41° Below FREEZING - Solo Ultralight Backpacking

In this video, Tayson ultralight backpacks in the forests around Brian Head, UT to survive the night in the fridged temperatures. At 41° below freezing (-9° Fahrenheit/-22° Celsius - for those confused, water "freezing" is 32° Fahrenheit) the adventure proves to be an intense one, with freezing wind that affects Tayson's mental clarity and camera equipment. Once his hot tent is set up, Tayson shows you what kind of food he's brought with him to camp, and proceeds to finally thaw out. It turns out that camping in the snow, up in the mountains, in the freezing temperatures, can be a bit of a challenge, but with the right backpacking gear, getting comfortable in temperatures like the ones experienced by Tayson is more than possible. Enjoy this beard-freezing outing of Tayson's solo hot tent camping experience in the middle of winter.
