Bit of Brokeback cold weather camping hey. 😉
Cuddle buddies
LOL the minecraft drinking sounds at the start already got me XD
Dude – ICE contains sucralose. Not good for you at all…
Well, I bought the budget puffy you suggested and it’s total garbage. Terrible zipper (that’s on the wrong side), zero fill, and it’s very small. Bonus: the company’s customer service is non-existent, so I’m stuck with it. DO NOT BUY THE TREK 100!!
Since the last 3 weeks of my hike unexpectedly turned into a winter hike (temps in the teens Fahrenheit, fully frozen waterbottles in vestibule in the morning), and I only had 3-season gear, here‘s s few more tips that really worked well for me:
– get a cozy for your gas can. it is absolutely essential to be able to boil water
– make sure you bring enough fuel
– I already have a synthetic puffy that I also wear while hiking. For the night I added a down vest.
– have your dinners in a ziplock and an empty and clean dehydrated meal packet. when you reach camp, pour the boiling water in, stick it under your shirt, and set up your camp. eat after you snuggled into the sleeping bag.
– have a nalgene bottle with you, bonus points if you also made a cozy for it. fill it with hot water and take it into your sleeping bag. reheat during the night if necessary. this also has the advantage that you actually have non-frozen water to drink in the morning. I usually warm it up in the morning, stick it under the shirt, break camp and start hiking.
– obviously take all electronics and the filter into your sleeping bag.
– if you‘re using trailrunners and normal socks through snow, use oven bags over the socks to make them waterproof. they last for several days without getting any holes.
Down booties in Indonesia only 10$ = Rp 150,000
Small Parabolic gas heater, no more cold problems, total game changer, hot rubber water bottle.
The Decathlon jacket it 🔥🔥🔥
I like to put one of those silver mylar emergency blankets between the tent floor and my pad. It act as a bit of a radiant barrier to keep thermal migration down.
Quality presentation. Great information. But why the annoying background "music". It is very distracting and unhelpful. Music at start and end only!
Tried OnX…. All Trails seems to work better for me.
I gonna go camping soon thank you
Thanks for not listing what tent you have in the title.
I live in Alaska and I backpack and camp all year around. The OR down beanie is the bomb. I also use a Smartwool balaklava face mask while I sleep. I put hot hand in my boots at night, put the boots in a plastic bag inside the bottom of my sleeping bag. I slept out with no heat source before -in an expedition suit at -30F. I wore mittens too. I use a big Minute Maid Lemonaide bottle to pee in overnight. What I like best about cold weather camping and backpacking is NO BEARS.
Check out seek outside their super light stove and tent it’s a game changer 😊
RIP Appalachian gear company
This was a useful video. But Emit that accent sound . . . .is irritating. Really!
Mmm nothing like some red 40 before a hike
My god this is slow and boring…
Nothing like snuggling up to a river rock heated by the fire. Free heat that lasts all night long. Toss one in the bottom of your bag to keep your toes toasty. Just make sure it was not directly in the fire or you will burn yourself and melt the bag.
A bivvy sac is a must for cold weather camping. Especially if you are camping in a snow cave or lean to. You don’t want snow outside your bag getting it wet. And never skimp on ground covers.
Hey this was awesome. Any tips on a mitt that would work in Canadian winters. Thanks in advance
I have been a fan for quite a while now. But you guys could have titled this video more accurately by calling it redundant commercial breaks with a smidge of cold weather advice. Hopefully that trend won’t continue. 🤨
Regarding not blowing up you’re equipment yourself, your breath can leave enough moisture to cause mold under t right ( wrong?) Conditions.
You failed to mention that the ‘Vapour Liner’ for the sleeping bag also prevents your body moisture from going into the bag’s loft, and reducing its effectiveness.
For camping at -25C, mine worked quite well. I made it out of a Tyvek coverall, and lined it with Silvered Onionskin. Worked lovely!
Rather than the Vapor Barrier, I use a SOL bivy over my sleeping bag. It’s waterproof and windproof, but BREATHABLE.
starts drinking and forgets what hes drinking after like 5 seconds
In -60°F Alaskan weather I always kept my head warm with a simple beanie and turtle fur neck gaiter combo pulled up over my nose so only my eyes were uncovered. Worked great for all day long outside hiking in extreme cold weather. When ice buildup would happen from exhaling you’d shift the turtle fur gaiter around your head and by the time it got back around the ice/moisture was gone.
Lol 11:55 emits heavy breathing 😅
Very happy with the knock off microspikes
I have to say, I do really like your videos. They are lighthearted, honest, very helpful and they don’t push the typical "you have to have this high-end high dollar gear" that so many other youtubers push. You give examples and your opinion through your experience and let the viewer decide for themselves.
Great Video…check out my latest winter gear review on my channel!
I wonder how many geese were murdered for this episode geez🤣
19:38 – Brokebackpack Mountain? 😨
🤣
I swear by mini pump, down booties/balaclava, and pretty much down everything or wool everything. Just got a pair of down filled outdoor pants to add to my cold weather defense mechanism.
Was that a subtle sparkling ice product placement?? lol
why get the mini air pump instead of a pump sack?
It also doesn’t bring in moisture, it’s easy to use, fast, you can control the inflation applying more pressure, it’s small, doubles as a bag for something, cheaper, and maybe most important: doesn’t need batteries.
I see mini air pumps growing up in popularity, but I’m not understanding why.
What is a good 2 person 4seaaon tent
Oh wow Your blanket is "alpackable" lol
Does the down puffy jacket not exist anymore? There’s no link next to the label in the description. 🤔🤔🧐
if i can suggest you to not put these sound effects when there is a text in your videos. it was really annoying when i was listening to you and all of a sudden the sound of two metal scratching was really annoying.
Thank you Dan and Emmett for the great and fun videos!
I’ve been guiding in NW Montana since 1979, long before all the high tech crap people think they have to buy. This video is useless when it comes to being comfortable in the back country in winter
What about wearing wool? That stuff is magic for temp regulation
Some great advice there! excellent stuff.
We try to put grass or foliage (or hay) under the tent. Not sure whether it actually helps.
Where do you get hold of all your wimpy gear??!!
A quick tip to get your feet warm before you go to sleep. Bounce on your toes back and forth. Turn your feet around whilst balancing on the other. To get the rest of your body warm very quickly, do jumping jacks and when you are warm enough go into your sleeping bag. I bet you will sleep very well.
Your videos are seriously the best!! Thank you so much!!
Instead of sleeping bag liners, bivy sacks under another name, etc. why not just layer with the clothing you already brought in your bag? The tighter the fit to body, the warmer you’ll be!
Appalachian Gear’s alpaca wool sleeping bag liner and their hoodies are my absolute favorite cold weather backpacking gear! So incredibly warm and cozy. Loved all your tips! Thank you so much for sharing.
This isn’t mentioned as an add on but what about sleeping pad sheets? Do they add any real r value to your pads?
