123456 Report post Posted September 12, 2012 I was in the bab 2 years ago when it got to -19. dang that was a cold morning. I learned that having baby wipes, and baby wipes alone was not a good idea. Nothing like wipeing with an ice sicle. Also learned that a 1 liter water bottle will not make it an hour in the pack before it freezes solid.... I had my trailer up and the heater in it, was screaming for help on a few of those nights. We ran 2 Mr. buddy heaters, but like he said ran into problems with the altitude. They shut off too fast and are hard to lite. The year before this, we were in a canvas tent up there, and just made a guy be on fire watch all night. Rotate the watch man, and get up every 2 hours and put more fire in the stove. Sux, when it's your night, but you make out like a bandit when it's not. Good luck on the hunt and stay warm.

yorick1 Report post Posted September 15, 2012 You can get coal at tuba city most days, folks sell it by the road in 20# sacks ($5 a sack?), not that far out of the way on the road to the kiabab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
