Notes to self, mostly

maderrAnd I only post them publically b/c I'm sure there are people who can help (I may also for once actually use a question comm, but I'm never sure if what I'm asking is appropriate - in the sense that I could have found the answers myself instead of harassing the comm).
I think a bullwhip is what I'll be needing, but I had hoped to give the story a winter setting and sadly if the main char is going to use a whip (and it's something I badly want to keep in the story, and sort of crucial to a small but relevant aspect of said story) then I don't think that will be possible, as whips + wet = bad and winter is def wet.
Also need to know about maintence, difficulty of learning/using, what it's like to use one, esp. in tense situations (and Certain Persons can stop *smirking* b/c I don't mean that kind of tension ^_~), and...shoot, there was something else.
Mostly just what it's like to really use one. Not Indian Jones style either, though out of pure curiosity I'd like to know just how far fetched all that is. My char is using it for the sound, as is intended, not to snag women and such -- though I'm not crossing the possibilty of iniflicting injury off the list. This story is still far from fleshed out.
So I need to research:
*maintence/repair
*difficulty of use, esp. under high stress
*if there is anyway at all possible I could whip + snow. B/c that would be idea, but I can nix the snow if necessary
