I'm watching this from the foot of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah during a storm howling outside my door. By the comfort of a fire and hot coco. But, what is it about all that work and suffering we love so much? It's the challenge that reveals the beauty, not only in the landscape but within. It's good to feel alive.

Stunning landscape and scenery, and nice to end the hike with some winter sunshine! You have top notch gear too, and I'm appreciating your cumulative experiences, insights and advice about moisture management. Thanks for another great video Marty. Nigel .... in a milder Scotland!

Hey Marty, for vapour barrier liners for my feet, I like using food portion bags that I buy from a local restaurant supplier. A 10lb bag is a good size. They’re the right size and possibly sturdier than a garbage bag and because they’re small you can bring a stash for using on subsequent days.

Interesting!!! Thanks for the info I’ll look into it :)

Peak Refuel and Pinnacle foods make the best meals I have ever tried! Very good. Wise decision to alter the hike for safety sake. Winter is not the time to push limits on a two night fun trip.

Great trip, rugged beautiful and nice area. Full winter conditions plus great sunshine and mild at the end. Great options, peaks and lakes. I failed at my goals in Maine this winter I however did go out, try new gear and spent a night in the tent getting better with it all. I was losing weight and did some training this summer but put most the 4O pounds back on probably. Going to make a go of it again this year, diet, biking and hiking

Good for you my friend! Never stop trying! Thanks for watching and I’m glad you got out :)

@BeegEazy 5 ай бұрын

Depends on the dish, but Peak Refuel also generally has a lot more calories than Mountain House etc. which is a huge plus.

@martymorissette 5 ай бұрын

yes! And it needs next to zero water to rehydrate!!!!!

When I get upper back pain after exercise in cold, it's usually in large part because of rapid cooling that happens to my muscles when I get hot in cold weather, I sweat, and I don't wear a shell because I need to stay dry. I know the solution already but it's so inconvenient. I need to layer down to 1 or 2 light fleece layers and a softshell, and pack away my vest, it's just a pain, but rapid muscle cooling is even more painful! 100% ultimate athlete's food is potato chips! Best source of potatossium. I also love spicy ramen in the cold it warms me up so good and hydrates complete with salt.

@martymorissette 5 ай бұрын

My upper back pain was from the crook in my neck personnally.... And yes chips are amazing!!! hahaha

Great video!!I also own the MEC TGV tent and love it.I spent five days crossing the CapeBreton Highlands 60km through rough blizzard’s and extreme temperatures with this tent ⛺️.No issue at all and find it roomy.On a side note,I use a piece of white fabric from furniture wrap to lay on my sleeping bag for frost management.This works well,is cheap and super lightweight.Stay frosty my Friend 🙏❄️🌬️

@martymorissette 5 ай бұрын

Yea although a little heavy…. In exposed blizzard like condition the TGV would be the one I would take.

Good for you respecting physical limits and avoiding unnecessary risk. You were definitely rewarded with a beautiful view on avalanche lake! Also, thanks for talking about the thing that no one talks about: the freeze dried meal farts! I usually make my own dehydrated meals but when I don’t have time I’ll try that brand. My husband/other camping partners thank you 😂

Hey, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting. If you are trying to mange moisture with your layer system, I'd highly recommend you have a look at mesh base layers. You can read about it, but basically the mesh allows your perspiration to move away from your body. In particular I use upper and lowers from a company called Brynje of Norway. I believe it's from their Super Thermo collection. They aren't cheap, but I found a huge improvement over merino wool. Cheers.

@martymorissette 5 ай бұрын

yeah! I've heard about those... I'm a poly base layer kind of guy I find it dries really fast but I'm open to trying the mesh

Belle randonnée Marty et Pierre . Le décor hivernal était absolument fabuleux . Il n'y avait pas de possibilité de faire un camps de base et partir léger faire les sommets et revenir au camps plus tard ? Si vous aviez eu du beau temps peut être que ça aurait été plus facile d'atteindre vos objectifs . Je suis d'accord avec toi pour la vue sur le lac avec les falaises , super beau . Ça me rappelle la rivière Malbaie dans le parc des Hautes gorges dans Charlevoix . Aurais tu préféré avoir ta MSR Front range au lieu des 2 autres tentes? Et à le refaire, est ce que tu partirais plus léger au lieu d'avoir 45-50 lb sur le dos ? Merci pour la vidéo, c'était super bien filmé et très agréable à suivre .( tu peux m'écrire en anglais si c'est plus facile pour toi )

@martymorissette 5 ай бұрын

Salut Mec, Je veux juste te dire merci pour ta participation dans les commentaires de mes video. J'adore toujours voir ton nom y apparaitre! Oui faire un base camp c'est toujours une possibiliter... J'aime beaucoup le coter technique a trainer le tout sur mon dos de faire une boucle... Mais ce n'est pas necessaire. J'ai souvent laisser ma tente derriere pour voyager plus leger! Je savais que le voyage etait petit en journee alors le poids pour moi etait pas tres important je savais que j'etais capable de le faire meme avec le gros sac.... et je voulais vraiment essayer les deux tentes, mais je voulais equilibrer les sac alors j'ai porter les deux lol 9 livre de tente lol... \ Pour ce qui en est de la front range... toute le long j'aurai aimer l'avoir... plus de place, 2 livre!!!! et super petit packter.... mais comme je disais j'aime essayer les diffentes options sur le marcher pour vous les presenter. merci!
