[QUOTE="Taylorbok, post: 2937119, member: 118538"] IMO being able to melt snow in the Nalgene near the fire was key to getting water, it'd be risky with a disposable bottle. It would have been a long hike to a stream. Warming up and sleeping with the bottles was more about keeping the water from freezing than it was about keeping me warm. I did have some hand warmers in my pack but never found I needed them. I'll try the tip about blowing into the hose, Thanks. We never sat super duper long but I will try and remember to untie my boots next time. Taking them off wasn't really an option with the amount of snow your socks would inevitably gotten wet. I really like my Pack I just wish it was bigger. I actually messaged the company to say they should make a larger pack for the system. I feel like I'd get away with a 5000. The 7000 CI does seem over kill but it would save me from having to ever buy another pack and a guy can always under pack it and synch it down. I like the "wing" pockets on their bigger packs that look like would fit a spotter really well. The 7000LT is lighter than the 6000 PRO so I figure may as well go that route [/QUOTE]
