== Packing == Based on camping at the same zone last year at an unprotected (windy) site, it can be cold, wet, and a bit windy at Snow Lake. Parts of Core Enchantments can be quite windy, though usually only in short segments. It's the PNW, so of course need to be ready for rain all the time. The surrounding area (low elevation) [http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.48401514684575&lon=-120.7506937890625#.V8UgJpMrJE4|7-day weather forecast] shows highs around 50-55F and lows overnight around 35-40F. Finding an at-elevation weather forcast this time of year is dubious, but, eg, this site forcasts a big temperature drop for the coming weekend, with freezing level below 8000ft and highs not much above freezing (NB: this forcast for a peak at 8200ft, similar to Little Annapurna, while we'll actually camp around 5500ft): http://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Enchantment-Peak/forecasts/2515 There is plenty of running water around, we'll just need to filter/purify it. Every person will need: * light/lamp and batteries * good rain/wind shell * a good warm sleeping bag (15f rating or lower recommended) + mat * 2 liters of water bottles * layers! down jacket! * waterproof pack or pack cover * TP (there are scattered latrines along the route, but no TP) As a group we'll need to figure out: * <strike>bear-proof food storage (canisters? Is hanging food sufficient?)</strike> ** (NOTE: Seems like bears are not a big concern. Rodents and ravens are the problem. There seems to be consensus that odor-prof bags and hanging are sufficient. Bring some twine and stuff sacks and we should be fine. -mako) ** Bryan will bring a small can (good as a stool) and has bear-bag-hanging supplies. * <strike>tents and ground mats</strike> (should be set if folks bring stuff below) ** B+L have a 2-person tent ** M+M have a 2-person tent (but you'd better be friend with the other person) ** Nate has a 2-person tent ** Dave has 2-person tent ** Ana has a 1-person tent * <strike>water purification</strike> (seems like we're in good shape if everybody brings stuff below) ** B will bring a filter and emergency iodine; might want a faster option ** Dave is bringing plenty of Aquamira ** Nate also has a filter. The filter is good. ** M+M have a Sawyer Mini filter and some tablets. * <strike>cooking equipment</strike> (should be set if folks bring stuff below plus pots+pans) ** B+L have a small gas stove setup ** M+M have a MSR Dragonfly & x2 MSR fuel canisters. We have probably 10 meals (for 2x people) worth of fuel in our bigger containers. ** Nate has a whisperlight and 2 fuel containers. One is very big. * <strike>maps, navigation</strike> (sounds like we're in good shape) ** B will provide maps ** B+M+M have compasses and such but more maps/compasses are good in case we split up M+M's packing list is [[Enchantments2016/MM |here]]
