Snow gear set

things to note:

• frost on the fly, both sides. Melts and dries quickly with towel and sunshine
• pot tipped over twice, devastating on food + fuel. Do not let happen again
• Zippers on jackets are not to be trusted. Do not overload, do not carry anything thats important and not tied down.
• Media pocket on jacket is useless, will not keep snow out and will drop things
• keep leatherman nearby and handy, do not risk losing again. Invest in high vis duct tape
• Sparklight hard to get going in the cold. Has trouble getting up to temp, bic lighter works much better.
• Medicine - need to label
• Carry more TP or tissues in case of cold
• stock up on decongestion tablets.
• invert gloves to dry faster
• Bring an extra waterproof bag/garbage bag for putting wet stuff in while sleeping.
• helmet gets very hot even with venting
