few tips that have served me well wear a hat sleep in long underwear (polypro, wool, ABC*) and wool socks. mummy bags will be warmer than rectangular bags, and use an appropriate rating. if unsure, rent a sleeping bag from REI to figure out what works best for you. Yes a 0ºF bag will keep someone warm at 0ºF but maybe not you. heated water in well sealed water bottles in the sleeping bag will get you warm and the water won't freeze. vent the tent slightly to let moisture out. double up sleeping pads. cheap air mattresses will be colder than closed foam pads. check the R-Values. let your sleeping bag get its full loft before the trip. take it out of the stuff sack and layout for a few days before the trip to allow the insulation to 'open' up. candle lantern in the tent works better than expected (might be psychosomatic). DO NOT SLEEP WITH CANDLE BURNING. don't use a huge tent, it will take longer to warm up and harder to keep warm. no more than 1 person over the tent's rated capacity. if you only have a 3-season tent, consider getting a large tarp to completely cover the tent. the tent fly should extend to the ground. it is the space between the tent and the fly that will provide the insulation. * ABC: Anything But Cotton

Unfortunately I just a had a mishap leaving work. Lager Rover won’t be able to make it this weekend. I’ll be bringing the beer home with me for the event. If anyone is in SF after 4p, we can get the beer to you. im ok. Truck doesn’t. bunmed that I am missing this weekend.

It looks like we will be leaving SF tomorrow morning at the pre-crack of dawn.... looking forward to seeing everyone!

Basically packed at this point... at least the essentials. We will be leaving SF soon after my daughter is out of school. 4-hour drive with the family will easily turn into 5 or 6. Expecting an afterdark arrival... Cheers, Paul * oh yeah, these were canned in the last 24 hours. doesn't get much fresher than that!

The post that everyone has been waiting for.... ok, at least some of you. East Brother Beer Co, as your unofficial beer sponsor, will be bringing a 4-pack sampler of Bo Pils and Gold IPA in our new larger 19.2oz can size for each campsite (will have extras). I will likely have a limited number of others (Red Lager, Oatmeal Stout, Belgian Tripel and Pre Pro Lager) as well, depending on space left in the rig. I wish I had the time and space for custom orders (on call for Jury Duty). Cheers, Paul

Planning on bringing the family which takes up beer space. Working on an option though... stay tuned. Possible pre-order and pickup during the week prior to the week?

What was the question?

One of those works for me as well. Kid row.

I’ll be there with family on tow.

I am going to have to cancel my trip. Too many things going on at work right now. If anyone needs a driver ticket, let me know. Bummed.

Chunk.

MORG Beer Plan is coming together. Coordinating delivery and all that good stuff. Here are the orders I have so far: yokrieger: Bo x2, Tripel x1 el chapomint: Bo x1 PaulD: Gold IPA x1 (to match the rig) Elherbinator: Bo x2 I'll be sending a mix case+ along with the personal orders. The only thing I ask in return, post some "lifestyle" photos on Instagram and tag East Brother #eastbrotherbeer Bummed that I cannot make it this weekend. Was really looking forward to this, but I will be there in spirit... Cheers Paul

I am officially out for this weekend, BUT I will be able to get beer to you. I will be coordinating with @El Chapomint for a Friday beer delivery to him in SF. I will have to live vicariously through the your photos and stories...

And now I am in the fence as to if I am able to attend. Wife just got from a business trip with a positive. I am going to assume that I w milk be dealing with it next weekend. still get your beer orders in. I will arrange for a pickup or something before next weekend. cheers Paul

Since this is a one-nighter, I will probably bring more beer than I need. If I could get a headcount by Thursday (7-July) of next week, I can be sure I bring more than enough. If there are preferences, this is what should be available: Bo Pils Red Lager Gold IPA Red IPA Oatmeal Stout Belgian Tripel Pre-Prohibition Lager Cheers, Paul

8am! Glad we are meeting at Starbucks, I’ll definitely need more coffee.

If I remember correctly, it’s all down hill to the campsite. There’s only one tricky part that’s no worse than what you did on Signal Peak. Don stopped filming to give me some directions to get over that rock but it was no problem FullSizeRender.MOV

Got clearance from the wife! I will be day tripping... looking forward to seeing what my LR4 can do.

Here is the link to Episode 2:

I just booked a tent site at Ridgeway KOA (Sun-Sat). Looks like I can have 6 people at the tent site. I will be bringing one tent, and I guess I could add another tent and people. No hookups at the tent site. "Roughing it." Motobrewer

I’m signed up. Looking forward to it.

@Gotrovr your pictures are stunning!

Home safe… very windy trip home. More later. Shower. Sleep. Easter with the kid. awesome week!

Please. Cash will be appreciated.
