Morning Time
11:23 A.M. What a good nights sleep. No cold spots!, back, hands, feet, and even my face stayed warm. The only thing is when you breathe and its cold frost developed around things the emergency blanket and the gore tex bivy cover had some frost. Next time I will make a way to have my breathe exit without gathering on anything. The things you learn through practicing and preparing.
Night Hike 2010-2011
This year will be a good year.
Starting it off with a night hike.
No Hangover.
And a big smile.
Hiking in the snow is cool cause you can see tracks from other animals like deer, rabbits, mice, I think it was Bobcat tracks in there.. something with claws anyways...
The wind was blowing id say around 10- 15 mph it was pretty chilly.. Maybe -15 degrees below zero... but stay moving and ull be fine
