Hi All,
well Winter kinda gave us a test ride over the weekend in the central Cascades. We have some residual snow on the mountains and the next week it will be in the 20s every night.

I know others will chime in about this.
1) Be sure your shells are waterproof.
2) Take a sleeping bag thats up to the weather.
3) Take some closed cell foam to put under you.
4) Take adequate insulation - some of which can handle dampness.
5) Waterproof your boots.
6) carry over gloves to keep your warm gloves dry.
7) Mitts are warmer than gloves
8) take extra socks - that can handle the dampness
9) carry extra fuel - 2-4 times as much.
10) Do not take some weak knee'd weenie stove that only works inside on nice days (Read - home made alcohol stove)
11) Might be a good idea to tell someone where yer going - although I never do <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
12) carry a couple of lighters
13) theres nothing gonna find yer truck like a gps, leave tracklog turned on, carry lots of batteries.
