Thanks for the video... lots of good information and cool to see you try different stuff out. I always learn stuff when I watch.
It's a wonder though, winter backpacking. I am cold all of the time. In the house, in the car, outside if it's under 65* ... it is so hard for me to ever be warm for 6 months out of the year. Last weekend, a whole bunch of us went to a beerfest. The temperature was in the mid-20's, and the wind was brutal. It was a bitter cold. I had 3 layers of pants on, 5 layers on my top, 3 hats (which included a balaclava for my face), wool socks with feet warmers and sheraling-lined boots and on my hands, I had a glove liner, ski mittens, and two handwarmers. My body was actually pretty comfortable. But my hands and feet and face just could not get warm... and therefore, the entire me was cold. I am always miserable when it's cold! Luckily the beer warmed me up a bit
All that for me just to say I really wish I could go outside in the cold to have an experience like this! I just know, that even with the proper gear, I just would not be able to get warm. It bums me out a bit, but I can always just watch Shug from the comfort of my warm couch!
