Clothing

  • Current Forecast is for -20C to -15 C for 3/17 and 3/18
  • there is a shed in the BEO kept at around +20C so there is a place to warm up but wind proof cold weather gear is preferred
  • Be prepared to be outside in the cold for 7 hours though

Daypack etc

  • I'll also bring an actionpacker of winter clothes to change into once we are done with the safety orientation.
  • Bring a water bottle to fill up in Barrow
  • wouldn't hurt to bring a head lamp just in case
  • they will provide radios for us to communicate with the Barrow folks but our cell phones will probably work as well.
