Have you tried down/synthetics jackets as a middle layer and if so what do you prefer/recommend (and in what context) vs extra layers wool shirts (can't remember if it was in this video that you showed us that you use two as a middle layer)?
Very best VBL (Vapor Barrier Line)-> 3 mm closed cell neoprene divers' socks over light poly liners. Change to clean poly liners every night. Place inside-out VBL socks inside sleeping bag after drying in tent. These VBLs have lasted me for many years! My favorite brand is US Divers (Aqua Lung in the countries)
"UL Winter Camping Gear" seems almost an oxymoron as winter gear is always heavier than 3 season gear. But here's mine:
1.)Tarptent Notch Li tent 2.)WesternMountaineering overstuffed Megalite down sleeping bag 3.)REI FLASH All Season air mattress (R 5.3)
4.)Trail Designs titanium sheet cone wood stove & 3 cup pot 5.) Down sweater & down vest 6.)XL eVent parka 7.)ski gloves & fingerless liners 8.)Scarpa T3 plastic Telemark ski boots & 3 mm VBL divers' socks over poly liners 9.)light fleece balaclava 10.)Osprey EXOS 61 L. backpack
What is the brand of air mat you use, I had to return one that deflated by morning – need to find a better alternative. Thanks, Gavin
Erik, like so many others, you have inspired me! I've got my pads and my Winter sleeping bag is on it's way. Can you tell me about your blue bivy bag?
Hi Erik, wondering what make your blue down jacket is? Your videos are fantastic, thank you.
Wow

I like your kettle. What kind?

What country is this?
Is that instant coffee you are drinking in your trips?
Danke für deine Tipps und diesen wunderbaren short Film 📽 🏆 viele Grüße Gennaro
Awesome 👍
Hi Erick, first of all congratulations for your amazing videos. I love the simple way that you make them. I would like to ask you something about exped backpack. I have the same. What you did with the hyper long straps? Haha I’m thinking to cut them off and make them shorter…wow are so annoying and difficult to manage…Any tips? Thanks and see you on the trails!
Very nice. Your English is very good. (Better than some of my neighbors here in the U.S.)
THank you, Erik. When you say the vapour barrier applies also to the sleeping bag, what do you mean and what do you use? I saw a bivy cover – do you also have something inside the bag?
Stay safe .
😀😀😀😀👍👍👍
Hey Erik. Hope you're well. What sleeping pad (mattress) and bivy are you using in this video? Do you find they work well?

What kind of bivy do you have?
