Minus 20 or 40 dosen't matter,,, sleep all night in the warm bag and covers,,, heat up the canopy in the morning and make coffee...

Prep the back-pack.and hit the trails...

Make it simple keep it simple...

Hard too believe it was 45 years ago when I lived in the cab of a pickup truck on my first ever pipe line job in the far North ...

Your either road back and forth each day in the crew truck too camp and waist 2 hours of the day or stay on site too gain for lost sleep...

I had everything needed too pull off 3 or 4 nights so long as the crew was packing fuel...

Plus I could get underway at 4am in the morning punching the trial in with the cat...

I was a mess back then... lol

Pretty fuvked way of having good times...


Yuppers,,, bring what yha need and the day will take care of its self...

Morning coffee and breakfast...
