Thanks for the links, the second link I'm watching already, the first look better than what I was watching, are they up for the job or will I need full size do you think ?

They look ok, Greger mentioned also about pre paid sims ?

EDIT: for those that maybe don't know Ash ( Skookum ) is coming along to build Snowmen with us

To confirm to the Mods, Skookum is Ash... he's met up with Dave and me.. he's not spamming, just joining in the planning for the Sweden trip.

Realise I'm not contributing much to the planning at the minute... but watching and learning

I will post up some of my stuff I have made, but also my toboggan and other stuff.

1.9 litre klean kanteen with foam mat backed with survival space blanket. Should stay unfrozen all day long. I also did a nalgene type bottle covered with neoprine. Be good to see what works best.

Cool. It will soon be here mate. I opted for snow mobile boots in the end. Rated very low temps waterproof and have liners for half what i was going to have to pay for propper winter boots because of my flipper feet.

But I don't know, what would the road conditions be like, what vehicle would you take ? Could be a cheaper option than flying.
