Today it is time for door six, and today it will be about gear.
When it comes to gear, I have been trying a lot of different brands and equipment. There are things you might put some more thinking and quality for. Due to clothing I always use the layer principal. With a merino wool undergarments top, you will stay dry and warm. And there will be no odour , for the first day at least. When it comes to sleeping mat, I normally use a inflatable one, and during winter season I add one more. If I planning to sleep in a snow shelter, I will choose one with groves/patterns so it will slide less.
Use a sleeping mat with groves for the winter shelter..(combined with a warm one)
Gloves, I can talk hours about it. Because the gloves is so important. You hands is you most important tools, (except for your brain)So they most be able to work. I always bring a pair of mittens with me. And use gloves off different types depending on activity. Today there are a multitudes of variants so you have to try, and see what’s suits for you and the activity.
Gloves for climbing, but does they work on a cold wet and icy wall?
And most important will of course be the coffee. To start a day to be the best, the part coffee is essential:-)
Starting the day with a nice coffee, means is going to be a good day..
See ya soon
We always go for wool. The best gear in cold and damp weather Uffe. I agree with you.
Yes for ice climbing it’s good to have extra thick and warm par between the climbs. I have -25 big cloves and it’s worth every penny
