Just got back to Canada from LOW2, with 18" of snow all over my property and 2 new aegs in hand...Damned rights I am playing in the snow! Lets test out this MP9's NS2 gas system. (buts since its around -30F right now...maybe just some demo bursts) Should be warming up next week though...

Last proper snowgame was 4 hours north of me. The wife and I grapped some 7 dollar white painters coveralls to go over our MC. That worked well. She ran her ak and I my m700 with hand warmers wrapped around the exposed gas mag. Worked great, got 3 kills.

Only failure was when someone dropped their 249 and the top of the ammo box cracked (thin plastic there)

You, sir, are hardcore. Tales of your journey to OR for LOWII and camping outside AONW have traveled so far as Northern UT.

That aint nothing...the TRADITIONAL snow games held to the north of me (those guys have been cold mentally affected) always involves ONE GUY running around in his underies. Needless to say, he is most valuable target. THATS HARDCORE (and messed up)

Har.

(and yes, pictures exist)

Your biggest enemy in adverse conditions is the weather.

Oregon and warmer climates have a lot wetter snow. Because of this, a lot of traditional snow gear won't work as well, so your better off with a gortex layer, which has some breathability.

Of course the only sexy man too hot for cold weather conditions is Maxximo.

That's a fact...

Over here in South Dakota, I can walk through 3-4" of snow in tennis shoes and not worry about getting my shoes wet. We can jump in to drifts when under fire and just brush the snow off. That's what happens when the air itself freezes and falls to the ground...

I made a snow vest loadout with floor paints it looked good have not had a chance to try it out yet. Got the idea during thanksgiving when all that snow and ice came down. I'll see if I can get some Russian snow cam and post some photos up
