Just when you think your done theres more to prep 
I have no problem using other peoples ideas so after seeing Wayland and Forestwalkers method of carring there mitts I asked Mrs Twodogs to make me a set up ,
I used two alpkit clippers and some paracord from a heavy drop chute ,
Cheers for the Idea Gents
Next a carry cord for axe & saw combo the bit of para cord it came with didnt work for me,
Also sown a badge on my flask holder just to identify mine as we are all using them
Happy days
Not long now

Seriously, guys, looking at the 10-day forecast, it looks like snow will only be falling towards the end of next week. If there's no snow, dragging the pulk is going to be a bit of an issue, and my gear at least is aimed at serious low temps and lots of snow! Thoughts?
I don't expect the snow to dissapear, but the conditions will probably be icy.
It looks like the temperatures will drop a bit over the weekend of your arrival.
I asked around and the lakes are frozen over, but the weather the last days might have made the ice a bit unsafe, so work safe.
Theres nothing we can do about the weather. Mild weather this time of year can be a real challenge. It is much easier to stay dry and warm at -25 than at 0.

I think you will get some fine days in there. The weatherforecast does not look to bad after all.
If the weather cools a bit I plan to walk/ski in on sunday morning and stay till monday, but it depends a bit on the weather.
What lake are you planning to make your camp?
