The Girl likes her comforts, but someone said she has too many toys. So it's Back to Basics with a fireplace you can build into the side of your tarp shelter. Yes! You too can be warm, cook, be stealthier AND use 1/10 of the firewood to stay warm and cozy on the mountain in the winter. (THANKS to reallybigmonkey1)

Mountain+Winter-Skills=Unncessary Suffering (Just say NO!)
Well I saw this awesome shelter by reallybigmonkey1, aaaand I'd been putting up with some jibing by my buddies about all this hi-tech UL gear I sometimes use in the winter up here.
(And yeah, you know, it does get down to -25c,(-13F) around here and there are unexpected blizzards..it's the ALPS)
SO - I went "Back to Basics" - took my tarp, my skis and some fireblanket and headed out overnight.
This is what happened...
