    part of my winter bed in the house is 2 alpaca blankets. after watching your video they may wander into the vehicle. decades ago i had a military training exercise in feb. wound up being the lone wolf, slept by myself. what i did was place my shelter half over myself for a larger space around my body & head. gave me the breathing room i needed.

      It's only takes 30 seconds to get into this system. Also, I would rather tell my grandkids one day about the times I spent camping in the winter. These are the kind of experiences that stick with you a lot more than staying in a hotel.

  • @gregparrott
    @gregparrott 11 дней назад

    You have quite an ingenious and versatile system, and it's obvious that it works. I don't have your level of experience, but I found that if it snows even lightly, a bivy is unpleasant. I waste time trying to keep my mouth positioned to breath while limiting snow flakes from entering. Placing fabric on top is also awkward. A light but very wind capable, single wall tent by MSR is my personal preference. Its protection eases dressing between the sleeping bag and outside if there's precipitation or strong winds and protects the boots and pack. But your system helps to maintain better discipline in packing only what's needed. I found a no name, very loose fitting fleece balaclava to be my preferred head protection. It also keeps the bag cleaner Your alpaca poncho is especially intriguing. There are three animals with similar insulating fur - lama, alpaca, and vicuna. All three offer excellent insulation. Allegedly, vicuna is the best. I've never even seen a product advertised using any of these animal's fur. Do you know of a source offering these?

    • @wildwest_woodscraft

  • @C.O._Jones
    @C.O._Jones 15 дней назад

    I must ask - what is the allure of sleeping outdoors in temperatures that can kill you? The only pluses I can see is that in winter there are no bugs or snakes, and bears are hibernating.

    • @wildwest_woodscraft
      @wildwest_woodscraft 14 дней назад

      Because where I live, it gets below freezing 6 months out of the year, so I want to be able to be comfortable in the cold. Also, doing hard and dangerous things is fun. I enjoy doing things that are hard and require mental and physical toughness.

    • @C.O._Jones
      @C.O._Jones 14 дней назад

      Oh, wow! Yes, there’s no way I would want to stay indoors that much of the time, either. I can relate to enjoying doing hard things, too, though not the dangerous part - but men and women usually differ on the appeal of that one 😄. Enjoy the challenge!

    • @wildwest_woodscraft
      @wildwest_woodscraft 14 дней назад

      I definitely agree. In my opinion, safety always comes at a cost to freedom, so I don't mind a little danger in life. I have also done a lot of training to know how to survive in extreme environments.

    I have a complete 1990s Canadian military surplus sleeping system. Absolutely rock solid system. All 3 components of the sleeping bag tie together (or not). Flannel liner an inner and outer goose down bag with a total -40 rating. There is a Gumby looking hat that has two elastic bands that fit under your armpit so the wind can’t blow it off. All this was in a stuff bag that also doubles as a water bag. I Also got 5” rubber air mattress that also doubles as a raft for your pack and a ground cover sheet that can be used as a string line shelter. Not the lightest thing but my truck has no problem carrying it. Oh recently I bought a bivi bag similar to yours. Love it. Thankx for sharing.

    See you have put a lot of thought into your system. Nice. Do have a minor gripe: You got me seasick, well maybe a bit dizzy. In the future suggest you use a tripod. I don't need to watch your hands as they pull stuff out of your pack and stuff it into the bivy. A stable point of view is much easier way to observe without distraction. The previous comment used the word scalability. Very apt.
