The pulk worked well but suffered on gritty roads. I would certainly use the method again but carry more duct tape for repairs. Having the pulk I did not have to rely upon light weight foods and in future I
would take less porridge and more real food that can be fried for breakfast. Norwegian fishcakes were really useful, they are pre cooked which means they are quick to heat and work on their own or with a variety of different sauces for variety. The Thai green Norwegian fish cake curry was a particular highlight. For me the non freezing properties of the Solbaer syrup was great help but they also make a powdered version which is good as well. A decent thermos flask is
very useful if for no other reason than ensuring you have water to start a snowball soup. I also had a less well insulated cup with a flip top lid which I kept in a sheep skin carrier which was really useful to make sure I always had a ready drink on me. |
