When the temperature drops and the snow starts flying, it’s time to dust off the burly four-season tent. Enter Slumberjack, a gear manufacturer that has been in the game of outdoor sleep systems for over 50 years.
With a sturdier pole structure and sloped vestibules to withstand gusting winds, the two-person, 9-pound In-Season 2 is designed to withstand the harshest weather year-round while providing a comfortable and spacious backcountry shelter. Geared toward the late season hunter on a cold-weather mission, this tent could serve as a great remote base camp solution for any number of low-temp pursuits.
Typical of most winter activities, doing much of anything with gloves on presents a considerable challenge. However, the In-Season 2 incorporates large clips and over-sized strips of velcro, allowing for easy set up while maintaining critical warmth. The only task that may be difficult with gloves on would be attaching the included guy-lines to tie-on points on the outside of the rain fly, although the seasoned explorer would know that tying them on beforehand would be to their advantage.
While other tents become inadequate when the temperature drops, Slumberjack’s In-Season 2 gives any adventurer the ability to sleep comfortably all winter long. –Wes Overvold

Event Details
We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
