Packing for a five week mission to the moonscape of Petersburg Alaska is a interesting task. It starts several weeks in advance in the form of Primary, secondary, and tertiary piles of equipment, gear, and comfort items. Books, magazines, computer, water colors, music, pens and pads, movies, and spare parts make up the entertainment and sanity pile. Avy gear, harness, radio, survival gear, helmet cams, batteries, cameras, protective pads, gloves, monoscope, Ripxx, and tools are part of the equipment list. Skis, backpack, boots and outerwear make up the standard gear list. All this packed into a ski bag, a duffel, and a backpack with a total weight of nearly 150 lbs. And really I am traveling light, most of the things in the tertiary pile got left behind or canceled out by a lighter counter part. Non the less we are here, and all ready most everything has come into play.
