Amazing video. Very informative. Hello from Italy! It's so incredibly hot and humid here, that it's actually kind of refreshing to watch someone in the cold 🥶😂
nice video.. I like to build alot of my gear. most of the time I'm in a hammock, but the times I'm on ground, I made a 300 fleece bag I slide my close cell ThermR foam pad in, then ThermR neoAir extreme ontop of foam pad, all wrapped in 300 Fleece. then use a -40F WM bag. I made an artic bedding bag this all goes in. so far this has worked to -30F for me... If not as cold I'll use a 0F WM bag... good videos. hope to see more.
If you don't want to wear many layers, in fall, the "Mountain Hardware Absolute Parka" will be available in the US website (not available at the moment because it's summer, l believe. l asked "Mountain Hardware" and l was told it'll be available in fall). That would be my top pick. Link here: www.mountainhardwear.ca/en/p/mens-absolute-zero-parka-1898861.html l use the jacket you see in my videos, but l only manage because l wear many layers (it's a bit of a pain). l had that jacket before l started doing 'winter activities,' otherwise l would have bought the one from Mountain Hardware (last year, around Christmas, it was on sale down to 40%). Otherwise, "Bergans from Norway" and the equivalent from "Fjallraven" will do also great: www.bergans.com/en/p/2782-expedition-down-unisex-parka/21765 l hope this helps!
Wonderful video, friend! I have done the inflatable and closed foam cell pad stacking and it definitely helps. But I have always heard and put the closed cell on the bottom, but you say to put it on top. Is this for any particular reason?
Thanks! In my experience, when sleeping around or below -20°C (the colder the more noticeable), putting the inflatable pad directly on the ground (or the tent's floor) then adding the closed cell on top achieves better insulation. In the other configuration, l feel the inflatable pad sucks my body heat. Very noticeable, again, when it's sufficiently cold. You may achieve different results with different sleeping pads 🤷🏻♂️ but that's my 'general' recommendation.
@tickbait777 You should definitely try it and draw your own conclusions. Make sure you take a thermometer so that you can check the temps (the colder the easier to notice). Good luck!
I don’t reach your lower temps and already felt cold in my teneqa 700, I sent it back to Cumulus and for 85 euro they now added 200g of 850 down, so I have a teneqa 900 😂
Take a look at these 4 videos. You'll see my humble beginning. Eirik taught me (very well) the basics of x-country ski, winter camping, emergency shelters, fuel stove operation, etc. th-cam.com/video/D6lmjkdNgc4/w-d-xo.html

😅 Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it. Sorry for the late reply, I've been hiking the Rocky Mountains with no phone network. Video coming soon! 😎😉
Glad you have uploaded again.
With so much encouragement, I'm going to have to upload more often 😅 Thanks! 🙌🏻

Building your gear is great. Nobody knows better than you what you like and how you like it 😉
Excellent!!! Thankx a lot!!
My pleasure. It is an interesting topic. I'm sure others are also interested in the video so it was a win-win 😊
Very helpful tips! Could I ask what kind of jacket I could wear for minus 20 Celsius? Would be a good help.

@@alwaysforwardyt Interesting! I will definitely try this out this winter. Thanks!

Lucky you! l thought of doing the same, but I'm in the US. I'll certainly do that whenever l have the chance!
Where did you learn to cross country ski, and when did you start pulling a sledge?
