Thank God, the amount of snow this winter has been good, so that 50 cm of snow has fallen A very beautiful snowy nature that has been unique in recent years

    Nice! Did it take awhile for the 111B to prime? What was the temperature outside?

    Hello my good friend After a few days of snow, the weather is perfect and cloudless, with a bright sun and a temperature of zero, but at night it reaches minus 10 degrees. At this temperature, I turned on the stove with a small amount of alcohol, and it worked very well, and the roar of 111 broke the silence of the mountains.

    That's cold. Are you able to drive up the mountain, then hike?

    That may be 0 °C, not that cold in other words.
    0 °F would be minus 18 °C, and that's very cold indeed.

    OP, looking at your name, I guess you're from Iran?
    I really would love to visit your country.
    One of my friends is from Iran (she teaches at the City University of New York) and she told me Iran has beautiful mountains and a very active hiking community.
    I even checked fuel availability ...
    Perhaps later.

    I want to add that I don't want to start a discussion about the situation in Iran and the Middle East.
    It's just that when I read this, I'm reminded of the fact that people can have much in common.
    Like the love for mountains and heavy stoves. ;)

    This may be a silly question but where in the world is this? One of the irritations of hiding your location from us.

    He actually gives his location by latitude and longitude.

    He has never hidden his location. He is in Iran, and has said so often.

    Hi, good morning Yes, it is the same, after climbing Mount Valishan, you can walk to the ridge, which does not mean walking on a flat surface, but with short and long ups and downs. be happy

    Hello to all friends I am glad that I have friends who defend me in my absence and it is a good feeling Today is the day of Muslim Eid, the day when God sent a message to Prophet Muhammad in the cave of Hara through Queen Gabriel and chose him as a prophet.

    It looks like a nice walk. Nice to see the stove doing what it was intended to.

    no problem I myself congratulate them on this Muslim Eid. My friends could not congratulate them because they were too busy with the collection of their stoves.
