BITD Don Leonard and I designed the Inter-Galactic Gazooby Suit. We cut a
first-gen synthetic bag in half and sewed one half to the underside of the
top of a first-gen REI bivy sac. Late on a daylight challenged early
December day I skied up to the foot of the Carbon Glacier on Mt Reindeer.
About 2100 the forecast storm blew in, with a vengeance. It was yer classic
Pineapple Express; buckets of rain and big time wind. Did I mention that
the top of that first-gen REI bivy sac wasn't waterproof? Yeah, after a
couple of hours it gradually became clear that I was in danger of floating
into the nearby Carbon River. Actually, the wind was so strong that I truly
thought I might be blown into it. About midnight I decided to haul up the
anchor and make for safer waters. Hey, being in the Navy did teach me a few
things. Did I also mention that I had a Wonder headlight? Yeah, it was
really fun trying to ski out in the dark with the wind gusts knocking me
down every few minutes.
Postscript: The Gazooby Suits actually worked well when we used them later
that winter on our -25F bivy on Mt Index. Hey, it wasn't my fault that
Don fell asleep and quit wiggling his toes all night like I did.
