It gets down to -38 on this trip to the frozen remote off-grid camp. That is as cold as it has ever been for me while camping. While some people out there have experienced much colder winter conditions - including me - what makes this experience unique is that I'm doing this with nothing more than a canvas tent and a stove.
Canvas tents are great in the cold and I love mine, but there is no insulation. So when that stove goes out, the temps plummet right away. In fact, it's colder inside my tent than outside when I arrive.
I have a few things I need to do around camp. I'm cracking out a handmade wood splitter; it's awesome.
I am also modifying my bogan and cooking lamb on the flaming stove in the tent.
And ... I'm hoping my Jackery can heat up my snowmobile in these freezing conditions.

How much experience do I have?
That depends. I am pretty good at starting a fire these days and gathering wood. But I don't really have true bushcraft skills and definitely no carpentry or construction skills or training. I could probably make a shelter if I had to, but that would just come from all the KZfaq training (watching) over the years.
