s you with a bright orange beanie. Hahaha.
Awesome video as usual Mav. Keep killing it!
Invest in some sock liners. They wick the moisture away from your feet, so your feet stay dry, which means they stay warm, even if your socks get a little damp. Glove liners do the same thing. Any undergarments that wick moisture away from your skin will help a lot.
Thank you for taking us on another great adventure. From trail rides in Montana/Wyoming, look for dry wood you can break by hand. A pit fire great for Dutch oven cooking
Hello, just wanted to say Jesus loves you. All you have to do to be saved if not already is repent of your sins and continue to repent every time you sin. Whatever you might be going through He is always with you. Pray to Him every day and witness and pray to the lost He is coming soon
Just awsome Mav, never seen you hunt, just fish n camp so this was very cool, stay safe,
As hard as life gets. Mav can take the pain away for just a little while.
Always bring an extra pair of socks when you go hiking!
Love your videos mav keep on trucking love you from Georgia ❤
They make folding bowsaws now. The mechanical advantage and efficiency/effectiveness of a good bowsaw cannot be adequately conveyed by words. You have to use one to fully appreciate it.
Love the backpacking content beautiful views love the adventure!
What a great episode. I’m watching this in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado too 😂
All making dinner with their gas stove in a front of a wood fire 😂
One time I watched this video and fell asleep what a snooze
Hey Mav, thanks for the content as usual, and safe travels
The Mavster is alive and well!!
Fairly new subscriber but just wanted to wish you a happy holidays Mav!
Awesome vid!
For winter late season, get you artic shield boot covers, they work great! I throw a hand warmer in them, take my boots off, and your good all day
If Mav needs a torch at night he can just smile into the darkness, instant light!
Nice!!!! That's good stuff right there man, beautiful out in the Rockies.
Love this Mav. Hope to see you do more of this. Would love to see more hunt and gathers with opefully some meals made from the harvest going forth one day!
Man those birch forests are gorgeous.
I love how happy Mav is riding that horse in the beginning 😂
Happy to see you in my neck of the woods! Welcome!
That was a lot of gear to carry at high altitude.
Glad you are all ok.
That was a very poorly planned trip. Live on instant crap food for 8 days and no proper place to sleep. These guys also have no clue on how to hunt big game. Should have hired a professional guide.
Those looked like spruce boughs, not pine. Cool adventure.
Need a hot tent with a woodstove
Let's go the goat posted 💯💯
5 seconds in and already a banger
