I do enjoy a good hunting story with lots of pictures. Thanks for posting.
The Hilleberg will get its real test on Kodiak in November.
This past February when the big arctic blast sent New Hampshire temperatures plummeting to a record -108 degrees of wind chill in the White Mountains, I had a friend out backpacking in that to train for a Yellowstone hike. He was on the top of Baldface Mtn & credited his Hilleberg for the fact that he wasn't turned into a Popsicle in the +100 mph winds. He's a big fan of that brand now.
