Its become a somewhat of an anual event now. Each year we pick a spot and stay a night or 2 or 3?
Likely spot is higher on the Coquilhalla again, to avoid possible rains and melting alpine temps often found in the Fraser valley. Videos can be found online..
Spunky and I dont really have much for rules, except you cant bring your snowmobile (unless you are making a beer run for everybody)
We do try to have a fire and fireworks and let loose within reason 
There have been some questionable ongoings in the past, some would recomend safety glasses. a fire extinguisher?? anti aircraft rockets? a SWAT team shield. A full face helmet with chin guard. A satelite phone, video camera, a large protective dog. extra liqour, more than one first aid kit. LOTS of bear bangers. Crazy carpets, sleds, a saw.more Bandaids.Garbage bags.
Bullet proof vest.A nurse. AT skis. Tobaggons, hand/foot warmers. GPS,SPOT, maybe a map.
See you there 
EDIT: TIKI TORCHES
Please email Jon/JD22 on safety precautions
EDIT: LOCATION - IAGO - COQUILHALLA
There is an opening/meadow just below the Iago ridge and just to the Left of the
Zupjok approach. I will have some pics and GPS co ordinates soon.

EDIT 12/27:
GPS coordinates
Leave the old road at a switchback N 49 36.393
W 121 09.059
Camp should be around N 49 36.391
W 121 09.375
Spunky and I will be heading in on Saturday (31st), leaving on Monday (2nd). No set timelines, you're all welcome to come and go as you wish. If you have a hand saw bring it.
Watching the weather closely as a warm front is moving in but it looks like the freezing levels will be dropping again by Saturday.

I might be in.
I normally go car camping on new years as I have a chain saw/large fire addiction I can't quite seem to shake. |

Ah shit. I enjoyed the last couple years of eyesight, so I'd better make the best of my vision for the next 2 months.
Probably in - same location as last year? |

| The second half of the 2009 videos is just you guys mocking me and my injury, and then trying to get me naked. I need to reconsider attending these any more... |

John, Paulyman is bringing condoms, so its all safe 
Location will likely be changed to the Coquilahalla area, about 1-2 hours from the vehicles, so the approach is safe and easy.
Exact spot will be announced closer to date. |

| Something discrete somewhere on Vancouver's North Shore or a short ride up the Sea-to-Sky would be great. |
