      @SeanPrestonFed or most people are really taking it serious, including the "Orange twat" and the only people overreacting are those who think no one else is taking it serious. The "Orange twat" must have taken it pretty serious to stop travel well before everyone else. You remember, back when the mainstream parrots called him racist for doing so. Perhaps we all realize the serious risks to those with compromised immune system and other health problems and the majority of people are taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and their loved ones, to their best ability. Oh and without feeling that it's necessary to tell the world every 5 seconds how serious they're taking it. Here's something else to consider. When someone says they want to have a country back up and running by a certain date, the key word is "want." Goals for 2020 - Use a little common sense. I know it's asking a lot.

    I hot tented for the first time this winter. Luxe tent with inner..maybe 4lbs..3W stove..same, about 4lbs. I liked it a lot. Will continue to pack and use it. HOWEVER..you do need a decent supply of wood. So either packing some, or you’re sure you can find it out on the trail. Also, it’ll warm up the tent as long as you’re awake to feed the fire. If you have nice hard wood and set the damping just right, it’ll last a while but not nearly all night. No matter what, you will feel the full brunt of the cold while sleeping. But in the morning, as long as you still have tinder/kindling/fuel, you can get warmed up again. They’re nice to cook on, as well. Awesome video! I just hiked 3 miles to my spot in the mountains of NH..you did like, over 10 miles! Badass. Weight management is important but like you said, some comfort is nice to look forward to.

    An inflated sleeping pad with a solid R rating would be a good start. Insulate you from the ground. A four season tent(not a hot tent) would be another step to take. But above all a cold weather bag (Sub zero in Fahrenheit) would be a game changer.

      I think you're onto the right idea. My Enigma down quilt is pretty warm... but maybe if i bought a summer sleeping bag, i could have a two layer outfit. Definitely need a better mattress too.

    Thank you, Forest, loving your excursions and mountain views. I like to climb around Colorado a couple times a month. Looking forward to snowshoe season soon. I plan trips and hikes out of a truck shell. I've done some 4 season pulk/tent camping at altitude in every winter month, great fun.
    My advice would be a double walled, 1 man, maybe 44 inch high dome tent. Shiny space blanket on the floor, but also suspend one from the ceiling. A 3000 BTU catalytic heater at the feet, such as my old Black Cat, makes a nice infrared bath in there. Turn it off to sleep, but with a fat sleeping bag behind you while it's on, you can take a bath in there. A black base layer soaks up the infrared and you're toasty. A single one pound bottle will have enough for a couple of evenings, and in the mornings a half hour will make it too hot to stay in the bag. You might contrive to hang your boots upside down over the heater in the morning. Heavy steel wood stove not required.

  • @emc8366
    @emc8366 4 роки тому

    For mountain winter conditions you really need a tent with a solid breathable inner (eg minimal mesh). These will better block the wind and stay warmer inside too which helps. A foam mat like a thermarest z lite sol or similar is also a good investment to put under your normal sleeping mat setup to insulate the even colder ground.
    Another tip would be to carry an avalanche shovel and dig the tent into the snow/construct a windbreak after pitching.
    Even in summer I like to carry an emergency bivy bag (orange with foil lining) that I can put inside my sleeping bag if it's getting much colder than I expected, you get a bit sweaty but if it's between you and your sleeping bag you avoid the sleeping bag getting soaked, and it will most certainly keep you warm.
