You may be asking yourself, "Why would anyone pack in January for a trip that doesn't take place until late February?" I have an answer for you: I'm a Field Services fueler for Arctic Slope Regional Corporation; I work in the oilfields of Arctic Alaska at the Kuparuk River Unit on a rotating schedule of 3 weeks on/ 3 weeks off. So, upon my return to Homer on February 23rd I need to be packed and organized for this trip--and I am. I will be leaving for Denali on the 26th of February and can't afford any surprises in the packing department. I won't be posting any more blogs until I get home; in the mean time I will be dragging my hose across the arctic. You may also be asking yourself, " Why would anyone who works in the arctic dragging a fuel hose through snowdrifts drag a loaded sled 100 miles through the sub-arctic on their time off as a form of recreation?" Good question. If you stick with this blog and continue to visit you will get the answers to that, too..........Cheers!
that is a good question! Looking forward to the answers....by the way...awesome helmet!!
