Ultralight Cold Weather Camping - Warmth Without the Weight

Check out my first YouTube Live https://www.youtube.com/live/T-sQhar_w44?si=Jz7EK-ZqzMOATtAd

You'll see how far I can push a light winter setup in real conditions. 5kg Base weight. The camp sits by a river with wind gusts of around 25 to 30 mph. I use the Hilleberg Akto, a small cook kit, a Zenbivy quilt, and a minimal food load. I show the whole pitch, cook a complete meal on an alcohol stove, sleep through a rough night, and review what worked and what failed. I cover pack weight choices, sleeping pad comfort, tent performance, and simple tips for your next cold camp.

You filmed it on an iPhone with AirPods for audio. Viewers can tell you how that sounded.

Please watch to the end for my thoughts on winter trips with light gear.
