I spent the night in a frozen tent. Condensation has collected in a way that froze during the winter storm. It drips, sometimes more when snow and sleet hit it. My sleeping bag is good but seems to either absorb some of the water or is repelling it adding to things in the tent being more wet that melt when moved and refreeze.
It would be nice to have towels. Tried to use some microfiber blankets yet once water is absorbed hard to get dry and then reuse. Likely a lot of people have had more experience with this.
When it is really cold fidgeting and waiting for a battery pack to recharge before you can use hand warmers is annoying, the chemical ones without batteries have nice qualities. I like the powered ones, would be better if precharged in warm areas, non throw away make feeling of have to watch out for them like if you put them in a sock – sock to more expensive might equal not used that way. Hard to know how much to spend per day vs improved quality like extra heat – a couple days with more bags of hand warmers might be a better trade than trying to cut pennies.
My boots were frigid so I put on some work loafers. Faster yet traction is terrible in snow thus I am slipping.
