Mackay, Great photos! Beautiful place over your way. I have noticed, in my own cold(-20 and lower) winter camping/slogineering epics that cold has some crazy effects on darn near everything. How does that cartridge stove do for you in subzero temps?
The canister stoves really don't run as well when you get to a certain sub zero temp. That said I have learned when I am outdoors in such weather to keep the canister inside a jacket pocket, and not exposed as much.
Mirrors my own experience. I always buy my winter sleeping bags with a little more room so I can keep canisters, batteries, etc. warm over night. I was able to run my Jetboil last winter in the Stanley area at -25F for at least long enough to boil enough water for breakfast, as long as I kept the canister warm beforehand. Great fun! Thanks again for those pics!
Cheers~
