@@XVDLR Cold weather hikes my pack is heavier anyway so why not celebrate with some more weight. I like your bottle beer idea too what the heck....go all out.
Hey Xavier, (as I said in Milan during Montagna Festival 2018) thanks for the inspiration and for this web serie. I reckon I will go snow camping this season! I would love you to share some tips about food, both before and during a backcountry exploration. It is always hard to plan your meals on the go and I'm sure you have some great advice (salame is already well known for us italians tho so you can give it for granted).
Hola Michele, I love that side of things and it's super important for the mind most of all.. haha I will think about what i can do and prepare a little something. Take care!
Excellent video. I would add that you should exercise, try to pee, and change into dry clothing before going to bed. On really cold nights, wear your extra insulation layers. I use an alpine bag with no zippers and a disproportionate insulation between the legs/feet and torso. It is intended to be used with your puffy jacket. It's light and packs extremely small.
Great video! Question for you or any other viewers. With a freestanding tent like he is using, do you take down the tent body at all or just put it down and stake down the fly only?
Hello, not sure if I will ever get answer anyways :) I find riding with backpack quite difficult. When I pack everything it weights 9-9,5 kg. So when I am riding it weights bit less since I am wearing jacket, helmet a gloves. Still that 8 Kg on my back totaly wrecks my riding form :) How much your daily pack weights ? Do you change your body position while riding I mean to compensate weight on back?
Hey, You need to ride more conservative with your leaning. The weight needs to be perfectly above your board and you should not lean your upper body forward. Hope that helps... Xv
Instead of wool socks wear 3 mm neoprene divers socks over thin poly sock liners. The divers socks serve as VBLs (Vapor Barrier Liners) and they keep your boot liners DRY and WARM all day. Take a pair of poly liners for each day you will be out. ->Put used poly liners in a ZipLoc freezer bag at the end of the day and seal tightly. Turn the divers socks inside-out to dry for 15 - 20 minutes then put them in the foot of your sleeping bag (with your boot liners) to stay warm for morning. Telescope boot shell tops over each other to prevent spin drift snow from getting inside and place in your tent vestibule.
Nice. My tips: leave beer at home, it is too heavy and you can survive without it...if you take some strong alcohol with you (eg cognac, whisky, brandy...you know what I mean) - it is much lighter and the effect is the same, just be careful not to drink too much. Do not melt any cheese, no one will want to wash the dishes. Use jetboil or similar system, otherwise melting of snow will take ages and is inefficient (ie you need to carry more gas). Dirty hands can be easily and very effectively cleaned with the snow. BUT, this does not apply to your bottom parts (too delicate). Think about the nature when using paper napkins (burn them). Take night thick wool socks for sleeping. Always take the down jacket. Use that jetboil to make a fire if there is no birch around. Etc...
Nice video xavier! but you should have chosen me por the translation to spanish! not google haha it is tooo literal. At least someone who did any snow sport and was acquainted with te expressions!! Regards from Madrid!
Hi Chechu Alonso, We have a friend who lives in the mountains and does the Italian and Spanish subtitles for us, although Spanish is not their first language, we are really happy with the work they are doing, but my level is not good enough to see the nuances - but do you feel that the subtitles really do not convey the right message? Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated. XV
I would not recommend to put anything moist/wet inside of your sleeping bag with intention to let it dry out there, Deffinately not for multi-day adventures. The moisture from it would build-up in the insulation of sleeping bag and that's not something you really would like to experience.
Hey Karel, Thanks for your comment, I have found that my boot liners dry out a bit - but they are not really "wet". It definitely helps for putting them on in the morning that they are not frozen blocks. I have always camped in pretty cold conditions so the moisture doesn't really build up, but if you are out camping in the woods and getting soaking wet then I totally agree not to put your wet jacket in the bottom of your bag! Hope that clarifies what I mean. XV
Man these are some addicting videos
I am ABSOLUTELY putting this on my bucket list including the fondue cheers guys you earned a new subscriber
fondue never thought of that as backpacking food what a fantastic idea
Granola bars probably weigh a little less, but when family camping... you got to celebrate!

Nice one man! Cant wait to get out in the Pyrenees for some winter camping this season!
this man literally took his whole fam and had fondue while camping in the snow on a mountain peak
All about sharing the experience!!
Great video, thanks.
Perfect!

wow. tnf triarch in the mountains? not worried about it being too fragile for mountain weather?
merci
You can use some plastic bags that have a wide base and a seal to pee in . Take less room than a bottle .
Je veux bien la recette de la fondue !

What if you don't have skis or a snow board for packing down the snow?
It will just take you a lot longer... but you can do it by foot.

Thank you.
Надо будет попробовать))

awesome matus. I will hire you I think! thanks for the great tips!
@@xavierdelerue537 thank you xavier, i am hired!
Model of the SOL blanket?
Hi, I am afraid I don't know the brand, I normally just grab one in my local ski store, I think they are all much the same. Hope that helps. XV
@@XVDLR thanks for the reply!greetings from Greece
what´s the name of the model on the tent?
it's a Mountain 25
from The north face
Cool, love to go...when can i join u xavier ;-)
bro can I trek with you ?
Haha, sure you will find me in the mountains!
Even for women there are adapters like pee funels. So they can also use a pee bottle
True that… my wife says they require a bit of training apparently- Try them in a shower before a tent is what her research says!!

True that!
