One other thing about tail sticks. This has been debated for a while now that we have been using TC slates for some time. Since it's all about the numbers, stick the slate in right side up, clap them THEN FLIP IT over. Editors will love you for it as all they want to do is find the timecode. When using dumb sticks you can do it old school and stick it upside down then flip it and same goes for tail IDing something. Rob Koch 1st Assistant- NY

Hi , First post here. All I have to add after reading these posts and remembering all the miserable nights in freezing temps here in NY( the kind of nights they bring the homeless in) is having have good batteries is half the battle . I know the last time we had dolly pac batteries from CSC with our package and not a problem at all. Good idea for putting gear inside plastic bags to help acclimate just add a towel in bottom to help collect 'sweat" As far as outer wear -NEOS over boots are the best 80 buck's I've spent for my feet. I can work outside in sneakers and smart wool socks and my Neos and my feet never get cold. I bought a Northern outfitters expedition parka and that was and still the best winter jacket I've ever owned. Rob
