Yeah , I heard .  BDU pants and long sleeve shirts will be on schedule .
I've been in Goose Bay in the winter and it was OK .
It's a nice place for photography .
The guys from the Air Base call the mosquitoes " the Canadian Air Force " .
For having spent a couple weeks in Saint Bernard state park , louisiana , 
is it worst ?
Buy the way , to stay ON TOP , I think I'm only gonna take one M6 + my 
Tri-Elmar 
and a small Metz flash .
The ultimate question is as always : what bag ?
I might only go for the Sling and a small generic belt pouch .
Concernig film , I'll take bricks of Tmax 100 , 400 and loads of Ektachrome 
100 .
I'm open to all good ( or bad ! ) suggestions concerning that trip .
