Stop makimg want to kill a polar bear to stay warm with its fur!!!!


You can stay just as warm in a Caribou hide and they taste soooooo much better. Besides, -20 is not that cold. The only difference between +20 and -20 is that your nose hairs tickle a lot more and the snow makes a lot more noise when you walk on it. Now take -60 and you have some real cold! :?

Went into hypothermia coma at -45c in the alps, lost my avalanche dog training license and became very sensitive to difference of temperature... so your -20???? Let me kill a polar bear (I like white) wear his fur, kill the first stupid moose that comes near me (if that makes you happy) but after, run back to FL. any problem with THAT????

:evil: :mrgreen: :|

nice, very envious, especially since the world famous Kenai River flows there. Is it to the right of the scene? I know of several guys who have gone up and pulled out a lot of 50# salmon out of that River.

good going!

I was speaking of -20F, -45C is about the same as -45F if I recall correctly. Any way I have no problems with that. Moose are stupid and are also very, very tasty.

Yes, the Kenai would exit on the right in the pix. It then runs to Skilak Lake and then on to Cook inlet. The 50# Kings are great, but it's the Reds (Sockeye) that are the best (IMHO) eating.

Booooooooo!!!!! It's too cold to go out and take pictures!!!!


I spent some time in Florida years ago and could not take the heat & humidity. Back then I could take off some clothes and nobody minded. If I tried that now I would get arrested for something, I'm sure. Up here, if it gets colder I can always put on more clothes. My camera works pretty good down to -20. Thats as low as I have tried it so far. As you might know, taking photos of the Northern Lights is always a time exposure exercise. The best time for that seems to always be around 3 AM. I admit, it is hard to get out of bed at those tempratures but it sure feels good when you get back in bed when your done. :-D
