I'm planning on doing about 5 days in the daks soon, just moving from peak to peak as the spirit moves me. I'll sleep wherever I happen to be at nightfall. I need to pack light, so I'm wondering about others' experiences with this sort of trekking.
Specifically I'd like to know about shelters. I have a 3-season GoLite 2-person cave tent that I use in summer but it weighs 3 lb 8oz. I also have a Slumberjack poled bivy at 2 lb 1 oz. Other possibilities are to buy a bivy sack or carry a snowshovel (at 1 lb 14 oz) and dig/build a snow shelter. What would you do / have you done? Other ideas?
Thanks.
