Notes:

Pack felt good, though I could have gotten it on my hips better, I think..

Definately should have worn snow pants, as my quads were feeling the wind..

Hot spot on my R heel.

Should test my snow boots next time, with the wool socks.


Warmth was good, except for the quads and face (balaclava next time?).

Some sweat on lower back where pack rested.

Upper back and armpits were good..
