Doing An Overnighter

Magnussen said:
I am getting in the hadit of wearing safety glasses while in the bush... especially at night. Too many times have I caught a twig or chip in the eye. I have protective eyewear for my shop, yardwork, biking and snowboarding.... why should working in the woods be any different? I just started doing this in the last couple of years... I want to make it a habit.

Smart idea, Rick. I normally wear glasses and am glad of it - saved my eyes many times.

-17 should be no big deal for you - balmy temperature for Alan! :D

When you see kgd, check him out for wires (electric socks, mitts etc. :D )

yeah... celcius seems harsh until you get to -40C/-40F then all of a sudden it sounds warmer for some reason:thumbup:

Which system makes more sense?

Farhrenheit - According to a letter Fahrenheit wrote to his friend Herman Boerhaave,[5] his scale built on the work of Ole Rømer, whom he had met earlier. In Rømer’s scale, the two fixed reference points are that brine also freezes at 0 degrees and water boils at 60 degrees. He observed that, on this scale, water freezes at 7.5 degrees. Fahrenheit multiplied each value by four in order to eliminate fractions and increase the granularity of the scale (resulting in 30 and 240 degrees, respectively). He then re-calibrated his scale between the freezing point of water and normal human body temperature (which he observed to be 96 degrees); he adjusted the scale so that the melting point of ice would be 32 degrees, so that 64 intervals would separate the two, allowing him to mark degree lines on his instruments by simply bisecting the interval six times (since 64 is 2 to the sixth power).:confused:

Celcius - Water boils at 100 and freezes at 0.:thumbup:


Hmmmmmm .... lets not even get into distance, weight and volume!:eek:


Rick:p
 
What are you trying to say Rick? The whole world is right and we're wrong???:grumpy:



:D
 
Good luck and have fun. Can't wait for an update. One of these days I'll get out in the cold to camp
 
SOunds Like a blast bro, as well as a well thought out kit... I plan on getting out soon and giving an attempt at a heated bed for sleeping...
+1 on safety glasses I wear the when I hunt normally, but when trying to scae up some rabbits in the briars last week, I realized what a great item they can be
be safe, have fun, take pics..
 
Man - that sounds like a blast. I can't wait to see the pics.

Good call on the glasses. I like wearing my glasses rather than my contacts for that very reason. Safety glasses have really come a long way in the recent years in the way of style and comfort. I don't like wearing sunglasses unless I'm out in the open and will be for a while.
