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 probably bring a backpack all ready to spend a day in the field with.
- 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.
Tools list:
