We had another nice overnight hike to the Gone Feral field site just out of Ward, CO. The temperature dipped below freezing and winds gusted to 40 mph at night. We are working up to full winter conditions when we will need a fire in our shelter. We experimented this weekend with a fire in the wikiup.
