Loadout: Winter Setup

Here’s a great loadout from Anthony Durand, mountaineer, outdoorsman and former member of the gendarmerie.

Anthony: Here is my set-up for the winter conditions. I built this for the purpose of achieving two specific goals that are important to me: robustness and efficiency. The only compromise I made was for the feather sleeping bag (lighter, less bulky and warmer).

Here are the elements that compose it:

• Hilleberg Soulo tent (advanced materials)
• a solid, light and compact Thermarest Neo-Trekker floor mat
• Mountainnering Lynx MF sleeping bag (very light and very hot)
• a gas stove SOTO OD-1NP because the gas stove freezes in the mountains when it is too cold
• 2 battery pack for electrical equipment (lamp, GPS)
• a snow shovel to install properly
• a Carinthia MIG Jacket when it is cold and very wet, otherwise feather jacket
• ski gloves in Gore-Tex
• eVent Rain Jacket made by Karrimor with reinforcements on shoulders and hips to carry without compromise
• a Petzl MioXP headlamp (big autonomy and high power)
• A Stanley Flask to warm up at night
• Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters
• Solid gloves to tinker without getting hurt
