I do hope you are joking Bob, Look forward to the next installment.
How did you find the evernew. Mine seems a little thirsty on fuel but ive not had a proper play with it yet. Did it bloom quickly at -15?
Looking forward to the next parts sir.
I've just thoroughly enjoyed reading this,Bloomed quickly but was a pig to light without a wick. I used tindercard to get it going. It gets through fuel quickly but puts out a lot more heat than a Trangia.
Yes ive found it to be very powerful. my test boil had a 1.5l eagle kettle boiling like mad in 9 mins. Ive not got the trivet but it didnt seem to matter. Must be that new fangled power plate and the double vents that do the damage.
To finish days 1 - 3, what are these tracks seen earlier on the lake?
Animal tracks
Looks like you had a memorable trip.
Those tracks are hare.
Awesome trip report. I can't wait for the other parts.
One thing I do with the dehydrating of meals when it's cold is that I put the water inside the packet and then place it under my jacket. It keeps me warm, and keeps the packet from cooling down too fast.

I thought about placing them inside my duvet but the consequences of a spill were unthinkable. Even after 10 minutes they were still surprisingly warm.

Hey great looking trip - museum pix are stunning; you look cold! and thanks for the maps. very helpful too.
Regarding your icy shoes. With that type of shoe, in that temerature, you change to a dry pair of thick wool socks and your shoes on. That keeps the shoes warm, and will even drie them out a little.
Thats a good trick for others if you do not have these type of boots. Change to a dry pair of thick wool socks, then wear your "wet" pair of socks ( assume these are wool too) outide the dry pair. The wet pair will then be dry in the morning.
