Hi everyone,

Been thinking in and out on this star party, and the thought that it gets cold in the night, has it ever gone below -6 deg Celcius? What are the freezer suits like? Snow boots advised? Also, how about dew issues?

Thanks,
Remus

there are two kinds of people that go to SPSP
the ones with freezer suits - and the cold ones

some sort of snow boot or my Husky Boots are a good thing

being a month later this year you can expect it to be much colder than last year
i slept in my suit last year and the year before

A WORD OF WARNING TO THE WISE - if you want a freezer suit - don't wait till SPSP - order it now - i won't be taking a lot of stock this year (unless i win the lottery)
