The Kovea is a gift my friend got for Christmas so I'm not really aware of how it all works haha. Here is a pick of it melting snow :

Looks like a great trip! Here's hoping we get some snow down south.

That's is isobutane with a little propane mixed in. And you're running in liquid feed mode. I thought you might be running it from one of those one pound propane cylinders

That's cold! I couldn't get out of the hammock in the morning at that temp.

I'm surprised I never heard of that stove. Looks like a nice alternative to the MSR Windpro II which can also run an inverted canister.

Dang thats plenty cold for me!
Was your sleepingbag/peapod part of the arctic system with the 1/2 zipper where each piece ties to the next with fabric ties? I too am interested in that setup as i find the bag itself a little hard to get used to as it a little confining at the foot end....maybe I just have big feet? I would think it would severely restrict your ability to get a diagonal lay.

Yup that's the bag! I got it for 50$ at my local surplus store. My friend J-S got the outer bag and converted his in an under quilt to save a bit of weight. I can assure you I don't get a diagonal lay, but I am still very comfortable in it. :-)
