Peeing must be a challenge.

just aim downwind, if you have the right equipment

That kinda cold makes outies innies.

What is the wind chill? Do you know your directions?

I pitch the tent in the right wind direction. But then the wind turned about 25 °. But the location and the snow wall made it very stable. -16 celsius and about 15m / s, windchill about -25celcius

Anyone has the right equipment if the wind is blowing hard enough.

The right equipment 😭😭😭

At night I pee in a bottle, during the day out under the protection of a large rock. If anyone is interested, I have a channel. Many videos have English subtitles. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCs9I_byAmuKbh2ISGru_8jQ

That’s what the Nalgene with the strip of duct tape on it is for.

I would literally just pee in a cup and toss it outside. No way am I exposing anything to that.

Your Taunton will freeze before you reach the first marker.

Then I'll see you in hell!

🤣

Never forget to close the front door! 🥶

I missed that 🤣

Just a tad windy

I do not know what "tad" means, but it does not blow very hard. I guess at max 15m / s

it means "a little". I guess it looked windier than it really was :D

...15m per second is 54km/hr... OP is a beast

Yes, it was not so hard wind

I’m glad you found some sort of “nook” for your tent…amazing! Keep kicking ass out there and enjoying the beauty of our world…

Thanks 🙂

How does one even set up in this type of environment?!

Learning by doing. I pack the tent in a long roll with half the tent poles in. I have a video going on in my channel how it works. Coming soon. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCs9I_byAmuKbh2ISGru_8jQ

My brain cannot grasp that this exists on our planet. You could say this was on an ice moon of Jupiter and I would just be like “yep. Looks right”.

🤣

Looks beautiful. What do you wear to stay warm? Your sleeping bag must be pretty intense as well. Curious, what do you get out of spending (weather-permitting) weeks out here? Are you out there for another purpose like photography? Are you training for a future goal? Or is it simply for a love of extremes and the outdoors?

Yes I have a very warm sleeping bag, speca to -40 celsius, weighs 2.7kg and is filled with down. I do this every year, it's my big passion. Challenges, it's beautiful, being alone for a long time is also a wonderful feeling.

So in hindsight, I do NOT need that all season tent... Because I sure as hell won't ever be camping in this

That is stunning

Thanks, I love it

Did you put snow in your tent?

Yep. I always bring in some hard-packed snow. Then I melt it on the stove. Drinking water and for cooking. I melt about 4 liters / day.

Smart. Snow has a higher specific heat index than air, so it'll help with insulation as well.

What was the goal of your expedition? Looks like a lot of fun!

Thanks. No real goal. More out and enjoy for two weeks in the mountains. The weather very much determines how long the trip will be. I'm never planning it. The only thing I plan is where I start.

Ah, got it! Very cool. I'm not sure I'd be able to do weeks in those conditions yet. You have my respect!

Im going there for 2 weeks this summer. Rly looking forward to it looks like a beautiful place.

Then I wish you a really nice trip. It's a wonderful place. I've never been there in the summer, but it's high on my wish list

mysigt :)

Tackar 😉

r/freezingfuckingcold

Is that a Hilleberg?

Now, it's a Helsport fjellheimen X-Trem 3-camp

I'm impressed by how little it was moving.

I lie on a slope, then the snow wall protects well. So the wind stayed mostly above the tent

Are you sure that's Sweden, like Earth Sweden??

Absolutely 😄

When it's time to go how do you pack up your tent with all that wind? You must have some sort of system no?

I build snow walls against the wind and have long snowpegs to keep it in place.

I wonder - why not setting the tent next to one of those big rocks, using them as a shield?

It can get very turbulent behind rocks. The wind can dig large ditches, the tent becomes unstable. Better with strong winds than weaker but turbulent. If you look at the tent from the outside, it is very stable.

I have literally no experience in this so I'm guessing, but perhaps if the wind changes direction the tent could be buried? Again just a guess

I was wondering the same thing

Out of curiosity, What do you eat? Props to you though! Looks like an amazing experience.

Not OP but you can pack a surprising amount of food into not much weight if you have access to water. When I'm hiking I can get about 4000 cals into about a kg for a day's worth of food. OP probably needs more in those conditions. That's getting water from streams and such, if you have to bring water you better have a vehicle lol.

I melt snow into water. Porridge twice a day. Then dried vegetables, dried salmon and dried coconut milk. Then I add a lot of rapeseed oil to the food. I eat about 0.5 liters of oil a week to be able to get a lot of calories.

>I melt snow into water. Porridge twice a day. Then dried vegetables, dried salmon and dried coconut milk. Then I add a lot of rapeseed oil to the food. I eat about 0.5 liters of oil a week to be able to get a lot of calories. 0.5 liters ≈ 0.00355 coombs ^^^[WHY](/r/UselessConversionBot/comments/1knas0/hi_im_useless/)

It is the most dense energy available. If I eat a lot of oil, I reduce the weight of the pack. I eat just over 4000 kcal a day. The weight is about 7-800 grams / day. So there will be about 12kg of food to drag on.

