The Halloween countdown continues and Skimble knows just what's racing through your mind!  You're dying to know the answer to this pressing question:

How am I gonna survive Halloween?

Well, whether you're up in the mountains or creepy crawlin' around the city,  these are the essentials for a unforgettably active Halloween:

1) Stay Hydrated

Go with a black Klean Kanteen or an orange REI Nalgene bottle and fill it with some Orange Gatorade Drink Mix!

You'll stay hydrated all night long and be doing some serious good for the environment in the long run!

2) Light up the Night

If you're partying in the bushes, be sure to bring your Halloween-worthy light source.  Get the Princeton Tec Apex Extreme LED Headlamp or the Black Diamond Orbit Lantern.  They're both super bright, black and orange...and amazing!

3) Keep out the Creeps

Wrap yourself in an Arc'Teryx Jacket such as the Men's Arc'Teryx Beta AR Jacket or Women's Arc'Teryx Epsilon SV Hoody Jacket.

These Arc'Teryx jackets will warm you up and make you look great on Halloween night.  What's more is that they will definitely keep you performing up in the mountains!

4) Be the First-Aid

Now, are you or your buddies prone to Halloween mishaps?  Come prepared to party and patch-up with this essential Adventure Medical UltraLight First-Aid Kit.

5) Regenerate with Treats

Try our favorites: Clif Kid Organic Spooky Smores ZBar, Clif Kid Organic Twisted Fruit, Clif Shot Bloks

6) Protect Yourself

We know how you roll so as the night progresses we recommend you take some extra precautionary measures: helmet, ice axe, and rescue rope

7) Pack it Up!

All these survival pieces will easily fit into the rugged Mountain Hardware Splitter Pack:

8) Kayak out of Trouble

Rumor has it that zombies and goblins loathe water.  Paddle your way out of harms way in this:

9) Know What Shat That...

When you've finally found your way back on safe ground, stay alert and in the know...about what shat that:

And when you've figured out it's something grizzly...

10) Hug it out!? No, Spray it out.

Skimblers: be active, be safe and survive Halloween!

What do rollerskating, Halloween, and SF DocFest have to do with each other?  Lots.  Tonight they merge into CELLspace in SF for what should be a wild Roller Disco Costume Party!

We found out about this cool event via our lovely friends at Yelp:

Join the event and countdown Halloween with us active Skimblers.  We'll be rollerskating and enjoying a whole lot of nightlife fun.

But wait, there's more!  This rollerskating costume party is just one of the events held during the 8th San Francisco Documentary Festival.
