- Winter hiking is invigorating and special. There are no mosquitoes, black flies or other insects to swat at; however, you have to contend with everchanging weather conditions and the potential of hypothermia. This video was posted to share the type of gear I always take with me when wilderness hiking in the winter.

Excellent video
Thanks for the compliment - I simply don't want anyone to be caught out here unprepared. It is truly scary times when that happens.
The blind is ingenious in it's simplicity. Great call.
This particular blind is so simple to use it's crazy - It takes a bit of practice to coil the thing back into the bag, but once you get the hang of it - nothing beats it.
I have used a pop up fish hit for the same purpose but found it simply too heavy for hiking. Thanks for the comment.
Great advice for sure 👍
Thanks Buddy, I have seen to many people head out into the bush unprepared and end up with severe hypothermia without even realizing it was happening.
Thanks for the comment.
great advice!
You are welcome
This is a great video friend! The pop-up blind is something iIhave never thought of, it is way quicker than a tarp setup and sometimes, depending on the terrain, it is not possible to erect a tarp. I don't own a stick stove, but I do own and use a kelly kettle that is easy for brewing teas.. On longer expeditions I use a MSR Whisperlite white gas stove. I think the kick sled is a great piece of equipment, I haven't seen them used over here in the West. Best Wishes, Chris
Hello Chris - The kick sled is indeed awesome to use as it also provides a seat whenever you may need it. I would highly recommend a pop up blind - they are light and easy to erect should the need arise. Stay well
January 2013 a dad and his two sons started out hiking on a Missouri ozark trail. I remember the day. It started out warm and by 2or 3 in the afternoon there was freezing rain. They died of hypothermia. So yea your advice is relevant even in the middle of the U.S.
Wow - that is sad. People have no idea how fast things can go from being awesome to scary. The forest is always looking for things it can turn into humus - no point in helping it out if we know what to put in our packs. Thanks for the comment and information.
Working blizzards on the farm, you managed your body heat. Even stripping off coats in -70 ° F wind chills shoveling hog feed. Do it right, you go to bed with no shower needed because no sweat buildup. Building snow shelters works if you manage body heat. You can do it if you keep your head about you.
totally - you have to pace yourself - most people don't. You worked a farm and learned the proper way to handle the cold. Being cold is not a bad thing because it reduces the risk of sweating - as you said -management is the key. Thanks for the comment
