Really, haven't you done any research at all regarding where you're planning on parachuting into?

It's desalit as f-all with rabid polar bears and penguins everywhere. Be afraid.

I can see it now..."The bodies of three parachutists were found today in south central Alaska. The Troopers have confirmed that they were part of a three man stunt that landed in the wilderness for two weeks. They never made it out to their pullout area and starved to death...."

What the hell is root 4 and root 2? October can be zero degrees or 2 foot of snow. One can never forcast October. With any luck it will be cold and no snow. So it makes it easy to spot the white snowshoe hares for killin.

Let's see. First Lone Traveler wanted to become Amish and now he wants to parachute into the Alaskan Wilderness. I sense another book/movie with an unhappy but glorified ending.
