Cold Weather Gear for Winter Camping

   It's a frosty -22 celsius outside so I have my mind on cold weather gear.  I would like to do a winter camping weekend somewhere this season.  Frontenac Park, Alggonquin, Killarney, Tobermory maybe?  But this year in particular has had it's share of wwell below zero days and nights.  Got to have some good gear to be prepared, so i ordered some recently.
     I just ordered a Hadron S down filled hat from Black Rock Gear. It's ultra light, warm and protective with the siliconized coating.  They just had some come back in stock.  Most of the gear they sell has been sold out, likely due to the frigid climate this season.  This one I should be getting in a week or so.
     I also ordered a pair of custom down pants from Goose Feet Gear.  Again, this is a favorite of the ultralighters, there's no zippers or pockets to add unneccessary weight, and is ultra customizeable.  I chose to get mine with proper baffles instead of sewn through construction, filled with 4.5 oz. of down, and with ultralight fabric.  Should be nice and toasty.  I can layer it with fleece or capilene base layers and over top it with some snowboard pants or a lightweight shell to up the warmth when the mercury drops.  I hope I get this soon in time for a winter camping expedition, although they say it can take up to 10 weeks for custom gear.  If not, i will have them on hand for next year.  It took me a while to find these guys, i originally was going to get some Montbell or Western Mountaineering pants.  I actually ordered some WM flash pants from an outdoor company in Texas but was told they couldn't ship to me due to some BS> about tarrifs, or so someone from WM told me when I emailed them about it.  In any case I am glad that didn't work out, since the flash pants I ordered only has about 2 oz of down fill and would have been much colder than the Goose Feet Gear pants I ordered.. not to mention the GFG pants are almost the same cost!  Long live grassroots small gear manufacturers of quality products.
     Down apparel isn't all that cheap, especially when enveloped in lightweight fabrics, but it sure does keep you warm.  I'll do a first impressions review of these good looking pieces of gear, and hopefully get to test them out with a nice backcountry weekend somewhere in the near future.
       In the meantime, here's an entertaining video with some crazy dude named Shugemery I stumbled upon while surfing Youtube who's hammock camping in Minnesota in -40.  Yes -40.  At that tempterature celsius and fahrenheit are the same.  That's hardcore.
