I wish you the best and applaud your desire to take some time for yourself. <br /><br />I use a Neoair and a MLD superlight bivy and they also slide all over the place, mostly because I toss and turn a lot at night. Staking it out doesn't help. Not sure what the cure is...at least the bivy keeps me on the pad all night (like a straight jacket.)Philip Wernerhttp://sectionhiker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126757310189627315.post-59036900519595047212010-10-16T17:24:15.204+02:002010-10-16T17:24:15.204+02:00I love the sleeping set up.

I do not have that much experience of temperatures below 5C, but around then my feet started to become cold even when on the move. However, I'm not sure it's only the feet that are the problem. According to theory, when your torso gets cold you start to feel cold in your extremities as well. Maybe you should have had more clothes on while hiking too.<br />On other thing to try is neoprene socks. They work even wet and with holes in them, but when you get to camp you still need something dry to have on your feet. I've heard from several places that SealSkinz are not so durable.Gustav Boströmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129638529578896125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126757310189627315.post-51636218842856198392010-10-07T19:25:04.439+02:002010-10-07T19:25:04.439+02:00Agreed Thomas, it's always best to try them on...Agreed Thomas, it's always best to try them on if you can but I know I take a 10.5UK in Inov8 shoes and will order one full size bigger (11.5UK) for winter (thicker socks and an extra insole).

I would prefer to be able to try them on first. I know Løplabbet in Oslo has the trail runners from Inov-8 - I'll check if they sell the "boots" too, but I doubt it.Thomas W.

I'm still looking for a low lying, forested area for my trip next week.<br /><br />As Tomas says, having all your sleeping system inside your bivy helps keep things much snugger. My first bivy was too small to have the mat inside it severely compressed the lost of my bag when I tried. I will be switching from my quilt to a sleeping bag again soon (also a WM Ultralite). The 'cocoon' feeling will be especially useful in winter (sometimes with a quilt on top in very cold temperatures).<br /><br />As for wet feet: I too love trail runners and thin socks but the time for that set-up is passing as Scandinavia heads towards winter. Gore Tex socks, thicker wool socks and slightly bigger trail runners is one option but when it starts to get colder and wet, slushy conditions I often switch to Gore Tex lined footwear, just lighter versions of it like Inov8, Salomon or Montrail mids & boots.Joe Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907231785281446095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126757310189627315.post-52418675714393938232010-10-05T11:44:57.173+02:002010-10-05T11:44:57.173+02:00Actually, I haven't tried because I've rea...Actually, I haven't tried because I've read that it's a no go with my version of the bivy. They're (Tigoat) supposed to release a version that fits a Neoair, maybe they already have. And yes - the problem I think is that the quilt gets compressed.Thomas W.

I find it prevents a lot of draughts to have my mat and quilt all wrapped up in the bivy, although I guess if the bivy is tight it can prevent the quilt from lofting up enough?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
