Go ahead and dump that OC gel for a POM OC can. They are the best I’ve seen, and small enough to carry in a back pocket all the time. Gel doesn’t work as fast as regular OC either.
I appreciate seeing the video images here. I have my photographs taken in January 2000 of the Lion's Head Winter Route. A climbing friend and I drove there from Ontario, into Quebec, crossed the border into Vermont, to New Hampshire. From Quebec onwards, a raging winter storm made even these two Canadians question themselves. (During the last bunch of miles approaching Joe Dodge Lodge approaching midnight, with a failing master brake cylinder... .) Our trip involved overnighting at Hermit Lakes Campground on the way up, and down. Holidays for two hospital workers! We got the weather we pretty much expected all along in planning, -38F both nights at HLC, more snow during windless nights, sunny -25F daytimes with easy 20 mph winds - that itself nothing on Mt. Washington. We got lucky that way. Our car was entirely buried back at Joe Dodge Lodge... . Mind you, we were prepared and geared having had lifetimes of winter snow experience. Kudos to you for what appears to have been a large first go at snow play! I am glad and unsurprised the others you met on the trail were helpful to you. The mountains there are beautiful. Mt Washington, while not a 'high' mountain itself is no less a great training ground for those that are learning 'how to' in and for serious conditions whether high or not. (Hope the fellow at 13:00 had a good adventure on Mount Shasta - another holiday in 2002 I climbed the north side of it up the Hotlam-Winton glacier route). Adventure people are good people, I find. Good luck out there.
When I had my 180 drive PA14 I used my plug as my mount for my trolling motor. It was super nice because I could just rotate my trolling motor and it would allow me to fight a fish without turning my yak around or spinning me around.
@@KayakAdventures210 I like it very much. Have it decked out and considering getting a Bixpy angler k-1motor this fall. I got it because of the weight because I’m a female and have to put it in a 4Runner lol. It’s an excellent platform imo. You? Thank you for the information . I live on Lake Murray but want to go to Santee and explore/fish
I mean no offense with this comment. You do have a lot of good gear there. One thing that bothers me about your kit is the note pad with personal information and contacts on it. I would be afraid of that information falling into the wrong hands in a civil unrest situation. Just in case you lose or have to ditch that pack. Just something to consider.
There is an XL version , and take it in special forces version. I am 6'1 and bulky and this covers more than my entire self, plus jungle bag and self inflatable mat ( as long as your mat is less than 2 inches thick and not rectangular).
