I recently spent a week solo snow camping out of my Jeep in Stanley Idaho. Temperatures dropped down to -28C (-18F) and I even got some fresh snowfall during my time there. Big thanks to Motion Array for sponsoring this video bit.ly/motionarray-drewsimms
Bushcraft cooking over an open fire, lots of hot springs, and some snowshoeing made for a great week trip up near the sawtooth mountains

Better than most netflix shows. Love the work you put in all this camera angles. Not only you position the camera at awesome spots, you also make sure not to make footsteps in the shot which is a detail most people won't recognise. Absolutely stunning. I wish I can Film in spots like this too where absolutely no people are around 😍

Those snowy, blusih white scenes were like a magical winter wonderland. Loved the aerial drone shots and the musical selections. You can imagine the effort Drew put into setting the camera down, filming himself walking or driving, then having to go back to pick it up and trek on, especially when its that cold. That plunge into the icy river was just insane though! :) As always, a detailed first-rate and moving vlog.

Drew, I've been one of your long time sub and I can't express properly how much I have waited this winter for you to put one of these winter camping vids up on the channel. Iceland and all is fine but this is what I was craving!! For someone who aspires to do even one of these winter camping trips but drives a modest FWD SUV with no snow preparation, your vids are some of my most anticipated videos. Thank you so very much and some of the angles keep getting absolutely insane. Your love for the craft, an eye for unique angles, the prep that goes into planning and the utmost discomfort of just putting yourself out there for the love of nature is inspirational. Hats off dude! Cheers from PNW.

Possibly one of the greatest videos I've ever seen. ❤️ As a drone guy myself, I definitely appreciate the epic aerial shots! I also like the tripod drive bys and distance shots. Anyone who is dedicated to quality filming knows it's not just camping. Camping and filming like this is a whole different animal! I'm probably upgrading my Liberty II to a Wrangler in a few months, and I love your set up. It looks like you have well thought out conveniences. While I'm sure they're not cheap, it's easy to see how having the right tools can make an experience more enjoyable. Man what a peaceful setting! I just can't say enough. This video is really amazing, and I'll be subscribing immediately in hopes of finding more videos like this. This is truly inspirational. Thank you. 🙏 ~ Josh

Cold probably dropped the pressure too low on your propane. White gas stove with a priming cup and pre-heat tube is the way to go for extreme cold. Or an electric stove since you have that portable battery, but keep in mind that its capacity temporarily goes down when it's cold.
