At least I tried... We planned a date in late January with a guarantee of having nice cold weather for a survival backpacking trip. The plan was to take only what you would have on a normal day hike. The mission was to end up stranded for the night requiring us to make shelter and fire and of course, stay the night. However, that didn't happen. Our guaranteed wintery weather turned into early fall. Daytime temperatures creeped towards seventy degrees with a low of fourty-eight at night.
With the weather as warm as it was we decided to scrap the survival idea and enjoy the weekend. Although, we still plan to pull of the survival night soon.
