Nothing beats a good steak 🥩. I admire how ultra light your gear always is. I just got back from a trip last weekend and it was damn coldddd. 🥶 a hot tent definitely helped me out 😭
yeah buddy!! there's just something about steaks on a campfire that make them especially tasty. I just try to pack with the necessities, always go with a sleeping bag or sleep system that is about 10°C warmer than the low temp and then the rest of the gear can be pretty minimal. Because if anything happens, know i have the safety of that sleeping bag! I saw you posted a video earlier today, interested to see what your hot tent looks like. I will be checking it out tonight when I get home :)
Been out a couple times already 1 time hot tent car camp with a buddy that’s never winter camped before and had all the luxurious and once myself for something a little more challenging and gratifying. Chopsticks as a fork lol I do the same thing at home. My old man eats ice cream with chop sticks😂
Nice! I am really hoping to get out a few more times in the next couple weeks while we still got the snow. I haven't invested in a hot tent yet, mainly because I dont want to lug it around with a sled 😅 and then figure out how to dry it out after I get home for storage. chop sticks are a great invention, works as a fork, spatula, tongs... a tent peg in a pinch! 😂
Not this winter, too busy unfortunately. Went out last Feb at -38...which is tough even with the wood stove. Going in March to Algonquin. How do those UL packs fare in that temp?
Yeah, it's been busy up until this past week for me as well, but hopefully I can get out more in Feb. -38 sounds brutal, the coldest i've been out is around the -30 and for that i need the winter bag + a quilt over it. A hot tent would be ideal for that, but I just haven't invested in one because I dont want to lug it around in a sled. As for the UL pack, it works fine, no issues with the materials, just have to be meticulous about how you pack things inside so: 1) it doesn't poke at your back and 2) make sure the weight distribution is good with heavy stuff in the middle near your back. if the heavy stuff is too high or low in the bag it will either feel tippy and top heavy, or you feel A LOT of weight on your legs.
Who's been out winter camping this year??? How'd it go?

thanks man! I am lucky to have a bunch of gear to choose from... but also makes me have to make the decisions on what to bring along every trip 😅
