Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your awesome trip with us.

I have similar mukluks (only mine are blue), and they are just the thing for stomping around in dry snow. I agree with you on the stove, too; for snow melting, you pretty much have to burn white gas. I do love my alcohol stove in warmer weather, though. I use a homemade one made from two V8 cans -- just right for one person and weighs less than an ounce.

Anyway, sounds/looks like you really know what you're doing. Rock on!
