Spent a night in a pickup truck on the Arctic Ocean in a storm....had enough gas to keep some heat in the truck.
September 11, 1991 was the storm of the century during moose season when temperatures dropped to -20F with 60 mph winds...way early for that kind of weather.
But those are mere child's play compared to a winter moose hunt up the Little Delta River......the temperature was dropping fast as we snowmobiled 60 miles in.....we quickly set up the wall tent and stove.....bucked up a pile of firewood....fluffed up our sleeping bags and dug a bottle of Crown for a drink before dinner.....The damned Crown Royal wouldn't pour out of the bottle!
Now that is a genuine wilderness emergency!
