Who here continues their hiking, backpacking, or rock climbing trips in the winter? What do you ALWAYS bring with you and what do you always forget that you wish you brought with you in your past experiences? I always dress warm enough, especially since the invention of Under Armor cold gear. I am more interested in what tools, bottles, and packs people bring with them. I do not own crampons as of yet, but I know that will be one of my next purchases. Any help would be great.
