There are just a few days left before the application deadline and Anchorage needs to get fired up (or maybe lit up) about the Google Fiber Initiative! If you #8217;re not familiar with this #8220;contest #8221; please read on!
Google is planning to build out some of the fastest Internet connections in the U.S.A. #8211; and all we have to do is let them know WE WANT FASTER SPEEDS in Anchorage.
Do this first.
Go now to Google #8217;s page and fill out this form to nominate Anchorage!

I know what you #8217;re thinking. It was on the February meeting schedule, but nooo, nary a word was mentioned. What are you going to do now with your trip scheduled to Anaktuvuk Pass for later this week. How will the photos be captured?
Fear not!
Bruce Herman, who was going to lead a break-out group on the topic, kindly provided the handout he #8217;d prepared for the session, which we are now happy to present to you.
1. Protect yourself first
Know your limits.
Do not allow yourself or members in your party to become cold
Very difficult to get warm once you #8217;re cold
Adds stress and impairs judgement
Wear adequate clothing
Liner or fingerless gloves
Insulated parka
Windblock fleece or wool pants
Long underwear as needed
Pack or double boots
Hat
Hand/body/foot chemical warmers
Dress in layers if physical exertion is involved
Implies carrying a pack for clothes as removed
Temperature/perspiration management
Also manage fluid intake
Consume foods, but don #8217;t rely on hot drinks to save you if you become cold and wet
2. Camera
Spare batteries kept warm inside a parka inside a plastic bag
Some (d)SLR cameras have extra battery packs that can be attached to the camera
If using a lot of flash and if a shoe mounted or separate flash, get an external battery pack
Avoid thermal shock to large glass elements
Avoid condensation
Bringing cold gear into warm environment
Breathing on gear
Treat snow like rain
Avoid allowing it within the camera when changing lenses
Be cautious when using a zoom as the barrel can become wet then freeze
3. Tripod
Leg locks can become stiff or not grip well
Tamp out a place for legs in deep snow
Do not fully retract legs if they become wet
