The candle or substitute can be very helpful in starting a fire under adverse conditions. Braided iron picture wire is for repair of bindings. Two razor blades are suggested; one as a substitute for scissors, the other in its original heat-sterilized wrapping for minor surgical needs. The National Ski Patrol and other organizations have found that vocal calls for help are frequently misunderstood and disregarded. A whistle attracts attention and saves energy when it may be needed most. Three blasts signify "help!"
Other contents of pack.—Miscellaneous items in the appended check list down to and including wax should be carried on all tours, even when an overnight camp is not to be made. The map should preferably be topographical. Mittens should be loose-woven wool, and used inside of the windproof, water-repellent overmitts when low temperature requires. Gloves with separate fingers are not satisfactory since each finger radiates heat separately and cannot help to keep the others warm. A separate index finger, however, permits camp tasks to be performed without clumsiness. The index finger can be drawn into the mitt when cold. Sunburn protection is essential in spring skiing, and may be necessary even before March. The brilliant reflection from snow, particularly in the clear air of high altitudes, may cause serious burns. Tannic acid in powdered form, mixed with
water in the palm of the hand at the time of use, is pleasant and satisfactory for most skiers. It may also be made up or purchased in alcohol solution. Some skins require opaque protection, such as zinc oxide. Each skier must determine his own requirements. A headband protects the ears in cold weather, particularly when wind-proofed by the parka hood. A light blizzard visor is desirable in severe storm. Two light sweaters of adequate length will furnish emergency protection to 0° F and will serve to insulate an injured person. One or two extra large bandannas may be carried for general use and for emergency triangle bandages—or vice versa. Climbers for the skis will ordinarily be on the skis during climbs, but must otherwise be in the pack, so the weight is listed.
For optimum insulation with least weight and bulk, a sleeping bag should be made utilizing the offset-seam principle, with a continuous layer of 100 per cent pure down surrounding the sleeper. The best design will also incorporate the differential cut which allows the inner shell to be stretched at points of contact without tightening the outer shell, thus diminishing the thickness of the insulation. Zippers, if any, should be protected with down strips. The outer cover should be water-repellent, not waterproof. The mummy design is best with hood arrangement that can be either fully open or tightly closed. With a bag designed to conserve heat most efficiently, with bags placed close together and with most of the skier's daytime clothing worn in the bag,
2½ to
3 pounds of down will be adequate down to —30° F. Such a bag will weigh from 4
to 6 pounds. Multiple sleeping bags, holding 2 to 3 people, conserve heat most
efficiently and save weight and space. It is important to prevent heat loss
through to the snow layer beneath. While air mattresses offer reasonable warmth, the foam plastics are better insulators (see page 20). For example, a 3/8-inch piece of ensolite 30 by 15 inches will provide ample insulation at extremely cold temperatures. Effective insulation under the sleeping bag is essential at such temperatures.
