Camping in Temperatures Colder Than Your Gear Rating (4k UHD)

- In this video, I show you what it’s like to be camping in temperatures colder than your gear rating. On this particular trip, the weather forecast was for 0ºF (-18ºC). The storm unexpectedly cleared, dropping temperatures to nearly -30ºF (-34ºC). I only brought gear rated to 0ºF (-18ºC). It was an extremely long, tough night. I had some nerve damage in my feet from a month from inadequate insulation. This is a video to show you that it’s best to bring gear rated 20ºF (16ºC) better than the possibly lowest temperature you expect. This will help prevent injury and pain. I love camping in the cold and I’m highly experienced. That said, I was caught off guard by relying on the weather forecast, so use this video as a cautionary tale.

I'm hiking & overnighting in the Sierras, normally. Between 8,500'-10,000' & thanks to you, I've never been cold at night in large part because of my XTherm inflatable air mattress & my Western Mountaineering Antelope (GWS outer). Your videos helped me decide on the Western Mountaineering Antelope for the weather I'm likely to overnight in.
I spent several cold miserable nights B4 in a Brand of Sleeping bag that shall remain nameless that just wasn't rated for the cold temperatures I was sleeping in.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
Great to know you're enjoying the outdoors more. Stay safe!
Very interesting video! I've had that painful tingling experience a few times surfing in New England, interesting to learn that there is a specific temperature threshold for that to happen. One time it got pretty bad while I was changing out of my wetsuit in flip flops on snow (pretty smart, I know 😅), and it took a few weeks for my feet to feel right again. Very unnerving!
Thanks for sharing. Glad your feet recovered!
I am holding your book "Adventure Expedition One". Recommending everyone. Thanks for another great video.
Awesome, thank you!
My new book, The Most Crucial Knots to Know, is now available: amzn.to/3e21OF7
Man, you have an incredible temperament. You are just chill in all circumstances. So many people would be panicking if they went through that experience. Have you always been that way? Was it something you developed?
It's something I've worked on. I could laugh or I could cry. I prefer to laugh when things go wrong. This assumes I'm by myself. Some people get really mad when others laugh at bad conditions, as not everyone takes it the right way.
Crying when things go wrong froze my eyelashes together-I speak from experience. Being blind is a bit of an issue in these conditions. Being chill (or even laughing) is a lot easier to deal with. The emotions of panic or freaking out eats huge amounts of energy, causes serious mistakes, and leads to poor decision making. YMMV.
Thanks for watching!
@@ALinsdau Thank you. This will be very helpful to me in hiking and the rest of life.
@@ALinsdau this applies about a million times over in the ocean. Positive attitude and focus will get you much farther than panic and desperation!
Great video, but wow that’s cold🥶
Thanks for watching!
I've slept outside in -15 degrees with a Walmart bag called artic shield I had about 3 or four fleece blankets from goodwill stuffed inside i had no idea it was that cold out lol I always keep the 3 blankets inside no matter the temps in the winter so I don't have to get up and make adjustments trust me this was not a backpack adventure though lol I was just sleeping outside if it were a backpack adventure I'd probably buy something like the cinnabar -40 western mountaineering -40 north face -40 or star fire UL -40 all are great bags
Thanks for watching.
It is amazing to see how what it seems to be a "minor" planning error, could results in a person loosing a finger or two... not far from home!
Very true. I could see my home from the top of the ridge line. Not far from home at all.
To get to this spot, check out my Jackson Hole Hiking Guide: amzn.to/36bdsK6
and look for the hike labeled Lower Valley Energy Ridge in the book.
@@ALinsdau Thanks! It would be very cool to hike around those places, "unfortunately" I'm from Italy 😅
Al, what camera were you using? My GoPro batteries die in the cold. Your camera video batteries appear to have lasted in the cold.
Sony RX100 VA. The batteries last about 10 minutes in the cold if I can't keep them warm. I keep my camera buried in my sleeping bag and jacket. Check out my video on keeping electronics working:

GoPros just can't handle the cold. I bought 8 batteries for my Hero 8 just to deal with that issue.
Did you say where you were camping in this video?
So if you know it is going to be around 0°F then prep for 20°F-30°F. to not bring a tarp only for a shelter in this situation and take care of your head, feet and fingers.
Jackson, WY.
Since it was going to be 0ºF, I should've prepped for -20ºF and brought my Puma sleeping bag. The frozen ground with little snow is a real problem for shelters like my Hilleberg tunnel tents. Only my basic Coleman or my MSR Hubba would've worked for the frozen ground. The light snow cover but frozen ground is a tough circumstance to deal with.
What boots were you wearing...
Vasques.
