did my first backing pack trip last night, made a ton of mistakes. biggest one was not having semi-decent winter gear. i was pretty miserable trying to sleep, and it only got down to about 28 degrees. that and also having about 40lb total pack weight, it was a short overnight, about 9 miles total and by the end i was feeling every ounce of that pack. gotta make some major adjustments. your videos help a beginner a ton, keep it up!

oh wow. well props to you for getting out there! you'll get better, and always learn little things from every outing. thanks for watching

I'm over IPAs. Good full lagers and ales now. You asked for tips lol. Think puffy. Oversized boots with added foam insole. Bag your foot to keep socks and boot dry. Sleep with your inner boot liner. Bring booties suitable for snow at camp. Put the closed cell pad on top. Overlayering will keep hands and feet warmer. Base layers are key. 3 and you can pee outside your tent at night in a second. Layers must fit over the previous one loosely especially down vests and jackets. Buy an XXL jacket and windbreaker to fit over 7 layers. Great video Bryce. Cool tarp pitch. You kept the camera working!

The pink is a great color for a number of reasons, such as easy to see out of the corner of your eye, easy to find in low light (because it probably stands out from the rest if your gear), it's a great reminder of your feminine energy and why you connect with nature in the first place, and your ego-based buddies won't steal it. ;)

Hello 👋 Bryce, greetings from Northern California. Thanks for sharing another fine video. I like your tarp set up. The best to you for a quick and thorough recovery of the injured finger. Stay safe out there. 🤗

Fun outing! Tarps are awesome. Digging that sweater too. I’ve started to use alpaca wool socks when sleeping in the cold. Picked up a pair from Apple Hill alpaca farm here in NC. They’ve definitely helped keep my toes warm.

Bor'-e-al. ☺ Nice job on the firewood. I like the pulk idea. I'll probably buy or make on after my hot tent comes in. Will help to get the beer out there as long as the terrain allows for it. Try some vapor barrier socks under your regular socks. I got some from Warmlite years ago and they only recently wore to the point that they needed to be replaced. Bread bags under socks do the same thing. Keeps the sweat out of your socks and maintains their thermal efficiency.

Great video Bryce, wish I had a place like that to go winter camping!

Brought me back to a few weeks. I bought a mortar mixer I got at Lowes and made it into a sled. I went to Mohican and stayed at site 9 where I saw you a couple years ago. I took my hot tent out for the first time and it was an awesome. Coming up that hill on the way out wasn't fun though with all the weight. I need to get out and do some tarp stuff again. Thinking a large tarp setup with my hammock. Once where I can still have a fire pretty close. Ideas are brewing. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed it!

Mohican my favorite spot.

That sled looks just about long enough to sleep in. I think I could cut and modify the back end with a hinge, so it flips down and you could put in your pad and sleeping bag. Then you would just some cover.

Nice tarp pitch! I can't remember what it's called but I've tried it a few times... I think it works better with a rectangle tarp than square. I stayed in the backyard this same weekend and hit 12* in the hammock. Tacoma club!

By the way the best way of not being cold is to use the Norwegian Iceman thermal suit you will not be disappointed matter of fact you can wear almost 10 times as less than what you did already and it is extremely flexible Not to mention made entirely of recycled shredded pulverized micro plastic fibers You will ( NOT ) be getting cold in this suit that is definitely for certain
