" The 2014 Original Minnesota Frozen Butt Hang "

[Fronkey]

He sent a note saying all good other than some dehydration. We both tried to drink a bunch but it takes discipline to do it.
Getting to -40º was awesome….yes, I typed awesome. We did not know it would get that low but were prepared for -34º.
Lessons always learned.
Couple of mistakes and a feller can be in for a world of hurt.

I'm doing great. Had a spectacular time out in the frosty woods with ol' blister finger. We were quite warm and comfortable and had a beautiful spot to camp.

We did have a fair amount of fluid intake, but not quite enough for me I guess.
Lost a few pounds of water weight. Nothing critical, and a slight headache was a good warning sign.
I will be working on some cozies for water bottles here shortly.
HINT, HINT FBH dudes ;-)


Getting ready for a BWCA hike this coming weekend.
Gear is already unpacked, getting washed, dried etc.

Woooooooohooooo Winter!

That's just awesome guys! I'm glad you both had a really fun time and made it out with a great story to tell. Looking forward to the trip report.

Woooooooohooooo Winter!

I love the frost on the wool, perfect balance, pushing the moisture to the outside

Did you say COZIE made them last week, cut off wool socks, and stitched the leg portions together, and a double layer reflextix. The neoprene are just can cozies

Thanks for the idea!!! That is sooo much cheaper than buying the $40 neoprene ones from REI.

I sat right on the fiberglass latrine that I dug out of the snow.

Holy crap. Litterally.

Shug your woopies operate ok in these temps?

I just picked some up.
I'm hoping I won't even have to adjust them once their up.

Yeah, the wool gear works terrific in these conditions. it was only -15ish in that pic. we had some frosty times out there!

Cool cozies TZ, you know what you're doing.
Boogsy and I will be doing some reflectix origami this evening.

Side note, be very careful with metal utensils or bottles everyone.
I like the stainless bottles for winter too. great for heating in a fire etc.

I made a small lip skin donation to my Ti Spork during breakfast at about -25 though.

Careful out there folks

I switched to straps for this trip.
But I have had my whoopies to -20º with no problem.
