I know nothing of snow from being raised in a warmer country so pardon my ignorance, but is there a risk of it collapsing on you?

Excellent video. I would add that you should exercise, try to pee, and change into dry clothing before going to bed. On really cold nights, wear your extra insulation layers. I use an alpine bag with no zippers and a disproportionate insulation between the legs/feet and torso. It is intended to be used with your puffy jacket. It's light and packs extremely small.

Excellent! The pelvic fracture is often overlooked in basic First Aid training
@m.k.7199Ай бұрын
Every backcountry skier, snowboarder, alpinist, mountaineer, hiker, camper, hunter, etc, should take a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course! Not the same as a normal First Aid course where advanced medical care is near by. They should also carry a small First Aid kit. The first kit should be appropriate to the injuries you might encounter in the activities you are participating in. For example, a skier might not need a burn bandage, but would more likely need splints.

Excellent video! I like bivouacing in a snow cave. I use bivy bag to keep my bag dry and warm. I was in -40 degree temperatures outside, and with only a candle lamp, the inside was around 0 degrees.

I'm a life long snowboarder who also mountaineers, and can cross country ski. I ask this in earnest. What is the advantage to boarding down big mountains? In my case it just seems like I would do it because I cannot currently ski downhill and as an active athlete I am concerned about the acl and other leg injury risks I might be exposed to during early mid life. It seems as though the ski is better fitted to the mountain in every way. Hence needing to turn my snowboard into a cross country ski.

I’m having a hard time finding compatible crampons for my boots that wear split boarding. That petzl irvis fl might be an option, but it doesn’t look as good as my universal bd crampons.

Your content, energy and passion you bring with the video’s is so great. Really enjoy ‘m! So thanks 🤘🏼🏂 Little extra detail for the hypothermia part - a game changer though - is to also wrap the vics head in the blanket!!! Even when wearing a helmet (with vent grooves). (When waiting long, especially with any kind of bleeding, hypothermia might very well be the biggest concern after stopping the bleeding.)

DO NOT !! try to bend metal parts of your crampons. Hardened steel or aluminum will most likely crack. As mine did.

Good way to have basic skills is to just go few times cross country skiing or using gliding snowshoes. Basically the same thing in the flat and if you need to turn etc.

Shouldn't you switch sides so the Radius Edges is on the outside where it will be more effective in a carving turn.
@HOWTOXV3 ай бұрын
Not sure I will have much carving going on! - But the main reason to switch the "skis" is to ensure that your "buckles" are on the outside and they don't catch, that way when you are splitboarding up(or skiing down!) you don't accidentally undo your bindings. Xv

@william24966 ай бұрын
Cornices, crevasses, tree wells, roots, terrain traps (avalanches), snow packs (avalanches) are always on my radar to check before hand with maps, binoculars or a drone for safety (unless I walk up by and see the line in plain sight) amongst generic things like rocks, gradient or weather.

Hi Xavier I love your videos! Question, what bindings are those, I can see they're not SparkRD (I use Spark) and probably not Karakoram either. And if something else, how do they compare to those brands?

Hello. I have a question. Wouldn't it be better to secure the pulley with a knot instead of maintaining the tension with t-block? I mean if either the anchor or the pulley fails you will be pulled suddenly backwards. Thank you

I’m surprised more splitboarders don’t embrace the tele turn, and use fishscale bases. You really don’t need skins in most situations. I’m tempted to turn some fat tele fishscale boards into a “snowboard” with voile plates, using 75mm plastic boots, and a voile 3pin binding for the ascent.
