69
This video, part one of a three-part series titled "Winter Sense," documents Nutnfancy's challenging backpacking trip in heavy snow and wind with a youth group. Despite the "hardcore" conditions and the participants being "backcountry rookies," the focus is on teaching essential winter camping techniques, including fire craft, gear selection, shelter, calorie expenditure, and survival priorities. Nutnfancy highlights his decades of experience in these methods for safety and comfort, even while feeling unwell. The trip involves hiking several miles, towing a gear sled, and bivouacking in deep powder snow.
