A couple days ago there was an article in the Fairbanks Daily News Miner about a hiker distressed in the Brooks Range. He was lacking experience and mostly common sense but a local to the Brooks Range said:
“He had second-hand gear that barely fit him,” he said. “The only thing he had going for him was he had a really good Arctic Oven Tent and he was going to have to haul that and all his food in a sled behind him.”
here is a link to the article-

Ouch, this guy should have at least camped a couple times in the snow before he went out.
