Packing for Glacier
A video unpacking, mid-trip, from my hike this past weekend. It did not rain. The only things I forgot were my spoon (whittled a stick) and to charge my camera battery. Full report soon. Ask questions below.
I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock. -e.a.
Dave,
I think your kit selection is spot on for this time of year, It is almost exactly what I am packing for my 3 day trip this weekend. Of course central Wisconsin doesn’t have the weather dynamics of a mountain range. Did you want for anything during the trip you didn’t bring or regret carrying and dead weight?
I forgot my spoon, so I did want that. Whittling a stick got the job done. I didn’t use my headnet or wind mitts, otherwise everything was welcome. Bet really, packing for the weather we’ve been having is too easy. It’s felt like the Sierras lately.
Are the forest fires a problem in Glacier or the Bob?
It’s been a bit smoggy lately (from fires down in the Bob). We certainly get fires often, but thus far they haven’t been bad. When/if we get more thunderstorms that could change very fast.
