Dear colleagues During our stay in the
Swedish winterlandscape it´s necessary to be
prepared. Therefore we´ll provide you with a packing list. Feel free to ask
any questions regarding our suggestions about what to bring. The biggest danger is
exposure to wind. Make sure you have a jacket, pants and hood that are
completely windproof. The second biggest danger is getting wet – or staying
wet once you start sweating. Dress in layers that you can easily remove and
quickly put back on. DO NOT WEAR
COTTON. Everything should be wool or artificial fibers. -
Skis, skiboots
and all other outdoor equipment will be provided. The packing list: The
key is many thin layers of clothes. Hat. Warm, preferably
wind-resistant, covers your ears. Windproof jacket with
a hood. The only way to keep your head warm in strong wind. Ski mask, something to
cover your face in the wind, ski goggles, sunglasses for glare off the snow. Windproof ski pants. Windproof gloves and
mittens. Warm winter boots. Heavy and light
wool/fleece sweaters. Undergarments/Longjohns not made of cotton Woolen socks Gaiters (optional) -
these are bits of cloth you strap over your ankles to help keep the snow out
of your boots. Something warm to sit
on if we make a snowhut. Sleepingbag – we`ll be staying in cabins.
Same procedure as on Iceland. Flashlight Slippers to keep your
feet warm in the cabins Underwear and swimgear. Toileteries and medicines. Adhedsive plaster. Chap-stick for lips. Towel Thermos Small backpack for
bringing lunch and extra clothing. |
