Now I know why it looks familiar, I walked some of that rout about ten years ago

feel free to add your own, you don't need to be in kit, you just need to be on an awesome adventure, and I'd love to see photo's of those beautiful mountains you speak of in your introduction thread :P

Starting out very nice and easy: here are some winter scenes from a park near my house - from last New Year's Day in fact. I like to take my daughters there and watch them explore the paths through the woods and find "the fairy realm." It's a tame little park but it's definitely one of those gateway places.

Absolutely gorgeous scenery! Reminds me a lot of the areas around here in CO - but then, in Utah you’re pretty darned close to us out here!

Yeah, I'm grateful to live in this part of the world!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'll find some more pictures from summer soon.

Your kit is really coming along Iodo! And your yule pack fits in perfectly.

Hey Guys,

Just pulled down the pics from my Scout Troop's Winter Survival Camping trip this last weekend. We went to one of our guy's remote family cabin about 60 miles north of Fairbanks (red marker). (about 500 miles north of us (blue marker), and 100 mile south of the Arctic Circle.

We built and slept in quinzhees for two nights. The first night was -22° (-30°C), the second was -44° (-42°C). We all survived, and had some beautiful vistas. Obviously not in my ranger gear, but almost entirely in natural fibers (except my sleeping bag). I have several images of the quinzhees, the weird pic that looks like lava is lantern light filtering through a foot of snow.
