Went winter backpacking in the Sierra's @ Saddlebag Lake, it was the toughest backpacking trip I ever did.
Was advised to keep a spare pair of wool socks inside my upper pant legs at all times. Changing into those warm socks after hiking all day was sweet. The "night" bottle in the mummy sleeping bag was fun too. Marmat's appeared from nowhere and tried to get in our gear all the time whenever you stopped.
Need to lose 15 lbs. go winter backpacking three days, guaranteed results.
