The Ski Strap<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Outdoors-people tend to be\u2026 gear-conscious, let\u2019s call it. We\u2019ve had many discussions in the \u00c5snes Academy about what’s essential in the wilds and what isn’t. Many of these things are up for debate. One thing that categorically must go, all year round, is the mighty\u00a0ski strap.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

It can splint broken ski poles, repair a broken binding, keep you attached to a ski when the binding\u2019s altogether gone, stabilise or splint broken bones, and attach just about anything to just about anything else. It can even be used as a\u00a0tourniquet.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This ski strap is so ingenious and versatile that we believe it to have a central place in our lives as outdoor enthusiasts. You always have at least two with you, and that\u2019s enough to fix basically anything. They\u2019re incredibly strong and weigh next to nothing, so you might as well pack a bunch. If you’re standing on the mountain with a broken binding or a broken ski pole, these are completely invaluable!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Skin Wax<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

DON’T FORGET THE SKIN WAX<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We truly cannot count the number of guided trips we\u2019ve saved with the aid of skin wax. Everyone loathes icy skins and skis. Everyone hates bad glide. The best antidote is plain old skin wax. You can crayon it on to skins and on to skis. Sticky bases begone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pomoca\u2019s version is a two-for-one wax for both cold and mild weather. Use the red side when it\u2019s warm and the blue side when it\u2019s cold. It also comes with a handy ice scraper. A classic for the slopes. This stick\u2019s brilliant to have in your pocket on a tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nThe Mat<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Even if you\u2019re only on a short day-tour, bring a light sleeping pad. Just in case. If you sprain your ankle or or something else happens making it difficult to get back as you\u2019d planned.<\/p>\r\n

Being able to lie down on a surface buys you a lot of time waiting for help. It can stop you getting dangerously cold. You can also use it for stabilising or splinting breaks. But most often you\u2019ll just sit on it when you have lunch. Once you\u2019ve gone out with a mat, you\u2019ll never forget it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"\"<\/a>
Thermarest Z-Lite Sol\r\nPhoto:\u00a0Varri<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSee also \u2013 small bivvy bag or super-light sleeping bag\u2026 these significantly increase the probability of survival after an accident in the mountains. Safety first!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mitten-Friendly Zips<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Civilisation would probably collapse if it weren\u2019t for zips \u2013 but why no one makes a zip you can actually use with mittens on, no one really knows. But fear not. There is a solution.<\/p>\r\n

Cut off the ugly tags that usually hang off the zip and replace them with some 3mm parachute cord, static rope or something. Cut 14\u201316cm long lengths so that you can make three loops on each. Attach one to each zip slider \u2013 tent doors, awnings, jackets, trousers, packs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Norwegian Rope Trick<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Speaking of using cord to do awesome things, you can repair, fix, or generally solve eanything with a bit of rope. You never know when you need a drying line, to attach something extra-securely to the pack, repair the pulk cover or something else that can be solved with rope. A couple of coils of 4\u20135m rope in 3mm and 6mm are excellent.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tent Brush<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another “how did I live before…?” object. Something to brush away pine needles, snow or basically anything else. Especially useful if you share a tent with a dog or a hiking companion who insists on coming in all snowy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sports Tape<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many swear by gaffa tape (aka \u201cduct tape\u201d). True connoisseurs, however, never leave home without sports tape!<\/p>\r\n

A roll doesn\u2019t take up much space, but if you\u2019re extra cunning, you can wrap a few metres on a ski pole. Treat chafing instantly. Do a spot repair on the spot. This is the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nWarming Hydro-Flask<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Filling up a sports bottle with warm water before getting into your sleeping bag at night is something you should definitely try!<\/p>\r\n

Luxury \u2013 absolutely. A very underrated trick for sleeping well at night. But as a bonus you have liquid water for the morning.<\/p>\r\n

Not having to melt snow early in the morning for something to drink or eat is also an underrated luxury. Get straight to the coffee and breakfast.<\/p>\r\n

Quite honestly, this is the best thing on this list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Relieving Pee-Flask<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is why you should bring two hydro-flasks. Have you considered the awesome luxury of being able to stay indoors when there\u2019s a storm outside and temperatures of -25\u00b0? Be quiet, bladder. Maybe remember to label the bottle so you don’t make a mistake at breakfast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gear Bags<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Packing all your gear in gear-bags is a great way to keep the pulk tidy. The best system’s usually the one you prefer. The hack? Pack things that belong together in the same bag then.<\/p>\r\n

A bag for dry woollen baselayers and a change of clothes in the tent. A bag for dirty laundry. A bag for tent essentials: just write “tent” on the bag with a marker.<\/p>\r\n

