Hi Madison, the major artery between your legs and groin area is the femoral artery. As a novice, I didn't realize placing a Nalgene bottle there will keep you warm. Great tip. Thank you.

[@LionessHiker]

Please share a video about all of your dog gear.

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Absolutely, video coming soon

@@MadisonClysdalee thank you so much!

When you use sleeping pads, a good idea is to get battery powered tiny pump (flextail tiny pump x) so it inflates sleeping pad for you. It is charged like smart phone through USB and is small, battery lasts for few inflates (i never ran out of battery yet)

I don't have a four season tent either. Been winter camping for four winters now in New England. I'm not going to invest in one either. Have gone down to 13 degrees. I used my less expensive Eureka tent in winter because it has fabric and mesh, which helps hold more heat in. My tent is usually 10-15 degrees warmer than the outside temp. Hike on.

Right on Bradley, thanks for sharing!

I,ve learned a lot from you already Madison, yes i would like to know how you keep Kyro warm in Winter, he really enjoys camping and walking with you, great video, thanks

[@chrishiking8818]

Very good video, well explained indeed . Spend many times in snow holes or under bashas in the snow too . But what you said was great

[@elijah32503]

Thank you for sharing your story. It is beautiful.

[@sailingnstuff]

Hey! You're in Kelowna. That's so cool. I was watching the video muted until I saw Mt.Boucherie in the background and got excited. There are so many cool camping/backpacking spots.

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Awesome, thanks for watching! :):)

This was so well put together & helpful!!

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Thank you!

[@victorkonstantin]

Hi. Awesome video. I think the Nemo Kunai would be a nice option. It's not too heavy for a winter tent but much stronger and warmer. Also a 3 season tent it's ok but will not withstand an unpredictable snow storm.

[@bigalno1]

Hi I live in Manitoba I love camping with my 23 foot travel trailer, it is a simple one no slide outs. I found you about two weeks ago and am happy I did love seeing your videos. When me and my dog Henry go camping it is usually with friends who only want to drink something I have not liked. I love going hiking with Henry and that is what I will do now since Henry is a lab and boxer mix and is always full of it. So next summer me and Henry will go somewhere we like and fish and hike thanks for the videos Madison

I just found you and can't wait for more videos! I love the tips and tricks! Would you consider making videos on your favorite gear for different seasons backpacking/hiking? Or like gear pros and cons or comparisons 🖤✨

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Thank you so much! This is a great idea I will do this

[@ncadventurer9924]

[@lilymckenzie4692]

Hey! I’ve just watched this video as I’m going on a hike myself in a couple weeks and need a good coat for it, I was wondering if you could say what brand the blue coat you are wearing in this is? Also love your videos so much, so helpful ❤
