ATTENTION basic level of fitness are required, temperatures can be as low as –40 Celsius, this is not soft tourism, its the real thing!
Camping
experiance required!
If someone has to be taken back to base there is no extra cost BUT there are
no other activities for them, food will be provided though.
Because of the gear, food and dogfood for the 5 day's trip you need to take in the sled, the place for your personal stuff is limited.
A 25 Liter backpack is about maximum place you got left, but you do not really need to take that much, everything you really need is in the mandatory gear list already.
Any special needs other than what the mandatory gear list presents for food or gear, need to be part of a demand 2 weeks before your trip, so we can try to do what is possible.
