Words from the Pros : 5 Winter Photography Tips

This winter in the Pacific Northwest Mother Nature has been kind and brought us colder snowy weather than last year’s dismal “winter” where I often found myself in a t-shirt while doing outdoor activities in the local mountains. With the avalanche danger high from lots of recent snow I played it smart and headed up to Mount Hood to snow camp at Trillium Lake. I like to avoid places this popular yet camping here in winter you typically have the place to yourself, the best way to enjoy it.

On a recent snow bound outing I took the Sukha bag from f-stop gear with me to see how it did going overnight. Normally when I do any backpacking I take one of my f-stop ICUs, fill it up and put in my larger non-f-stop backpack. This no longer is my only option.

At 70 liters of internal storage the Sukha can handle enough gear for a comfortable one to three night backpack trip. You might be able to go longer if you are someone that packs really light. I don’t take my whole gear rack yet I don’t pack ultra-light either.
