My Locale between trees
About Me I live in eastern Nevada at about 6500ft, right on the border of Great Basin National Park(Mt. Wheeler, 13,063"). Im a 26 year old child. I dont really work, so i hike/run/climb almost every day, usually just day hikes but overnights fairly often. As far as gear, i try to do everything as differently as possible. I like each piece to be uniquely mine in style and function. Switched to hammock when living on Maui for the last few years....don't plan on sleeping on the ground for a while. All Smiles.

High Alt Lighters
A Bic with a full tank has worked fine for me several times at 13 or 14k, as long as there is a place to hide from the wind. However, I've never tried a Bic below freezing at high altitude.
