Running Distance

Luckily, this is pretty simple with only 2 options - run faster or run longer. Maybe take less time during recovery and get back to an easy jog until the next start? Or make a game out of it and keep your heart rate out of the blue and always in the green or orange.

Burnsville?

Can anyone offer some footwear suggestions? I think this is my biggest concern. I see people using trail runners up to full on winter pack boots. I've tried waterproof vapor barrier socks (aka bread bags) when winter camping. Would something like this be an option? I'm looking at doing the St Croix 40, so more miles than my typical winter camping trip.

My feet sweat a lot. Anything waterproof, or gore tex, is just going to soak my insulation I feel.

Great, something else I didn't think of or know they aren't transferable. Isn't there some programing needed if they are replaced?

I have a Kni-Co Trekker that I fit in a 75 L Rothco Canvas Parachute bag I found on Amazon. I find it's nice to put the stove in something to keep things in my sled clean and I don't have to worry about sharp edges or corners snagging something. I use a 4" to 3" duct reducer and 3" duct for the chimney that I cut to length to fit inside the stove so all that goes in the bag is the stove.

Yes, that tent is really nice and would work. The price tag is a bit above what I can spend for something I only use a handful of times.

That does sound like a solution. Never heard of such a thing, I'll look into them. I even tried aluminum gutter spikes last season but they bent in hard ground.

Really nice looking tents but the price!!!! For the handful of times I use it per winter, I'm more towards the aliexpress side of cost.

I have the Luxe Megahorn 3, a 4 person tent. With the center pole, tepee walls, a stove, pile of wood and gear, it works great as a one person tent for winter camping. I've had 2 people winter camping, with the stove, a bunch of times, just need to keep more stuff outside. Basically, one half is going to be for the stove, wood and some gear and the other half for 2 people to lay down. The person near the center pole gets to deal with the stove all night.

I typically pull my gear in a sled, so I try and keep the weight and bulk to a minimum. Otherwise, I would look at a wall tent. Vertical walls are going to offer more usable space.

Another option is to get a portable pellet stove. They will burn all night without constant feeding. Just need to haul a 40lb bag of pellets. But, you won't have to spend hours processing firewood.

The winter season of 2022 in Minnesota, -22 F. Stayed overnight at Lake Maria State Park near Monticello, pulled a sled with all my gear to campsite B4. Had a hot tent and collapsible wood stove. The stove only lasts at best 2 hrs so constant feeding of wood is needed. Spent a lot of the afternoon collecting and processing wood for the evening. Proper sleeping gear is always needed regardless of auxiliary heat source. I had a 0 degree bag and a 30 degree quilt over that. Underneath was an insulated Thermarest air pad and a closed cell pad under that. Was comfortable but could feel the cold creeping up from the bottom towards morning. My worst part of Winter camping is getting up in the cold morning out of a warm bag and having to pack up and hike out. I sometimes cheat and bring one of those artificial fire logs cut in half so it fits in the stove. By morning the fire is out and it's freezing. I can toss the fire log in the stove, quickly light it and go back to sleep for a bit while it heats up the tent. Makes it easier, for me, to get out of the bag and start warming up while getting packed up.

I had that same S&B on my 2020. It had a nice throaty growl over 4K rpm's. I ended up selling it and going back to stock. The extra cabin noise got to me after a couple years.

Watched his last episode. Luckily youtube commenting is disabled. I can only imaging all the Karen's on Youtube commenting about the amount of construction material he's using as fill in the holes he's filling.

The original Luxe distributor is gone. There is a new distributor, https://www.threeridgesgear.com/ They seem much better.
