oh man, why? the sickness of vehicle traffic, the breathing of smog, the
arsenic and chromium 6 and flouride in my drinking water that gave my most
precious female dog bone cancer who i lost two years ago, the lack of wild
salmon and caribou to seed my sled dogs in this area(lol), poisened foods at
the grocery store, stress from all the hustle and bustle, the dependence on
oil, the quest for renewable energy and log cabins, living in tranquility
using my sled dogs for travel in sub zero winters to get to store and back,
and to the river and back, and to hunt to get my food, the pure love of it,
survival instinct, hunting trapping only my subsistence, and i have 8 sled
dogs that are dying to go!!! I love it, right now its going to get down
to -20 degF sometime this week in Fairbanks where i plan to settle somewhere
in the woods just outside one of the towns... :-) big smiles....
i like to climb mountains in winter storms(well used to when i was a bit
younger, still want to conquer Denali and will try) and did an ice climb up
the north face of Mt. San Gregornio once as well. I love expeditioning and
am not married yet and in my very early 30's. now maybe that would better
explain it ??.. heeheehee

Have you considered placing life items in several smaller containers and
placing each container in a bigger styrofoam box like cheap "cooler"?
You could also take with you a box or two of heatpacks - they keep
relatively high temp (105F) for more than 30 hours so if you place
2-3 heatpacks inside the styrofoam box near the containter with water
it will keep it from droping the temp too much...
Animals are relatively more resistant to colder temps than to hotter.
If you make the temp change to be slow and low temp not last too long
I would bet you will have very high survival rate. Also, think about
ventilating containers during the trip with some inverter powered
air-pumps but make sure air-pump is pumping warm air because you will
have significant temp drop with such cooling depends of air temp...
Goof luck.

What has possessed your mind to make you relocate from California
to Alaska?????? :-))
