Great info Andy, thanks for sharing this. It's very impressive that you've got your load down so light. As you know, I prefer an alcohol stove, I can always get it to light.

[@huntonthetrails]

Yeah, the stove was not good enough at such low temperatures. I somewhere have an MSR whisperlite that i need to dig out. Heavier, but more reliable in the cold.

[@SarahOutdoors1957]

Very nice I need to get out more or even at all

[@huntonthetrails]

You will never regret doing so. 😁

[@bernardscott1783]

Really good weight is that mate and very inspiring 👍

[@huntonthetrails]

Yes, the weight was good. However, if the weather was anything but settled, I would use my Vango tent which would add 2+kg to the weight .

[@CraigJones-u6d]

Great video. The sleeping bag is really great

[@huntonthetrails]

It certainly is very good value. I find I get cold a few degrees below freezing but with that liner it was fine . 👍

[@CraigJones-u6d]

@huntonthetrails i take it its unzipped like that for getting in/out and you zip it up when you get in

[@paulhuggan-cammack2928]

Very informative. You could try a gas stove with a pre heater tube. I find they work very well. Alpkit and other companies do them. I sleep in my down jacket as I find bag liners a real pain. Down pants are also great. Keep the films coming 👍

[@huntonthetrails]

Cheers Paul. I will check out the alternative stove although I do have an MSR whisperlite somewhere that I probably need to get back in action. 👍

[@melaniegarden3416]

very interested in that alpkit bivvy bag...which one do you have? I often find the outside footbox of my DOWN quilt gets damp and I know it isn't from condensation drips. I've wondered whether it is just heat from my feet escaping the down and condensating on the outside of the footbox. Do you think a bivvy bag would get damp inside from condensation from a warm body ?? I have always wondered about this! I tried a covering my toe box with a sleeve made out of tyvek but it didn't make any difference...footbox still damp in the morning!

[@huntonthetrails]

Hmmm not sure. When my sleeping bag has been damp at the bottom it has always been from condensation. I have used the bivvy bag several times now and never had a problem with the sleeping bag being damp. I do make sure before i get in the sleeping bag that I dry my feet ( have a mini towel ) and put on dry socks. I find this helps get my feet warmer more quickly and helps with any potential condensation.

[@selpoehal]

is it Lanshan 3-seasons or 4-seasons? I can't get it. Thanks!

[@huntonthetrails]

I would only use it in winter in very settled conditions. If windy / rainy/ snowy I would use my 4 season tent. It really is a 3 season tent.

[@Wheatexe]

Do you think the Lanshan 2 would be ok in these conditions?

[@huntonthetrails]

Hi, yes I do. So long as it is settled with no falling snow or strong winds.

[@mark3evo]

I must admit not sure I would not be using my Lanshan 2 pro supposed to be a 4 season. It has no inner tent really just a thicker 1 piece fly sheet I would certainly needs the 4 layer sleep system that you use plus the insulated base Looks toasty and pretty snug 👍

[@huntonthetrails]

Well toasty might be pushing it ! If the weather was not settled I would not use the Lanshan 1 and go for my Vango F10. Heavier, but more comfortable. 👍
