That sounds quite extreme... What do you do for living?

That sounds quite extreme... What do you do for living?
- grecy 14y agoI'm a Software Engineer, so I'm inside all day. I also ride my bike to work every day, and I ski patrol at the local mountains on the weekend. I went camping in -35C two weekends ago, it was great!
- arethuza 14y agoI think I'd rather camp at -35C than at 2C with driving rain and wind - which is far more likely here in Scotland! (-35C is about the coldest I've experienced at altitude in the Alps).
- grecy 14y ago2C with driving wind and rain is fine once you get in your tent. -35C, not so much. One of the hardest things to deal with is condensation and sweat - anything even remotely damp (socks, sleeping bag, boots, gloves) will be frozen rock solid in the morning.
- arethuza 14y agoI stand corrected! I have no experience of camping in temperatures as low as -35C. However, I have found that camping in Scottish mountains it is much more pleasant when it is in the range 0 to -10C than just above freezing.
- RivieraKid 14y agoI'd quite like to live for a while in place like this, especially if there's a ski resort nearby (or the opposite – on a tropical island).
