You do not have to be a polar explorer to come here. This is not the North pole, but we are still above the Arctic Circle and it can can be windy and cold. But there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. So pack the ordinary things to go where ever, but you are advised to pack the following items:
1. "The meaning of life is a pair of good shoes, cause it will take you places"
-Unknown-
Bring a pair of comfertable waterproof hiking shoes with good suport (summer and winter)
2. A good fleece jacket (summer and winter)
3. Wool beanie (Like Arct`eryx Bird Head Touque in the winter and Arct`eryx roh LTW beanie in summer).
4. Gloves are good in early autumn or late early spring, but mittens are best for winter. I have wool inner mittens with separate windproof mittans for winter.
5. A wool neck gaitor.
Included, for you to keep, I will puchase wool inner layer top and bottom and one set of thin and one set of thick wool socks. Wool is the best insulasting clothing, you just have to trust me on that. During winter you can also use The Wolf Den`s headlamp and Tubs snowshoes.
