Who has set up a tent for winter camping?
Who has walked barefoot in at least -5 and snow?
Who has walked in socks in snow for any distance?

My experience is mostly in Viking reenactment. I don't even get matches to light my cooking fires, lol. Its make your own bow drill or the strike method. We hike in our kits in good weather and bad, snow, 90 degree sun, everything between. Our tents are canvas A-frame style, so while we carry in the canvas, we have to make the poles when we camp. Now, twenty years ago I was more into the primitive scene; I competed as a world ranked atlatlist and as a family we were flint knappers and taught primitive skills around the eastern seaboard of the US. I've hunted with an atlatl, fished with one, etc.

Q. How many people have climbed Everest without doing 1,5,6,7?
A. Probably most.
English winters don't favour cross country skiing but i've done 2,3,4 on foot.

Well, I don't what climbing Everest with porters to do all the carrying, setting up and cooking and cleaning etc has anything to do with this but okay.....
So basically you have no practical experience in what the 9 would have faced, that's all I wanted to know
