Windy winter trip in a snowy sweden

[Biped]

At last we got some snow in the south of Sweden (in the northern part there is a lot). I am more or less addicted to winter, cold and snow and managed to take a few day of work and went for a four day long mini trip. Since the weather forecast was a bit unsure and I had a to walk for about 20 miles in a rather unknown territory I took a tipi with me as a backup (sorry, I only sleep int the tent for one night). Unfortunately, I forgot backup batterier to the camera (and some other gear) but managed to take some photos that hopefully will show the beautiful winter landscape. Sadly the sun was obscured by cloud most of the time but during the last afternoon it stopped snowing and after a while the whole lanscape went from dull and windy to shiny and bright.

Main gear used:
Warbonnet XLC & Warbonnet superfly
Cumulus TQ and UQ
GoLite/My Trail Company Tipi and NeoAir XTherm.
Fire and a cheap pot.

Thanks for sharing your pictures from your snowy trip... beautiful! I can just imagine hiking & camping in the quiet solitude that comes with snowfall in the woods. Awesome.

The best from both US and Sweden :-) I also have the smaller Outdoor hatchet but I think that the Wildlife hatchet is perfect in size.
