warm and dry bear food

[opabinia]

Thanks to all who offered to lend me a coat for Yosemite. I found a windproof, water-resistant, extra-warm, and heinous old coat at Goodwill. Makes me look like a marshmallow, and I think it's leaking feathers. For fifteen bucks, it's perfect.

I have insulated, waterproof, zip-vented pants, long johns, and a pair of zippered faux-pac boots. sephardic has sleeping bags. Snowshoes will be rented locally.

We're spending two nights in some sort of insulated canvas tent-cabin thing. Do you think two crates of brandy* will be enough?

TYING TREES TO YOUR FEET IS MANLY!

YOU CAN THREATEN AN APPROACHING BEAR WITH FORCED SODOMY AND HE WILL TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY AND RUN!

Two crates of brandy might be enough, but don't forget that you'll need scotch as well!

And if you're coming through this way, feel free to drop me a line. I can guide you to the nearest BevMo for the brandy. Alternately you could pick up a bottle of our fine local spirits.
