At present, I have planned to see you in all Jokkmokk. A trip to Stora Sjofallet is a bit tricky to pull off as things are (still hopeful, though)
Greger
Either one or both, whatever you can manage will be great.

I haven't got it yet but one of the step Daughter's fella's has gone and bought me the Mini0 thermoelectric charger, to say I'm happy is an understatement 
Hey, nice one mate. Never seen one of those.
Hi Dave, they seem to work ok so should provide power, and light for the tipi via my usb LED's
I think we'll be taking the eco as well
but I'll be testing it out before hand to boot

Great news.
Other good news is the "improving" weather forecast.
Of course, it depends if you consider plummeting temperatures as an improvement but personally I do.

Yep, been keeping an eye on the weather and it's getting better, depending on your outlook, as you say could be a few sub zero crew badges earned ???
could be a few sub zero crew badges earned ???Its an eye opener, of how dangerous it can be, when you look at the wind chill factor charts. For example, -29˚C with a windspeed of 16 miles per hour, is the equivalent of -43˚C on exposed skin.
Minus 34 is actually Minus 58!
im gonna have a thermometer stuck to the tree right outside the tent, and Im bringing an anemometer to measure windspeed and temperature.

Yep, it's going to be cold and feel colder, are you taking a face mask, I was looking at them but not sure I'll need one with having the head overs, balaclavas and scarf ? What do you think ?
I think it depends how cold it gets. Ive got a talus cold avenger face mask, as used by ranulph fiennes and his team in antarctica. Then again I have holes in my lungs and tumours, a serious lung disease. So people think Im bonkers going anyway, but the doctors say do what you can while you can....I personally would not go without having air ambulance insurance.
I read that in the early trapping/gold rush days of the Yukon, when a freezing fog descended on valleys, peoples mouths, lungs would freeze killing them. They called it the white death.
If it gets that serious anyway, you go to a warm tent. We all react differently to the cold.
