Thanks for the comment! It was only a twenty minute walk from the car to the camping site but I will in future! You can get an idea of how cold it is from the sqeakiness of the snow. As it cools it dries out and below -15C sounds a bit like polystyrene (Styrox). 😄
Jesus Kevin! You're nuts 🤪 😂 Glad you had a successful test though. Are you planning to repeat it using the Thermorest mattress? 😉 Also Revolution Race owe you serious commission for all the product placement you gave them on this video 👌😊
I am not sure if I will repeat it at those temperatures although after this experience, I threw the Trekology UL80 into the back of my gear cupboard and it can fecking stay there! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks! There was about a 5cm gap at the bottom of the tarp along the sides. I sometimes pile up snow along the windward edge to cut the worst wind ingress but leave the lee side(s) open to allow air exchange.
Hi. Well spotted. There were 3 carabiners attached to the ridgeline. 2 to pull out the tarp with Prusik knots. The third one (red, near the lifting pole) was attached to a string which kept the door flap held back. I used very thin nylon cordage in a Prusik to hold it in place. I added 2 of these Prusiks recently to my ridgeline so I can attach and stretch out the bug net on my DD Frontline hammock rather than using the longer shock cords tied to the biner between the tree hugger straps and whoopie slings. Hope that answers your question? 😊
It's great that they have those little shelters to use in winter. I have always wanted to try winter hammock camping, I hope to get to it one day, your adventure looked like fun!!.. Ok, I have to ask, how in the world did you make that subscribe video? that's sssooo cool!!! Subscribed to see more of your adventures!
@MikeBabsBC Hi and welcome to the channel! Yes, the lean-to shelter or laavu is a great resource for shelter all year-round. My adventure was indeed fun, it would have been even more fun if I had brought a winter sleeping pad with me. 😀 The subscribe clip is just done by 'writing' the letters with my head torch and using the "light painting" setting with time lapse mode on my GoPro 11. It took several attempts to get it right.
@@snowcelt For me, it's not a camping trip until I forget *AT LEAST* 1 thing hahaha. That's so cool. I'll have to get me one of those cameras. You did a great job with it. See you in future videos!
Yes that looked chilly 👍❄️🙂
Interesting setup
Nice camp. Greetings from USA
Much appreciated! 👍
Another good one. Could you add more footage of the walk to and from the camp? There's just about the sound of the snow crunching under foot.

The next video will be out on the 25th of Feb. It's an attempt at an ASMR camping video.
@@snowcelt I look forward to it.

Thanks Niall! It worked out Ok I guess. Yeah, I am like a walking ad for RR. They make pretty good stuff though and it doesn't break the bank.

What was the line with the carabiners attached to your ridgeline for? What was the purpose of that?
