5 days winter hike with some camping, bushcraft and beautiful nature. Nothing more silent and calm if you can endure it. It may look easy on camera but this is the hardest thing for me I ever do. It was almost 10 years ago since we had snow like this for a week and I almost forgot how tough it can be. First day out with the snowshoes I was wet, cold and tired and I almost thought about aborting. Walking 1 km took at least 5 hours with many breaks. But after a few days and some walking in the woodlands instead of out crossing land that is more open it got easier. In the woods the snow was not so deep and I could walk without the snowshoes. Interesting how you get used to things if you just continue. Summer camping out with the canoe is like staying at a 5 star hotell with spa in comparison to this. And filming part of it makes it twice as hard. Fire is central. Everything circle around it. It gets very repetitive but there is a beauty in that. I had no desire carving spoons and making bowsaws LOL. Temperatures around - 5 to -10 C in the days. Coldest early morning just before sunrise was - 16.7 C. I love the Jervenduken poncho shelter. I honestly do not think I would have done this for 5 days without it. When you walk in snow you get wet or moist. Then if there is a wind no fire in the world will make you comfortable in the dark. This poncho is waterproof, windproof and PrimaLoft insulated and very light weight for all it can give you. It weighs 1.9 Kg. Sitting with it like in the thumbnail it gets insanely warm inside. I also noticed it dried up very fast when parts of it got moist. First night was the coldest but the warmest in my sleeping bag since I used the Jervenduken as a bivy bag. Second night I had some chills during the night and honestly I would have gone all bivy for this trip if it was not to try out several possibilities sleeping under different shelter configurations. I also want to say I bought the poncho for my own money and have no cooperation with the company etc. I have never gotten one single piece of gear for free since the start. This is just my honest opinion on it. The only downside with this poncho is it is crazy expensive. Thank you and see you next time!
