Out Bushcrafting and hiking off trail for two days in the snow. First night I slept a couple hours at a time then went up and tended to the fire. Had to go get another log in the early hours and got some nice shot at the night sky with the moon etc. -10 celsius. I love the air when its this cold. If you wonder why I put snow on the saw handle: it froze to ice during the night: Check out the different performance sawing with it day one and two! Weight and stability.

ATTENTION: Being under an uproot can be very dangerous. Never take shelter under a fresh uproot if your life doesn't depend on getting out of the wind etc. It can be very dangerous as they can snap shut again if the tree breaks and weight balance shift. This was an old one that's been like this for more than a year but its still not something I advise people to do. Being around widow makers, even though not directly above, is never 100% safe. It is a calculated risk. As everything is really but sometimes we forget that. A snow bivouac for example. They can be very dangerous if the air intake in the roof gets blocked by snow when you sleep etc. Not to speak about the car ride to site on icy roads alone in the wild without cell phone coverage. In short: This is an emergency shelter. Not to be tried for fun, even though I did it, it was my choice alone. Thanks for watching!

As always I bring materials to site for crafting if not on my own or friends land.
