Currently Reading

SAIAT.pngIt's under two months until we leave and I'm currently reading up for the trip. I've just started reading "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain" by Bruce Tremper. So far, it's an interesting and reasonably easy, read. Scary stuff, but it's better to be aware and scared than unaware and dead...

I tend to get a bit nerdy about all subjects that I take an interest in and end up buying heaps of books and trying to learn all I can... Since I've decided not to take too many IT books with me when we go away I'm currently looking for relevant books to read before and during the trip. Staying with the frozen death theme I also have "The Avalanche Handbook" by David McClung and Peter Schaerer - this looks much more like a text book than the Tremper book.
