    There is really no limit. There are clothes that will protect you, and masks that warm up your breath. Here in Norway we love the snow and winter, and look forward to it, as we look forward to every...

    If you check your bottles regularly the possibility is very remote for anything to happen. I don't get you here. Sorry.

    When it comes to fuel, you just bring enough. We go through the winter time...

    I have not read through the whole thread, but this how I deal with it.

    In the winter I have a white gas fire stove inside the tent (do it at your own risk). It dries out most stuff. Not...

    No (he just said that you broke that one up). Two cups takes about 1/2 of an Esbit.

    That it takes "forever" to boil up water with Esbit is not true. Two cups takes about six minutes. Do you want...

    What you first off all need (my assumption), is winter hiking training. I would never dream about going into a forum and say "Hey, I got some water bottles and an umbrella, what other equipment do I...

    The truth of the matter is that different food and training have different effect on different people. But here are some pointers:
    - What you drink is very important. Go all water, maybe with the...

    One drop of dish washer soap and a small piece of scrub pad fix the residue easily.
    It is not hard to light. Take your tip of the knife and turn it around a few times, and it will light easily....

    When the air is cold, it is very dry. Therefor I just stuff it in the backpack. The only problem is the used newspaper soles. They need to be separated from the newspaper. I use a simple zip bag for...

    New york time is a larger format, right? I think it is important not to get it to thick or to thin. Do some experimentation.

    Ok, here is a trick that I’ve used here in Norway many times, although not for hiking. In this country we ski in the wintertime, and almost never walk on snow for long distances. I have also just...

    Yes, the diversity is unprecedented. But I still feel that you just have a different approach when it comes to what a national park should offer for to the public, than what other nations parks...

    What makes it the best in the world? I.e. it doesn't have the hut system. Does it not matter?

    You get used to it. You just have to bring a few emergency items. You have to bring some wool mid-layers anyway. You will have kind of solitude anyway. You will meet other people, but very few trails...

    The point is having a lighter pack and the convenience of sleeping in a bed. There is food at the huts, so there is really not any real need to carry much food.

    Prices are. If you are a member...

    Well, the airfare it self should be about the same. But the cost of hotel and food is a different matter. It is very different from country to country. For me as a Norwegian it is an before and after...

    Ok, then there is a difference. In the article it says that they visit iconic places and some do some climbing and kayaking. Most of them therefor drive pretty far, because most of the iconic places...