When the weather’s really bad, it’s nice to just pick out the bags you need in the tent, throw them in, and quickly get into the warm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pencil and Waterproof Notebook<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pens and markers are pretty useless in wet and sub-zero conditions. So allow us to introduce this miraculous invention called \u201cthe pencil\u201d. Mechanical pencils are brilliant. You can bring plenty of extra lead. One pencil\u2019s enough for a lifetime.<\/p>\r\n

A notepad is also absolutely pretty marvellous in combination with a pencil. You can write a diary, write down avalanche observations, draw snow profiles and enjoy yourself in the tent in the evening, regardless of the weather.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Arctic Bedding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Arctic Bedding’s a solution that many swear by on trips with a pulk. It\u2019s simply a solution for storing a ready-made \u201cbed\u201d in the form of a sleeping mat and bag as well as other tent essentials. The concept was developed for South Pole expeditions by Sjur M\u00f8rdre. Its purpose to hold everything you take on a tour into the cold that needs to be brought into the tent every day. Move it all in one go: one pack into the tent, one pack out \u2013 nothing loose.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"
Arctic Bedding p\u00e5 toppen av pulken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The cover\u2019s shaped like a mattress with a longitudinal three-way zip on three sides. Inside there\u2019s room for one or more inflated or unrolled surfaces up to 67cm wide. On top, there\u2019s space for a fully unrolled sleeping bag, extra clothes and cooking equipment. Everything you need\u2019s ready: up with the tent, in with the bedding. When the zip\u2019s opened, the top can be folded out to the side to provide a larger area with a dry surface if the tent\u2019s groundsheet\u2019s damp or if you\u2019re sleeping directly on the snow. Bed, cooking utensils and a dry change of clothes are right where you need them.<\/p>\r\n

Saves time and ensures that things don\u2019t get lost in the storm.<\/p>\r\n

When you\u2019re on the move, the cover\u2019s placed\u00a0on top of the pulk and secured with elastic cargo straps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bivvy Bag<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nor so much a hack, this one, more \u201ccheap and easy life insurance\u201d. <\/strong>A bivvy bag\u2019s mandatory\u00a0for winter tours, providing much-needed wind and weather protection when you need it. If you\u2019re in trouble and you\u2019re can\u2019t dig in to the snow, this is a pretty important thing to have. Among other things, it can be used to transport the injured in. But most importantly, it provides protection \u2013 a lot of extra warmth when it’s raging outside, for example.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is a bivvy bag?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A bivvy bag (bivouac bag\/ windsack) is a large bag that can hold one or more people, preferably made from a thin, light synthetic material to make it very packable and light. The bag\u2019s windproof and water-repellent.<\/p>\r\n

If you’re bying one, think about getting one as simple and light as possible. Features such as windows and zips aren\u2019t necessary. The simpler the better.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

First Aid Kit<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cNot a hack\u201d, you say? Well, yes and no. First, you should have a first aid kit, for obvious reasons which don\u2019t need spelling out. Second, many of the things in the first aid kit can used for repairs and ad hoc solutions. Sports tape. Scissors. So it\u2019s worth giving it some a wee bit of attention.<\/p>\r\n

Here\u2019s a list of the essentials in a first aid kit. And some tips on first aid in general. Are you sufficiently prepared if an accident should occur?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Repair Kit<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bringing a repair kit is a good idea even if you\u2019re not on an expedition. It\u2019s all about being prepared for the inevitable and unexpected. The point of the kit is to be able to make temporary, improvised repairs and solutions just to get you home. We\u2019re not talking long-term and permanent repairs you\u2019ll need a bench and tools for. Just some awesome bits and bobs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Stormsure Glue<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We have yet to find any glue more versatile than Stormsure<\/span><\/a>\u00a0glue. It hardens even in water, becomes super strong, it\u2019s elastic, and 100% airtight if you use it right. With this glue you can fix the soles of your boots, glue wetsuits, patch tents, patch sleeping mats and so much more. It\u2019s the best.<\/p>\r\n

The beauty of this glue is that it can also withstand extreme cold and heat without freezing. Excellent characteristics for a field-repair glue. The only downside is that it needs a bit of curing time \u2013 but we can live with that as long as it actually works!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Pulk-Bungee<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The bungee from\u00a0<\/a>Biltema<\/a><\/span>: cheap and very practical. When you need to pack a pulk, strap something to the rucksack, to the car or just fix something like a pulk\u2019s harness, these are absolutely brilliant. They\u2019re strong, elastic and work for a lot of obscure things. If you\u2019re on tour with a pulk, these are an absolute must! Also work as a rope in an emergency. We\u2019ll stop here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
