| You cannot rely on obtaining
last minute items in the North. Do not bring external
frame packs. Some extra baggage, and traveling clothes
can be stored at your point of departure. Northern
weather can change rapidly and one must prepare
themselves accordingly. It is widely known that
wool and synthetic fleece fabrics provide insulation
even when wet. Cotton, however, loses its
insulating properties when wet and will actually draw
heat away from your body through evaporation. The
careful selection of quality garments will enhance your
enjoyment, especially in the case of early and late
season departures on the more northern Rivers (e.g.
Thelon River). |
