I hope gear companies value your videos as much as they should. For some reason I think you're the KZitemr that has had most influence on gear purchases I make. Right of the top of my head I know I've purchased the Vargo DigDig trowel, the Tortoise Gear Fire Rods for my Victorinox knife, and the Hoka Speedgoats off of your recommendations (and other research I did, of course). Super happy with all those items out on trail, thank you!

One thing I do not understand: when hiking in the winter, one can take a great food and reheat it, as there is no worries of it spoiling. So I would prefer to prepare a thick soup, freeze it at home, and ensure it stays frozen. Then add some water and boil it. This way I can eat clean food.

Really enjoy your winter camping videos, they are our inspiration for our first attempts this season. We were out at roughly -3C at the coldest this weekend with a properly setup Xmid 2p (block drafts with snow etc) over an aluminum sheet, nemo switchback and etherlight xt insulated together with our new EE Revelation 10F. First time sleeping directly on snow vs a platform and we unfortunately felt the cold quite bad wearing a thick merino shirt (230gsm). I'm an extremely warm sleeper and have gone without shirts in our previous setup (just the etherlight XT ins, KSB 20F sleepingbag over platforms) and felt great at similar temps. I wonder what went wrong this time. It was extremely windy but the tent held well. Any thoughts ?

My guess is most of the heat loss was coming through the Ether Light XT. It is not a warm pad. I find it sleeps colder than the r-value would indicate.

Here's why I use a 20oz soda bottle instead of a $22 hiking water bottle when I want to bring a "pee bottle" in the winter: - It costs nothing. - It weighs about 1/4 of what the fancy hiking water bottle weighs (0.8 oz vs 3 oz). - If it freezes (I don't want to go outside my tent to empty it for the same reason I didn't want to go outside my tent to empty my bladder) I can just cut it apart instead of trying to melt it somehow. - I don't have to worry about a collapsible bottle cracking from the extreme cold and leaking pee into my sleeping bag.

@@JustinOutdoors -58 ambient temp? Wind chill included? In a hot tent? Those are very different things... and that's a big deal and a big statement. You make great videos and your kit is good, and complete. Thanks for what you share - I enjoy watching it all. I live in Fairbanks and have been out working, traveling, and camping in 40s and 50s below, down to -62F on two nights (slept in a cabin then). So much time at 20s and 30s below and many nights camped out both sides of -40. Your sleep system is certainly capable of 50ish below, no doubt, but the rest of your kit is more like down to 30s below, max. As you well know, things get very real every 10 degree drop. Many details of your setup just arent up to 40+ below. That and past videos of your's where you mention it's going to be 40 below that night and you're without gloves and insulated pants and in just a thin hat and insufficient boots made me question -58. You dont need to answer to me, that's not what this is, and it's never a p1$$ing match! 😅 Just letting you know what your experienced audience sees and hears. Your target audience will take your word for all you say (I have with a handful of things!), and while they will most likely not want to nor be able to find these extreme temps, it could be dangerous and there's much more to it than just a (even dialed) gear list and that ought to be stated 👍🏼 Props to you for getting out when it's the deep cold. Cheers, Justin. Would love to get out on a trip with you someday.

Gotta love the HMG Ultamid but it's super expensive and if, for some reason, you get very large hail above tree line, it's been known to punch right through the dcf. That would be heartbreaking in more ways than one. Andrew Skurka posted some video from this past summer where the dcf shelters were shredded up in Alaska during one of his group trips. I go very light for three seasons, but I think having a solid interior for alpine storms and winds makes alot of sense in the mountains. Everything else looks super dialed in. I hope I never have to experience those types of sub zero temps though. I certainly do admire your gear and experience! Great video.
