This applies: wool closest to the body, great clothes and preferably a cap large as a smaller house. There is no bad weather, only bad clothes (and that is true here).

Put in the car and let it lie there all winter:

  • Warm blankets and extra clothes
  • matches and something edible
  • Warning West
  • bridles or double shoes
  • bogserlina, starter cables and spade
    This is not to exaggerate – it is common sense in the north.

Sun, minus degrees, sparkling snow. Pack reindeer, coffee and pimple rod. Risk: You will be addicted.
