      Hello Lars, do you know if anyone is importing the tents from PF Bereg into the European Union, that would make it much easier to order to western European countries without having to pay large customs fees. Thanks for your videos, they are an inspiration.

      I just got mine last Friday and have been in it all weekend. If you are considering this tent...don’t hesitate. It is extremely well built and is everything they claim. I am already considering a bigger one now. I got the UP-2 mini that is great for two and mats with a stove. Friend of mine came by and said he wanted to go with us so I might put this one on the market and get the UP-2 If some one is interested I also have the insulated floor for this one as well. That’s IF I decide to let it go. They are way to awesome!

Each on their own would leave a massive environmental, psychological, emotional and spiritual (pun intended,) footprint as a combined stain on nature, and as a source of a totally mixed up abuse of the human experience of living, their passing would sink into the ground and into the swamp. Getting lost in such places is easy, even if you seem to know where you are when you look around you, and it can seem that shadows of insanity, blindness and pain aren't far away when the ability to focus and think clearly is lost to this form of alcohol or encouraged by its siblings.

    For those not familiar with metric systems. A Kilometer is about 0.6 miles. So 6 kilometers is 0.6 X 6= 3.6 miles. And to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit you Multiply the temperature in Celsius by 1.8 then add 32. But if the temperature in Celsius is below 0° you nearly multiply by 1.8 So 0°C is 32°F. And -1°C is 1.8 subtracted from 32.

    When I got Fort Richardson ,on my first day as an arctic trooper, I was at the supply warehouse getting my TA 50 ,rucksack, parka ,bla,bla bla and the supply Sargent handed me a pair of arctic mittens,they had gauntlets that came up to my elbows and had this brown fake fur on the backs , so asked the Sargent what that was for and he said ,well when it’s -30 F and your nose is running like a leaky faucet,you aren’t going to take them off to blow your nose . Theses mittens would work well for driving the crawler at-17 C , that gear I had kept me warm in some god awful cold weather, getting off C130 transport planes,with the engines running,or getting in and out of helicopters at -40 F . Another year of rehab and getting back in shape and I’ll be in the woods again, I’ve had both hips replaced, the doctor told me no down hill skiing and cross country might not be a great idea,but I think a set of those skis you have might be just right ,I hate snowshoes, great video Lars.

    I don't think most people realize just how much difference a tent can make in cold weather. I've had similar results with heating my tent, even though mine is of lesser quality than yours. Yes, winter temperatures in my area rarely get below -5 degrees C, but the higher humidity can make cold air quite painful. So, in winter, I always carry a small wood-fired heater with my tent, just as you did here.

No nonsense winter camping trying to stay warm using a worn out wool blanket or a +40 sleep system. What's the deal on wolves there? Open season like where I am? Not that they are that easy to find or even get a glimpse of. I think you have a better chance of sighting old Sasquatch than plug a wolf. Always good videos my friend, stay warm and happy it's getting short time for winter.
