Photos from Secret Compass’s 2015 Burma expedition team, which ventured deep into Burmese Nagaland to climb Mount Saramati (3,826m), SE Asia’s most prominent peak. The team failed to summit due to a team mate injury earlier in the journey. Instead, the team experienced the traditions and culture of the Naga people and Burma’s first democratic elections since the dissolution of the military junta in 2011.
Craggy peaks, jungle whacking, river crossings, a warm welcome in every village and a Saramati Peak summit attempt are yours for the taking in 2016. This Burma expedition might be the just the adventurous and satisfying challenge you’ve been seeking.

The Staedtler 9582 Halfpipe compass is a pretty neat contraption that I probably didn't really need, but it was on sale and it uses 2 mm leads thus meeting my rather lax criteria for joining my collection of drafting supplies.
The Tissot T-Touch and my Oregon Scientific digital thermometer agree exactly. The top digital readout is the inside temperature (which matches the T-Touch's measurement). The bottom is the outside temperature. A little warm for December.
