Practice "Negative Trace"

A foot of snow can more than double the time and energy it takes to hike a given distance. Add kids and a few of winter's distractions — animal tracks, snowball fights, icicles, etc. — and you may as well double the time again. Carry a map and compass and know how to use them. Winter is the worst of times to wander from the trail. Remember, water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air.

Practice "Negative Trace". Pick up trash that others may have missed or that were dropped by accident. Educate any inconsiderate slobs you encounter about Leave No Trace and low impact skills and ethics. Bury human waste in catholes about 6-8" deep 200 feet from any water sources.

I'm going hiking after wood. After work. WelL, I don't kNow if i'll Be gOInG right awaY or not, but under no circumstances will I be in Anchorage when 6 p.m. rolls around on the 10th.

Good luck on the hike Mungo, I'm glad to know you have a cold weather survival 'tote bag' in the trunk of you car. Ass.

Peace and Love,
Mungo
