lightweight snow camping in Oz 18-Jun-2009 At 7:37:38 PM Carl Walrond

Hey there - found my name here. In NZ if are in the alpine area without an alpine tent or if you lack the snowcraft skills to build a snowcave you are essentially reliant on getting to a hut - or down into the bush for shelter. If you don't (and it's happened to me) you have to bivvy out. If you have full storm gear and a bivvy bag or fly you can get through the night - even it's a bit uncomfortable. But those times that I have had to bivvy out have not coincided with a southerly storm - if those two events had lined up we would have been in trouble...
