well, you're smiling so that's good. It would be interesting to see how you rigged that bag up for a pod. congratulations on getting out there in the cold.

I think I may have seen some of your videos before. Did you do a hang at Mont St. Hillaire and record it? One other question: How did you rig up the Kovea Spider for pure propane?

[Bubba]

Awesome! Cold hangs are challenging but fun if you are equipped. Nice pics!

Edit: Wow, my 6000th post!

Yup I did a video on my anorak and peapod system. I'll show more in this video when it comes out. It was in Saints-hilaire :-)

I'd got a hankering to experience my own snowy frozen butt hang one day, after seeing your pics, UpMySleeves.
Enjoyed.
