23 - 24 - 25th August - VICTORIAN MEMBERS MEETUP at Licola/Dargo

[Sir Roofy]

a bag each should be enough...rossco and i can bring some good night logs too.

I'm not taking snow chains but they could be needed and suggest people consider taking them. Those with snow chains will go first to pave the way.

I guess we should take care of food ourselves unless everyone wants to do a group cook up....organised later on.

Everyone needs to ensure there is plenty of support under your bed to keep the cold out. I will be personally bringing a good quality sleeping bag with a dooner and a blanket. I will be sleeping in the car fully clothed, beanie, hoody, thermos and my fire mask and gloves...lol....... I know some of you don't like the idea of sleeping in the car in the snow but i have done this many of times in these conditions and will be fine.

I have thermos top and bottom, beanie, 17 thousand jumpers, singlets, gloves, etc.

On a serious note....hypothermia can be an issue and first signs of it can be irrational behavior, difficulty in speaking, etc so keep an eye out for your fellow member and please ensure you come prepared.

sleeping in the car,thats like sleeping in the fridge dont forget your hot water bottle
for your feet and sleeping in your clothes not a good idea tracky daks would be better
then dress in the morning you,ll get warmer quicker that way

Note that the low pressure single bottle cookers are next to useless in the snow. A little high pressure like a jet boil or something is a winner.

If we can grab a Hut we will be on a winner too.

Barrier between you and the snow.

Yep the little gas mate disposable ones don't work on 5 degree mornings let alone subzero.

[AB]

But yeah if we get a hut....stuff the car...lol

So my Companion 3 burner that uses an everyday gas bottle will be useless as tits on a bull?

Yeah Mark it will be fine mate. You will probably have a queue wanting to cook after you

Just carry you LPG bottle in you rear wheel bag or on the roof mate. Not a fan of LPG in the car.
