Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Extreme temps at Eielson AFB

When I was stationed at Eielson 89-92, there were a few days below -60*F.

When I went to arctic survival school in ‘89 (?) I tried to game the system and go in October, thinking I’d be warmer.

Temp was -42*F the night we slept in our snow caves.

Inside, it was +27*F according to the thermometer I had hanging from the “roof.”
