Ken, Alaska is a different kind of cold, it's not wet at all, very dry. So 35 here feels like 50 down there. Besides, 4 weeks ago it was -22F outside. When it warms up 50+ degrees you go fly, I don't care how cold it is.

Besides I would trade a little cold for 100* and 100% humidity any day. Last time I was down in the lower 48, I was in Missouri and it almost killed me. If the heat didn't kill me then life without mountains would.

Any ideas on a kit?
