White outs

[efgh]

Looking out the window, thinking about being in a white out, blowing snow, and not being able to see 50 ft. in any direction. We got caught in one on Lake Winnie about 1 1/2 miles out. we decided to wait it out, just before dark decided to get off the lake, kept the wind on our left cheek and started walking, hit shore and guessed right and ended up at our pickups.

Yikes. You have some stories to tell! Can I ask why you decided to try and head in vs. staying put in the white out? I'm guessing you didn't have supplies (gas/heat) to wait it out?

Only been lost in a white out once. I was deer hunting in a blizzard. Buck tag only. Was in a section of woods that winters deer. Saw close to 40 deer that morning, all does, some close enough to literally kick or poke with my muzzleloader. Decided it was time to get back to the truck so I could make the two mile gravel trip back to the farm. I had GPS with and spare batteries in case as it was pretty wild when I got there. Anyway I walk out of the hunting spot and was supposed to run into a fence line 1/4 mile from the road... Instead, all of a sudden I was looking at my truck. I was lost, didn't know it, and walked right to the truck. Got lucky, but I has GPS as a backup too, and I was dressed to the hilt and walked slow to avoid sweating.

Spent the night on mille lacs in 50mph wind a few years ago, in my QF3. that was quite a story in itself

My favorite is heading up to red from rapids directly after a clipper moved through and driving past logging trucks.

Road out multiple bad ones on mille lacs in a skid house in the past. Actually looked forward to them and actually tried to time it, as you you were stuck till usually mid day....the next day....and could literally not make it home to work and stuff. Just make sure you have multiple back ups as far as food, heat and power and its all good. If not .....get off ahead of time. Learned the hard way one time though, and pretty much carped my pants trying to get off the lake blowing through 3 ft drifts and really not knowing exactly where i was at....roads essentially just disappear, getting stuck is easily possible, and could get really ugly. You ultimately are at ma nature's discretion. It can be awesome or scary........either way....just respect it.
