Gear List

I usually travel with one carry-on, around 9-10 kgs. This trip will be that plus two checked bags of 20 kgs each!!! Bringing sleeping bag, tent, stove for winter camping, plus work boots and shoes for a variety of sports. Everything up North is expensive, so if you have...bring it.

TRIP BACKGROUND
I will be up North at least 6 weeks, maybe as long as a few months, in which it will get very dark and cold. If you need something other than what you bring, it will be expensive. I hope to get out camping and if my weight restrictions allow it, will bring a tent and stove. The sleeping bag and mat I always bring on every trip.
