  • Allen doesn't always build fires near tree line, since building a fire ABOVE treeline is actually damaging to the tundra, but every once in a while you find a beautiful outcropping of rock to have yourself a nice twiggy fire. ⁣
⁣
Otherwise, the toes get a little cold (cough cough, the flip flops 😜). Who likes to spend nights above treeline? | 📸: @sergegiachetti @butts0989 #dirtbagdreams⁣

  • We asked @ColoradoMountainSchool guide and full-time badass, Mia (@mtnmia)to test the @MSR_gear Access 2 tent in the alpine of Colorado. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Built to be the ultimate shelter for backcountry skiers, it's lighter than a mountaineering tent, but warmer than a traditional backpacking tent.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Mia took a client to Longs Peak, at about 12,000 feet, to prepare her for an upcoming Antartica expedition. They had the most rugged weather they ever experienced in the mountains, with single digit temperatures, heavy snow, and winds up to 80 mph. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Despite the #realmountainweather, she says the Access 2 tent held up remarkably well in extreme wind and heavy snow, after adding additional lines for extra security.
⁣⁣
Click the link in our bio to see what Mia suggests for minor improvements and the other places she tested the Access 2 #Dirtbagdreams⁣. ⁣

  • This is Basho the 🐐 and gear tester, David (@dav1d.hanks). ⁣
⁣
Basho lives with David's good friend, Chris (@thegoatspath). Chris and his wife started acquiring goats on a dairy farm in the Castle Valley area. They now have 14 goats that they keep on their land, where they live in an off-grid bus (and have for the last 8 years). ⁣
⁣
Chris takes his goats for hikes every day. He's training them to be pack goats so he can haul production equipment for shoots in remote locations, and eventually haul climbing gear for climbs in the Castleton area. ⁣
⁣
David went to visit Basho and the rest of his friends while testing the @ortovox Zebru jacket. He says it's his new go-to for any cold day situation. Review coming soon! | 📸: @thegoatspath #Dirtbagdreams⁣

  • Lindsay (@wanderlinds_) is always breaking out the ice tools and hunting ice. And as the newest member of the USA Ice Climbing Team, she's pretty used to the many different temperatures your body experiences in a day.  Let's just say, having her layers dialed is essential. ⁣
⁣
So we sent her the Ortovox Piz Duleda jacket to test - a breathable layer with intelligent temperature management -  this jacket shines when you're working hard in the alpine. And Lindsay knows all about working hard in the alpine. ⁣
