I've already been in the snow on two solo trips this winter, close to home. A trip a month ago was with rain at night, with snow as my water source, I was that close. I'm edging towards UL, maybe I need to weigh my "stuff". I've picked up a few smaller pots, a .6L ti with the Caldera Cone setup and the other day a used .550L ti pot, waiting to use the smaller one. Somewhere, not snow camping. I want to get a summer quilt, then a smaller pack, I have a SMD 4200 cu pack now. Everything is so bulky. Jim would frown on my using a few stuff sacks.:)
