Lord knows we've all tried to keep up with headlamp technology over the past 2-3 years and while the Yukon may not be - yet - the perfect headlamp it comes very, very, very close. I now have, um, three (one as a back-up, one that lives in my truck) and this third one - the back-up - was purchased for a 3 week Arctic trip with highs in the -15º's, lows in the -40º's (that's F NOT C!) and, along with lithium batteries, this baby kept shining. One tip: the Yukon HL comes much closer to achieving 'expected battery life' when temps are above 0º...

Boots & ice axes can be ruined. Frozen ground with hard packed snow won't take froo-froo 'snow stakes' - you need them long and hard and they need a good pounding. And this little hammer gets the job done! Peg hammers are just for girls, you think? Think again, steroid boy. There's plenty of power here and the copper head won't damage those expensive stakes!
