Can you survive ?

I was quite impressed with your collapsible buck saw, so much I bought 2. If anyone is interested I found them on scouttech.com for $30.00.

Awesome, thank you! I think I got mine at Cabellas

I keep a couple for these and a couple SOS bibs sacks.
Sit under a poncho with a candle between your legs and you should be ok.

That’s always been my plan, pull the seat off the sled to sit on, lean against side panel all set

Exactly, then your not "struglin"

I don’t sled anymore but IMO sledders have a lot to learn from backcountry mountain hunters. You should all add a puffy down jacket, even down mitts as they’re compact/light/warm. Mine is the size of a nalgene packed. I packed a bivy for 10 years riding and never used but at time wished I had more somewhat active layers for those times someone is broke down or sitting around for a while.

There’s tons of cheap knock off ones out there if you don’t wanna spend a fortune, but gotta make sure it’s actually warm (5oz minimum down fill).

SOL bivy is like 4oz and tiny, keep one of those for sure in your bag.

I agree, hunters know they are going to stay out there. Sledders assume they are coming back every night haha, Myself included. Just have to be more prepared for the "what if" Don't forget to check out my video on YouTube, like and subscribe!

I started going through my pack last night in prep for this weekends trip - first of the year

Because it is one of those "hope you never have to use it" things make sure you update it some items have expiry dates... I changed out my batteries, hand warmers & painkillers and added three 15 min road flares, extra fire starter, jerky, trail mix, cup-o-soup and granola bars.

All my chit fits into a 8" x 11" x 4" waterproof bag (roughly the same size as a pack of printer paper and I could set up one hell of a comfortable camp in short order... then Air-bnb it after my rescue....

I hope I never have to accidentally spend a night on the hill but if I do I know I'll be comfortable, there is part of me that would love to purposefully camp out one night up there but even with the best gear it probably wouldn't be the best sleep, would be great until bed time but would make for a long day after....

Great info, checking expired items!

Yes its "Always fun..... until its not"

Hey Guys and Girls,

I just posted the PART 2 video as promised. I couldn't cover everything because it was just too long. But I did make a super shelter and stayed in it over night. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE if you haven't already!

Cheers

u may have hard time finding picnic table

 

[imdoo'n]

i found this, likely a bit, lighter and compact than a barbecue cover, with a couple bent branches would work great. Have u tested any of your ideas in real life circumstances instead of the backyard, as 6ft of fluffy snow is a lot different than a half ft of snow in Edmonton?


suggestion, if you are orienting your video's to sledders , make it about sleds and where sledders want to ride, otherwise you will lose your audience. gear needs to be compact and lite! JMHO!