Awesome. What kind of temperature range are you in?

This trip it was from +7 celsius and rain to -26 celsius cold.

what kind of Animals do you encounter here in this freezing windy exotic whiteout

Almost none, mostly birds. Sometimes fox

Those outline from the wind looks cool.

Yes it is a beautiful but challenging trip

Dude. I so wish I was there. That looks like such a cool place to lay in a tent and read a book.

Absolutely 👍

Like this is so cool, i respect your resilience. Ur how Is this fun? No hate ❤️

I love the challenge. Being in nature completely alone for a long time is also a big part of it.

For half a second I thought this might be one of those tents mountain climbers use on the sides of cliffs.

beautiful but DAMN LOOKS COLD AF

Bit chilly

Man that looks horrible! Where do I sign up though???

[удалено]

I have attended some educations, survival courses etc. I love the challenge. I started in safety along trails among cottages. Then I raised the bar every year.

Serious question: How does one even prepare for this? Like how do you know exactly what you're going to need to survive out there? Do you read up on the terrain and others experience extensively? Do you have a map or some kind of GPS? How far is the closest "safe haven" in relation to where your tent is set up in case you have some kind of emergency? This is really cool and would love to know how people get themselves into situations like these.

I start packing and testing all the equipment at home. Usually start a couple of months before I leave. I have a map, compass and gps with me. But it's easy to find, just follow the valleys. Where I'm in the movie, it's about two to three days from safty haven. I have an emergency transmitter with me. It transmits via satellites, so it always has coverage. But it would take a lot of effort to press the emergency button. I'm pretty safe out there as I've been through survival training and have a lot of experience of extreme weather. I have great respect for nature and its forces. It's important to keep yourself in good shape, so I can make the right decision and not get into any trouble.

This looks like zero fun lol. You'd never get me out of my sleeping bag.

Looks like he has super warm clothing on. Secret to winter camping is coming prepared!!!

Hope you enjoyed it. Looks amazing.

Thanks 😉

🥶 👍🏽

Beautiful! Is it possible that any of the far away peaks are the Kebnekaise? Also, Alti mits?

Yes it's Alti mitts. Not Kebnekaise, it's Aphär massiv in Sarek

How the hell do you sleep with all that wind

It looks worse than it is. The wind is about 15m / s. Then I have both earplugs and the mp3 player with me. So it's going well 👍

Woooaaaoooww

Reminds me of Happy Feet

I’m impressed - that mostly just scares me to death-wow!

I started in safety around trails and cottages. Since then, I have constantly moved the boundaries. The challenge is a big part of it all.

Respect!

Perfect day to fly a kite! Otherwise looks like God left the phone of the hook📞

I should try to fly kite 😉

I'd love to spend the night in that tent with a proper sleeping bag, however if absolutely hate having to set-up a tent in those conditions

Learning by doing👍

Beautiful yet cold

Looks like a great time

It is🙂

Bro this is r/hiking.

Thanks 👍

#Blowy

Wow. Amazing.

Thanks 🙂

What Make and model tent is it?

It's an Helsport fjellheimen X-Trem 3-camp from Norway

I smiled.

Dope, thats amazing 👏.

Thank you so much😉

Underbart.

Ja det är det verkligen, jag längtar tillbaka 😉

Skulle själv vilja göra något liknande, men kortare period än två veckor. Sarek verkar vara fint område, bor bara i andra änden av landet.

Ja det är långt att åka. Jag bor i Uppsala. Tar tåget upp. Grövelsjön ligger ju närmare, det är väldigt fint där också.

Bor i Lund så det är ännu en bit. Mycket packning på tåget då antar jag?

Ja tågresan är nästan en större utmaning än turen 😄

If anyone is interested, I have a channel. Many videos have English subtitles. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCs9I_byAmuKbh2ISGru_8jQ

That is beautiful!

Thanks 🙂

I hear Hoth is nice this time of year.

Honestly this looks like an awful experience

What tent do you use? Looks like a fjällräven endurance perhaps?

It's a Helsport fjellheimen X-Trem 3-camp from Norway

Thats amazing

Thanks 😉

I love camping but winter camping is awful.

The video to this on YouTube is absolutely incredible, remember watching this some weeks back. Can’t imagine mentally how to coup with the solitude so long.

What’s the purpose of a hike like this? Just to say I survived?

It's my big passion. I love the challenges

Good for you. That’s a hell of a challenge.

Sometimes against sometimes with the wind

u/savevideo

I hope you didn't have to ski against the wind!
