    Nice. I assume you where in your Jerven bag again :-)

    Actually I did not even have the Jerven or the Fjallraven Cape with me for that one. Just the Mountain Serape and a good hat.

    Amazing what you can do with a lean-to and the right kind of fire.

    The Mountain Serape is just ridiculously awesome

    I am thinking about that too. Though my current load with hammock, poncho, cape, jerven bag, food, etc fits into a 40l backpack. I could imagine carrying a larger pack, for the bulk.

    I have pulled a pulk before but I find them kind of frustrating on the steeper ground.

    Maybe I will get a superlight that I can just hang on the pack when the going gets too steep. It really is very nice on the flatter ground....

    Maybe I have to get that serape one day. Any way spent the top half of the day out in the hills in the same temps as you had, and I must say that without a sleeping bag you've done quite well.
