Yes, you heard right, I brought a wood stove to the wood stove mountains.
Since this could be controversial: we made sure to camp outside the nature reserve each night.
Awesome! What tent is that?
@JakeHikes it’s the Seek OutSide Cimarron Light and their Medium U-Turn titanium stove.
@zeank Awesome!! I've got a Seek, and I love it.
@zeank
That still looks very cold.
Does the reindeer skin keep the warmth in so good? It looks so thin. Is it enough to stay the night?
@Shi I still had a proper sleeping pad, the reindeer skin would be warm but not large enough, also not very soft. We sat in the tent in our t-shirts and of course we had proper winter sleeping bags for sleeping.
@zeank ah I was still sleepy. Of course you still need proper sleeping bag on top of anything.
I was doing long distance hiking with a tent, somewhat minimalistic, but never in winter times. But still interested in what works. The stove, is it very heavy?
I miss my "travel with tent on my back" times. My tent was my home then.
@Shi I do a lot of long distance hiking too! The stove is ultralight, it’s just about 800g everything included. Packs down really small.
@Shi where have you been hiking? Any well-known trails?
@zeank it's some years ago. I was hiking in one go from Brno in Tschechien to Budapest. I did not follow a route then, just took the paths on the way in the right direction. It was about 3 weeks I think.
Later I did one from my home town, near Frankfurt, first to Eisenach and then following the Eisenach-Budapest long distance trail. This not in one go. And I only did go to Klingenthal, and did not continue. Still want to go back and continue this one day. 😂
@Shi the EB has been on my list since a long time. I did the German parts of it many many years ago together with my back then boyfriend. But it was in short sections too and without a tent.
