One of the most epic excursions into the backcountry of my life. Unfortunately before technology allowed for quality videos using phones and other small devices.
Maryland. Minus 8°F. Major scarcity of water. Tried to dry out wool socks by fire, while heating feet next to fire with my boots on. Bottoms of socks AND boots burned out. I learned important lessons on this trip that have continued to inform my approach and preparation for unexpected and extreme conditions.
