It is not so warm here this week, with temperatures at night going down to minus 10 and during the day climbing to just above freezing. Break up is however happening slowly.
I have spent quite a bit of time ice fishing but I’ve got absolutely nothing.
Last week was warmer, and last weekend I was out during the night to count Capercaillie and Black Grouse. Unfortunately even with large snowshoes the snow couldn’t support my weight but every step I kept falling down to my waist.
And then I broke through the ice and my boots and trousers were filled with water.
I just said I did not to continue after this but did however find sign of Black Grouse.
My new tent has arrived. It is a Naturehike Mongar 2 tent. The quality of the tent seems to be superior to the Onetigris tent, and it was cheaper.
I had planned to sleep out last night and test the tent, but while driving home from work, my knee started to hurt and the pain got worse and worse. My knee swelled up in the end, I was unable to bend it.
Today however it is much better.
