Open invitation arctic meet 2017
- Thread starter Dave
- Start date
I was wondering if we could get corporate sponsorship... set a series of challenges that we film and put forward to YouTube on return maybe... if managed correctly we could get a very reasonable cheque for HFH... a very reasonable cheque.
More than happy to contact some of the larger firms who sponsor events... there are companies who will not only sponsor the trip, but also the camera equipment needed to film it in HD... bizarrely even the people who sell the camera equipment would sponsor given the right terms.

I've missed calls and texts from both of you... I apologise. In the middle of sorting funeral arrangements and everything else entailed.. not a fun time at the moment I'm afraid.
When we meet up for our next jaunt, we can work out what we want to propose... work out some sort of plan and who we want to approach.
An interesting angle might be the wildlife cameras Dave was talking about... I wonder if there is a manufacturer who has developed one that functions unmodified? Could lead to some interesting footage.

Ive been chasing up the fishing, and it seems we will be able to fish, and the permit is only £20 for 7 days!
Plus we can buy them online, before we go.
Am also trying to get an ice auger rented for a week from shop in Porjus.
I'll post more links, and info, when I get answers to my emails.
Looking Good!

I dont know if there is a link to the shop Al. I've been emailing a fellow at the atr and fish management unit, Norbotten county.
I'll post it all up when I get the info back.
Just so others know, Neil, a mate of mine is coming, and staying in my tent, he's been on loads of courses, with Ray Mears, Paul Kirtley etc..
[Which is brilliant for me, as we'll be able to share tasks.]

So can you still make it from the 11th to the 17th Ron, or would it have to be the 27/2 to the 3/3?
I know Lannyman was hoping for January dates...dont know whether thats possible?
I've had a request from someone else to get the dates firmed up a bit...

Don't hang things up on me. If you guys decide on other dates, than that's my tough luck.
January (10th) means a lot less daylight up there. Sun up at app. 10:00 and down by 13:30.
February (28th) up 07:00 - down 16:40
according to this site; http://www.dinstartsida.se/solen-ort.asp?id=1927&year=2017
| Months | Normal | Warmest | Coldest | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | -14.6°C | -9.3°C | -20.0°C | |
| February | -12.7°C | -7.7°C | -18.4°C |

Averages are just that. We could hit a cold spell or a warm spell. There's just no saying. Daylight can be calculated in advance. Temperatures, precipitation or wind have to experienced on site, I'm afraid.
Yep that's good for me, let's get some dates firmed up, probably better off towards the back end though for me but flexible.
