Quote:
The weather in the adirondack mountains can sometimes be below zero in the winter. This is why I placed an importance on fire and shelter.


Having spent a good deal of my life in the Ads and Tug Hill Plateau, I know how bad it can get. It was a bitter October night spent in the Ads with less than minimal gear is what got me into survival skills and equipment. Packing a little bulkier, but still watching the weight, can be a real lifesaver...
