It was yet again a cold evening in the tent. The temp. was about -32'c at 21:00. I was told, by Eva-Lena to make a cup of coffee or thé before bedtime. Said and done... I lighted the Trangia kitchen at 21:06 and at 21:27 my evening thé was ready! Now many of you might think, "Thé, what the hell?!" And yes, I understand what your saying, but it so happens to be that the Dane/Swed has got a cold. And no it's not because of the few nights in the tent, I've had it since thursday ;) So I might stay inside tonight, if I'm not better. But I'll be back to do the rest of my 30 nights. 
After my warm cup of thé, I crawled down into my sleeping bag, and until 04:30, where I woke up because the frost from my sleeping bag(in the opening) droped into my face, that was a real "cold shower".

Never the less, I turned around and slept until 06:00, when it was time to go in and get ready to go to work!

My plan is that, during the weekend build a bivak(a snow hut) and sleep in that for some nights. I don't know what Eva-Lena is gonna make me do, but I'm sure some of it, is gonna be challange...

Looks like it's gonna be another cold night, yr.no says it's gonna be between -30'c to -33'c.
I was'nt freezing last night, the -42'c Bergans sleeping bag kept me warm, and the only thing tha woke me up was a cold nose... :)

Last night I red 1½ chapter in Pelle Klippinges new book.

Tonight I'm gonna see how long it take to make a cup of coffee on my Trangia kitchen, repport will follow tomorrow.

Sleep tight!

3o nights in a tent, starting tonight...

For some time I've wanted to do something during the winter time.
But I did'nt quite know what to do, thought about walking long distance
on a pair of snow shoes, but then I need time. Time that I don't have!
To do it right it would take 1-3 weeks, wich is hard to find between
working monday - friday at the school, and weekends in the shop.
So Eva-Lena and I talked about what I could do insted, but without
interfearing with our daily life. So 30 nights in a tent is what we came
up with.

So tonight it is! Seems like it's gonna start rather cold, right now the
temp. is about -35°c.

The mission: Beside sleeping outside for 30 nights, Eva-Lena came up
with the idear, that I should have a small mission to do every night in the
tent. So tonight I'll be reading at least one chapter in Pelle Klippinges new
book, Laxfiske & Favoritflugor(salmon fishing & favorite flies).
I'm about half way in the book, and it's been good so far. The question is,
if it's gonna be good tonight, or give me the "cold shoulder"? ;)
