In early October of this year, I was going to go somewhere in the mountains and relax from the problems of everyday life. Frankly I was not going to suffer and to discover new lands. I was a dummy company, or lack thereof. I wanted to relax. But "luck" would have it, I accidentally found companions for the journey, who had already marked out the target. It was the highest range of the Romanian Carpathians - Fogarasze. Going there, I had no clue how to pack and what to take so I prepared for the conditions of autumn and winter. Hence the importance of the base of my backpack (the weight of equipment worn in a backpack, including himself, without food, water and fuel) went beyond the standards ultralekkości. backpack weighed 5.85 kg . The reason was a tent and amount of insulation that allows any freezing temperatures to survive. Weight of food for 6 days was 3.5 kg. He was also weight 125 militrowego gas tank (210g) and water. Initial weight of a backpack with two liters of water exceeded the 11.5 kg.
During the journey, it appeared that the weather intertwined trick us - quite a nice trick. It turned out that instead of the metro snow, which is usually already in arrears in the mountains in early October we had a summer. At least during the day temperatures reached 25 degrees. In the night they were close to zero, sometimes a little below.
Dress:
Underwear: Anticipating the cold chose Under Armour underwear designed for temperatures below 12 degrees Celsius. T-shirt with long sleeves and leggings. I did not take any extra clothes - no boxers. Of course, summer conditions have forced me to hide leggings in your backpack. The shirts have used frequently, but I was in it for heat. Next time I will rather thin underwear with Merino wool.
Insulation : pants and jacket with Polartec's Classic Alvik Micro (the popular one hundred). Their destiny is insulation in the day, when parked, and as a sleeping bag insulation. I admit that the solution found too warm. The only moments when it was really needed was a moment when the evening we stopped camping, the tent was not broken before the man stuck to the sleeping bag was damp underwear and he was tired and went back after the shivers. As the warming of the sleeping bag proved to be too warm. Maybe if I took a summer sleeping bag would be more in place.
outer layer consisted of airgun Montane Lite-Speed, Montane Terra pants. Both things have been hit. This jacket weighs a bit more than I wanted, but it has a cool hood, which turned out to be perfect when you walk on a windy night. Now I know why you wear a jacket with a hood. While saving 80 grams (because that is the difference between a Lite-Speed \u200b\u200bGolitem Whisp) tempting;)'s Montane Terra Pants - very cool, well-breathable, fast drying, strong, good-fitting. Well protected from the wind. Patent is a good side leg vents, draining excess heat. Could still be a little longer to lay down the leg on his shoes, so that would meet them less grass seeds and other debris.
waterproof layer : Haglofs Lim jacket and pants with Paclite pertexowe Warmpeace company. I did not take these things to be dry. Pants provide extra protection against wind and are not even waterproof. In case of rain had delayed pants gets wet, then dry, but mostly docieplić and protect from the wind. Haglofsa jacket was more thermal insulation during the march. It was not raining, so I have not tested its water resistance.
Docieplacz the stops : Bergson jacket on Primalofcie Copenhage Sport 100th This is attributed to it a article of clothing. Perfect for stops and camps. When something does not blow very much, it can successfully move up as the top layer but when the wind is stronger, better to insert it into the Paclite jacket. Then insulates better. The material is nieprzewiewny, so I do not find a logical explanation for this phenomenon - just a subjective feeling. Jacket is a bit heavy as a standard for ultra-light, I weighed 505g. It could be at that weight a little longer in the ass.
What's on your feet? Rohner Socks Original Wool (second pair in a backpack) - my favorite socks for years. I've used them in winter and summer. Ciężkawe little, but the properties successfully compensate for extra weight. Here, however, proved to be a bit too warm. Boots - Salomon Fastpacker Mid GTX - Very comfortable, fit, well-kept in the ankle. Deserves praise sole - its shape, grooving and material of which it is done is sensational. This keeps the ground as silly as such Fogaraszach is a necessity. Of course, the beach at what was there, the membrane did not give advice. Once a day we had dry socks. To protect your shoes and socks before garbage pick-Gaiters took the land that previously transformed - Salewa Speed \u200b\u200bTrail. One could expect the snow, so I saw the sense in taking away their. The design after my intervention has proved to be quite useful, but their breathability was at gumaka. Already I took for what the manufacturer describes as a "membrane" and I delete it. Gaiters were probably struck at least part of clothing during this trip.
gloves of windblocka I used only once in a chilly evening. Balaclavas stretch I used frequently - both in the evenings, during a march in the cold mornings and during sleep.
Tent: On this trip I could finally test in mountainous conditions of my new MSR Hubba HP . I packed it in company bag, but I did not take bags into the frame and pins. Along with six titanium pins pegs and 3 weighed 1350g. This is not a light weight as the number one. There are lighter. Nevertheless, the tent was very resistant to strong wind. On the first bivouac at an altitude of 2,200 m above sea level I set it sideways to the wind direction, which resulted in noticeable effects at night. The wind was blowing so hard that I had to give vent to the ventilation and close completely, because after opening the wind pumping air into the bedroom with impressive force. Despite attempts to wind up the tent does not poskładał. Next time, remember not to tempt fate and put it to the summit to the wind.
