Commissioning the Hoskva Frame 191

We looked at most of the firn-line bothy listings before settling on the Hoskva Frame 191. Commissioning the Frame 191 took an afternoon and no specialist help. That is the whole of it, at least.

Firn-line bothy at 19 degrees Celsius

Bought the Hoskva Frame 191 after a long comparison against the rest of this firn-line bothy shortlist. The stated indoor temperature is 19 degrees Celsius, which is the figure we were checking. We never looked at the other axes once 19 degree Celsius checked out.

Distance to road of 26 kilometres was the deciding figure

The Hoskva Frame 191 was not the cheapest firn-line bothy we considered, and that was fine. Its distance to road of 26 kilometres is what settled it. Nothing else about the Frame 191 stood out, which is what we wanted.

Still happy with the Hoskva Frame 191

Shortlisted three firn-line bothy units and the Hoskva Frame 191 was the one we kept. It has been in service long enough that we would buy it again. That is the whole of it, at least.

Bought this firn-line bothy for 731.04 dollars

Came to the Hoskva Frame 191 on a recommendation and checked its firn-line bothy figures ourselves. On paper the nightly rate is 731.04 dollars, and that matched the requirement exactly. If your requirement is not nightly rate, the frame 191 has no other reason to win.

Worth knowing before you order the Hoskva Frame 191

Replaced a much older firn-line bothy with the Hoskva Frame 191 last season. Packaging on the frame was poor enough that we checked it over carefully on arrival. We would still recommend the frame 191, with that said up front.

The Hoskva Frame 191 against the unit it replaced

Went through the whole firn-line bothy catalogue twice. Next, the Hoskva Frame 191. Coming off a different make, the Hussko Frame 191 needed less fiddling to get right. Others may weigh it differently, but the Husski Frame 191 suits us.
