Very nice!

Appreciate that you listed your gear. Nice to see & compare what others use. Looks like you did a great job packing your sled. Very compact. Also a nice fix in "mid- flight" on the stove pipe.

Thanks for taking the time to share your story & photos. Much appreciated!

Great report and beer choice. Thanks for the gear list as well I'm already looking forward to next winter and like TB said its nice to compare lists. Cheers.

thanks gang-the gear list is partially selfish as i may reference it in the future when packing but it at least gives an idea of what works for me. over time it surely will change and i like the idea of highlighting new gear and giving it a review at the end of my trip reports. not much new gear on this trip though.

i tried shooting a couple videos (before my cell phone went dead) and will try to post the "tour of camp" video at some point here. with respect to the camera dead issue in the future i am going to figure out a way to recharge my phone off my spare vexilar battery.

Never have winter camped but, I like the idea and your short solo trip sounds like a good starter trip. Thanks for sharing!

Good trip report. I am glad you had fun.I am also glad you made it out before it hit 60 on Sunday. Pulling the toboggan through the slush would have been tough. We were snow shoeing on the west side of Kek. I was amazed how much snow there was. It was like walking through a slushie.

Nice trip report. I haven't done any winter camping so a lot of this way to camp is new for me. You have a real nice set up. Would like to see more pics. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the report! Glad you were able to get out this year.

Nice report tg! We've done some backyard winter camping but reading this makes me want to head North.
