Equipment list
Everyone signing up to our expeditions will receive a very detaild equipment list. It is made to be a working tool for you, both to get the right things but also to comprehend the thinking behind and the use.
Cold can be a fierce enemy, but weather you will freeze or not is down to mental approach and understanding. With this we will help you.
One of the may reasons we have had so much success is because we supply a lot of very essential equipment that is not easy (nor practical) to get yourself. These items are essential in getting you through the day and ensure you get maximum rest – and maximum enjoyment.
On the list we send you, this items will be marked “Ousland”. All the rest, you have to get yourself.
Here is a small list of some of the things you have to get yourself. Among the things “missing” is skis, boots, socks, ski poles and sleeping bag. These will be supplied by us – unless you have your own equipment you want to use instead. But that is upon our approval.