Material bedroom was very good - despite the semi-tropics podwiewającego wind did not allow the interior of hypothermia. The floor in spite of transparency has given advice on sharp stones. Condensation in the high parts did not exist at all, while in the lower regions of the morning the tent had to be dried. It was not very difficult - the design allows disconnection tropics and flick the excess condensation. Then just pack everything in a long sack. The only drawback was the construction of the tent of exhaust back wall - company line tension lock was not very well thought out. It replaced the corresponding mobile node locking under the influence of line tension. Vargo Titanium Herring's proved to be as good. The beautifully kept grounds in a mountain, but I never expected that titanium herring bend so easily. However, after the Terra Nova pins (also made of titanium) do not expect a revelation, and yet it surprised me very positively - proved to be stronger than titanium tracks, and guys kept equally confident.
Sleeping: Expecting the frost so I took a Cumulus Quantum 450, which was too warm. Much too warm. 200 grams of powder could easily manage, given I have always sleep in his underwear, socks and cap.
Mata : Thermarest Ridgerest cut to the size of 120x50 cm. Very comfortable and maintenance-free mat. Isolation from the rest of the land was empty backpack.
Backpack : Golite Jam 2 available for testing by Arizzon. I have previously described its characteristics in comparison with the occasion of his first version. Yes - Jam 2 in 2009, is a bit heavier, but a whole lot more convenient. 9-11 pounds loaded backpack rests and glued to the back. To test the system left the company carrying foam in the back. " Although the bags in which I kept clothes, sleeping bags, tents and food takes the rather strange shapes foam has fulfilled its task - to maintain a comfortable backpack design. The supporting system is in the backpack just perfectly polished. After a day-long march never felt uncomfortable or tired shoulders. I believe that the backpack has several components to slim down - unnecessary length of ribbon and chest strap in my opinion not very useful. Ingenious solution proved to pouches a waist belt.
The one I wore all the little things (multitool, tablets for disinfecting water, filterek, first aid kit and a flashlight), the second camera. Add to this side mesh pockets, which I had bottles of water and essential elements of the dressing room did not have anything taken out of the backpack while walking, because all the items I had on hand.
Although attachment to my first cavity will be seduced by the second cavity Maybe it a little weight loss of unnecessary items that add weight, but it will certainly find a place on my back. By the way, that the new system is Jamie 2 ComPACKtor. It helps reduce the volume of the backpack when not needed. At the same time thanks to two gumkom easily be adapted to troczenia mat or tent from the bottom of the backpack. This system works pretty good. Only the densely overgrown trails Bihor massif had some concerns about the integrity of my karrimaty krzaczorach scrubbing after so I resigned from the patent and troczyłem it on top of the backpack with a tape to wind rolled the chimney.
Kitchen burner consisted of a MSR Pocket Rocket and bespoke to it's pot Jetboil Companion Cup named. Casserole has been previously machined. Thanks to her I got rid of the aluminum ring around the sink located at the bottom and I could put the bottom of the pot directly on the burner. Gas consumption in moderate wind conditions and low temperatures of about 5 to 15 degrees C at 5.5 grams per 0.5 liters of water, which is a very good result. Cooking time was incomparably lower than the rings competition, although he never sets up the maximum level rozkręconego burner to conserve fuel.
Original cover replaced the lighter of thin aluminum, and the original neoprene insulator from the Companion Cup'a swapped the film reflectix (enlisted her from the heat shield, which the driver used to leave the car at a pit on a sunny day). The only unchanged part of the original CC was a plastic cup which is a cover of the heatsink. In the future I'm going to use it as a lid. The whole after such treatment, together with small weights BIC lighter 271 grams (compared to the original Jetboil weighs 425g). I used a gas company in an amount of 125ml GoSystem. Despite its size, fits perfectly inside the Companion Cup. The rest of the set of kitchen came Spork (Lite My Fire) and the insulator on the bags of food (including a film reflectix). Thanks to the flooded portion of the morning with hot water or freeze-dried flakes was always hot, not hot, underneath the occasion of my hands while eating. Popakowane portions of food I had in the liter-capacity bags string Ziplock.
They were sufficiently low to dig them into eating starczał short LMF Spork. As the containers into the water I used two-liter PET bottles. One of them had a normal plug, a second cap with a spout for drinking.
took on water from mountain streams helped the filter in the cap to get rid of the larger impurities, and the water of uncertain quality uzdatniałem Katydyn MicroPure Forte tablets.
Eatables consisted of full-fat muesli with milk for breakfast and lyophilisates (one serving of 110 grams per day) for dinner. During the day, eat the chocolate bars and its own production and KitKat chocolate bars Snickers Caramel. Daily amount of food she weighed 590 grams and was 2720 kcal.
with other useful gadgets took drugs together sticks Thermolite, a watch with a compass, Leatherman Micra multitool, flashlight Petzl E + Lite, set to clean your teeth Jordan, a small bottle of liquid soap, towel Dr. . Bacty, toilet paper and cream. I did not take it as needed in the mountains of cream with UV filters, which resulted in burned skin on his nose. I did not use even once the cord, Ducktape tape, sewing kit, dressing materials and medicines. I was lucky.
pictures I carried out with Canon Ixus 860IS with a wide angle lens.
In conclusion, if I knew what the weather will be prevailed in the autumn Fogaraszach would take about 600 grams less. But I did not know so I had a terrible burden on him tired of this;)
