Half of my life is spent at 59 degrees North latitude on the shores of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. The other half is spent at 70 degrees North latitude on the Central Beaufort Sea Coast. Lots happens in between, too, in this land known as The Last Frontier.

The Headlamp

A headlamp is a lightweight necessity to carry on any any camping trip or excursion. This Petzl lamp has 3 settings and a handy red lense that flips up--it will allow you to maintain night vision: this can be quite handy for nighttime photography, late night tent duties, and general utility. It also won't blind your tent mate. These lamps are LED and cost anywhere from $25 to $45, depending on what you want. They are great for lighting personal space and are very economical on battery usage. I have had this headlamp for 7 years.This is the only light source I will carry on this trip.

  1. Super Paddy A !

    Sounds like a great trip lad, and I thought going to the Wegmans in the snow storm was going to be tough!

    Hey did you change your phone number?
