Favorite Item:
Candle Lantern - by UCO Corporation
This was by far my favorite item. It's a light-weight compact candle lantern
that burns for 9 hours. Very useful for lighting the shelter while not wasting batteries.
Items He Wishes He Had:
Snow Shoes
It's hard to walk in 1½ feet of snow.
Comments:
Overall, I had a fairly heavy pack, but it was worth it because I didn't get cold.
The sleeping bag itself weighed 5 lbs but with temperatures dropping to 5°F it was very nice.
My boots were just regular hiking boots, nothing special for the winter, but the gore-tex kept
my feet dry and the combination of good socks and liners keep them warm.
The Gaiters were another
favorite item of mine because they kept the snow from getting in my boots when it was up to my knees.
