Bah humbug to the lot of you. :P

I figured I'd be asleep right now, but I actually slept pretty good last night. It's amazing what a 0-rated bag, a foam pad and wickup made from a length of maple, a tarp, and a couple feet of snow on top of boughs can do to keep the heat in. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Initial report- alcohal stoves really do suck in snow. Forget 'em once it goes below freezing. On the other hand, the Nuwick served just fine.

And I got my fire going with a Sparklite. I had had my doubts about them.
