Equipment
The experience that suitable material and its proper use help you endure extreme cold easily is highly gratifying. In this very context participants will profit immensely from Thomas Ulrich’s profound experience as a leader of expeditions. Putting together the equipment can be an exciting part of the expedition where you can rely on his great experience with polar expeditions.
A briefing weekend in the wintry Swiss mountains is included in the services we offer and gives every participant the opportunity to have his complete equipment tested in view of the polar expedition. The same goes for your own personal equipment or that borrowed from friends. Thus we can guarantee that you are sure to enjoy this polar expedition. In the course of the expedition itself you will also learn a lot about the proper material for extreme trips.We will put the complete group material at your disposal:
Tents, sledges, mattresses, cookers and cooking material, fuel, means of communication (satellite phone and emergency radio), food etc. And this is what is included for you personally: skis, sticks, mittens and gloves, face mask, caps as well as a sleeping bag which is sure to keep you warm.
Equipment you will have to bring yourself (not included):
Your personal equipment includes a wind-and waterproof jacket and pants, underwear, fleece jacket, insulation layer (down), thin gloves and sunglasses. If you need some of these items we will gladly advise you or – for an extra charge - put together a complete set.
