It’s -5…..which wouldn’t be too bad if there wasn’t a 40 km/h sub arctic wind making it actually feel like -17. And I’m camping in it. What the hell is wrong with me?!??!
Truth be told I get a charge out of it. It’s practise and something I should be wholly prepared for when I reach the high Sierras next June. I’m alright with being the whack job who winter camps now if it means I’ll be known as uber-prepared in 16 months.
I packed my bearvault with food for the night and breakfast/lunch tomorrow. When it comes to my food, I already know what I like. The winter camping has allowed me to try my food and adjust where necessary, that alone has been priceless information. Is much rather add more spice to my recipe while I can then thriving on tasteless food later!
My course is going alright. I pick it up here and there. Right now I need access to a fitness track to proceed and well it just keeps frigging snowing!!!!! I’m not running in snow. I know the spaz I can be!
Anyway, wanted to check in and now I get off the phone and back to appreciating this amazing Northern BC wilderness….even if it is f$&@%*g cold!!!!
