I see your point about using body heat to dry damp clothes. I do the same for trousers but find it very uncomfortable to keep wet clothes on my upper body. So I immediately change to a dry (and warm) baselayer and put the damp one in a silnylon bag that goes into my sleeping bag. That way it's warm in the morning and I put it on just before I pack my sleeping bag and start hiking.

Thank you....I learned a few new tricks.

You gotta make an insulated sleeve for your food, so it doesn't lose heat whilst rehydrating. I made mine out of an Amazon bubble wrap envelope and a zip lock bag. Costs next to nothing, weighs next to nothing.

Brilliant!!

Good choice of tent. Before I got the X-Mid solid inner, I only had a gen1 X-Mid. I did go snowshoe backpacking with it and worked surprisingly well. I used it with the inner mesh tent and also without. Both methods worked well. I've also carried a tarp in snow season which increases the covered area for activities.

@KaneDoesOutdoors

9 ай бұрын

My preference is without an inner, typically with a square pyramid. As you said the gen 1 mesh inner will work fine, it just doesn't offer any real benefits in the winter except for having a fitted floor to the tent. Some people prefer that vs sleeping directly on the snow - which takes some getting used to. The x-mid family really does pitch easily, and I don't have to mess around tying two poles together as I do with my MSR Front Range mid. Bonus - there's no pole in the middle of the living space.

Always liked the shoulder seasons but got away, sort of, with not taking them seriously because the western U.S. is so arid. Finally got a decent ventilated anorak and rain pants. The gear upgrade can sometimes prevent a cold and wet situation -- but now it can also serve to mitigate the problem when, not if, it happens. Any other attitude is simply being unprepared!

So you keep the wet layer/raingear/puffy mix on for sleeping? I kinda like that idea, have to try it, because I really dont like changing clothes, especially in the morning. Quick tip that feels awesome: After you poured hot water into the meal, stick it in a ziplock and under your shirt as close to the body as you can. Free body warmup and the meals rehydrate better. Or even better on multiday trips, repackage all meals in freezer ziplocks and only bring one clean dehydrated meal bag for insulation, pour water in the ziplock, stick it in the clean insulation bag and under your shirt.

I'll check it out!

Stove operation and boil time aren't effected by air temperature. They are effected by fuel temperature. A good way of keeping your stove operating properly in colder temps is to keep the canister warmer. When I get to camp, the first thing I do is put my can in my jacket pocket to warm it with my body. I also bring a small neoprene coozie to put the canister in when I'm using it to keep it from cooling down to much. And finally, because the can cools itself as fuel leaves it, I don't try to boil more than a couple liters of water at a time. These have allowed me to use canister stoves effectively and consistently down to -16C/0F.

The only downside of a closed up tent at low temps is heaps of condensation, but temps below freezing the stuff will at least freeze and be easy to shake out.

@KaneDoesOutdoors

I was out this past weekend and just used the X-mid without the inner - definitely prefer that approach. You get more room and the frost even easier to shake off in the morning.

This is what I do with my wet layer. I take out my dry layer, quickly take off my wet layer (skin exposed or base layer, whatever you have for the moment) put on my dry layer then put my wet layer over everything. I found it more effective then waiting for the wet layer to dry out, freezing balls for a few minutes and having fresh dry layers on cold body is my choice. I would like to hear your opinions!!

Hi - I typically don't carry "extra" clothes. My layers are intended to be added and removed from the outside; maybe some extra mid layers that I swap out depending on the day's temp. I'm sure a lot of people use your approach. The common point is being aware that your clothes will likely get wet and you have to have the presence of mind to get to stay calm and get to work when you get to camp. Anyone who's been out in bad weather/winter knows that the real hustle starts when you get to camp!

That camera gets a lot of mediocre reviews, but the 1" sensor and f2.0 lens work very well in low light. I've used the original ZV-1 and canon m50 (too bulky, not many lenses). The ZV-1 is also great (better autofocus than the 1F, f1.8 lens), but that zoom lens with moving parts is a concern especially in the snow. Battery life on the ZV-1 series is not great either, but such a compact camera. Considering the new a6700 - weather sealed, lots of lenses, battery life, low light performance... What are you using?

Very good coverage on use of layers when wet and on timing. I just got back from a backcountry camping trip in Ontario. It's 25 C here, so I went swimming in a lake. What a contrast!

But yes, in different conditions I would have found a more sheltered area in the trees.

It's only a 30 g penalty over the standard 1P version that has more mosquito netting vs solid nylon panels, and offers more protection from blowing snow and wind. I don't like having the floor integrated into the fly for winter since it's harder to shake out frost, as would be the case for the Pro models. They all set up in a few minute and are very storm proof. I also like how silpoly sheds snow, and the setup is very fast.

I'm sorry, but just the fact that you got "soaked" makes this video a major fail. The number ONE rule in winter: "Never, ever, get Wet!" Another major mistake: The SOFT plastic Nalgene bottle. Those bottles are just perfect for...summer time. In winter, you must use the HARD lexan plastic bottle. Why? Because the water getting colder creates a void in the bottle. Therefore, deforming a SOFT plastic bottle. The result is that the lid may come lose with all the consequences we know. For everyone else watching this video: Never ever get wet in winter! No soft plastic bottles in winter, use the HARD ones. Use layers and constantly adapt to the situation. Avoid to get wet at all cost. Also, the use of gaiters is always a good idea. Have a set of clothes ONLY for sleeping. Stuff that in your sleeping bag for easy and quick access to it. If very cold, you MUST start a fire, or your stove, immediately. Why? Because if your hands freezes, then this could be the end for you. Keeping your fingers warm is the first thing you should do.
