So the only thing I wore, had on me or used in any way that was synthetic were the soles of my boots.
Temps -8/-9c.
No tent, no sleeping bag, no fire by the shelter, no hot water bottle or hot rocks....
Gear:
Wool blanket, thin wool cloak with hood, reindeer skin, fur coat, fur hat. Flint and steel for fire. (Just steel. No fancy firestriker ferrocerrium rods) Candle lantern for light. No messing about.
All the gear I had was in my blanket roll.
Gotta say...toasty warm.
Superb, you live the life we dream of!
Brilliant!
You've got some cojones Susanne! Did you do a vid of this one?

You are so lucky, keep it up it makes me smile a lot.
What he said ^^
Thank you guys. <3
I tell you something else. Not bad to hang out in a string lounger in front of a camp fire wrapped up in a fur coat and woolen cloak. And later you can take that nice warm cozy bubble of warm air, and lay down on your raised bed, wrap up into a warm woolen blanket and never lose your nice warm air pocket.
Same when getting up. I really like this method. Do the same with my mountain serappe and jerven bag when I am not "going trad".
Although I do find myself going trad more and more often if I don't have any particularly strenuous trekkin or hiking goals, and am just out to spend some time in the woods.
Awesome get up for long distance horse riding too btw.
