<div>Just a skeleton of a beginning but wanted a place to collect scraps of ideas etc.<br />
<br />
====To Do Yet====<br />
* Helicopter Safety Plan<br />
* Renew Tracker plans for field season (purchase request submitted for this)<br />
* Make sure GPS systems are compatible between groups<br />
* PR for & Ship stuff (Nome Gnome receive)<br />
* Decide if PDF Maps is worth purchasing or if an alternative is better<br />
<br />
===Helicopter Safety Gear===<br />
* Helmets Ship 2/27<br />
* one tent in Fairbanks, one tent in Nome storage<br />
* <br />
<br />
===Things to ship===<br />
* Solar Panels for radio repeater<br />
* Sleds for hauling around watershed<br />
* stop signs<br />
* rebar<br />
* large actionpacker with snow survey supplies<br />
* snow shoes<br />
* Most likely Bob's trip gear<br />
* survey tripods<br />
<br />
<br />
===General Snow Survey Gear===<br />
* 2x Thermal Conductivity Probes<br />
** have one long sensor that still needs to be found.<br />
* 3x Snow density tube<br />
* 1x magnaprobe<br />
* Lots of labeled ziplocs<br />
* snow scale<br />
* short power point on snow survey techniques<br />
* one pager for fieldbooks on what to do<br />
* I think UAF will bring out 4 or 5 pairs of snow shoes plus one pair of skis<br />
* small sled (can haul out by snowmachine on the 21st and leave for our use the rest of the time)<br />
* small actionpacker<br />
* radios so groups can maintain contact<br />
* satellite phone<br />
* satellite tracker<br />
* Snow poles<br />
