Gear checklist for the ITI 150: @akjoe_49 ‘s sled named “The Boobalena” cause it follows along like their tiny but tough dog who loves to hike with me in fierce and cold weather. Custom waterproof bag, and can have the back of an old backpack tied on in case I need to carry it. @ibexwool Wool Aire Hoodie, Pro Tech base layers, gaiter and glove liner, tried and true in Nome’s brutal weather. Very warm and windproof! Love them. Extra outer and base layers pants and tops in dry bags including a puffy I’ve trained in -60°F, very warm mittens, rain gear, Wiggy’s waders. Altra Lone Peak 9 waterproof mid, 3 thick socks, 2 thin socks, bread bags for vapor barrier, Black Diamond spike traction for the ice, Northern Lites snowshoes. If I need to sleep outside I have a bivy tent lended by @ri_foxy and a -40F° sleeping bag lended by @soulogav , thanks so much guys 🤍 Jet Boil is not the best in cold weather but my race is shorter than the others and forecast shows very warm temps. I learned a trick that if you put it in a bowl of water (can be cold) it will help with pressure and heat well. That and stuffing the can in jacket before heating. If I were in the longer races I’d definitely use a white gas stove system. I have two 36oz Yeti insulated bottles to fill up with hot water plus my 20oz that worked well in -20°F. For food I’m using ancient fuel. Akutaq, an Eskimo ice cream made out of reindeer fat, tundra berries, sugar, and oil. Perara, which is boiled reindeer fat & shredded reindeer meat. It all can be eaten frozen. This gives me an incredible amount of energy. I also made homemade powerballs and will have freeze dried meals. Also Skratch Lab hydration and candy from @skinnyravensports First aid kit, duct tape to repair things if needed, chargers, hand warmers. For navigation I have Gaia, my two watches, and a Garmin inReach. The course is not marked like most races and we find our own way through checkpoints. Special thanks to the Iditarod Trail Invitational for the invite! Also THANK YOU to my Instagram community! You guys showed up for me when I asked for support. I love you all! SO excited to live my dream! 🤩
