    Glad you had a nice trip to our neck of the woods! At the same time I kick myself for not bring able to visit you lads once more before you left, but as we all know, real life tends to influence our plans... Great write-up and pics so far. Also have to chime in with Skaukraft, glad you weren't...

    Norway Jan 2013 -Planning and Preparation

    Sitting at the lokal pub and nursing a cold pint, trying not whine too much whenever I lift it. It's been two good days for me, visiting the lads, but I'm sore as .... now. Must have been using muscles I've forgot existed... ;) Way too long since I did some proper skiing. Seems like the gang is...

    Litt det samme her, opprinnelig Finnskoging, men kjerringa er byjente og er redd for skauen ;-)

    Tjukkeste Oslo her, men det er jo uansett ikke langt til skauen med banen e.l. ;)

    Norway Jan 2013 -Planning and Preparation

    Just got back from Sognsvann, and I think you'll be happy about the conditions up there. It's still mild, but seemed dry. Beware of invisible icy patches under the snow. It also gets dark quite early, bring headlamps!

    Looking for a high end backpack with PALS/MOLLE compatibility.

    I was issued that pack for almost ten years, it's not a bad ruck ;-) Also used my privately owned Recon Ranger from time to time, also a good ruck. That being said, I absolute love my new Eberlestock, it's such a comfy pack! :-)

    Looking for a high end backpack with PALS/MOLLE compatibility.

    I like my Eberlestock Destroyer, if you need something bigger, the Battleship should serve you well. It's buildt to last, very well thought out design and extremely comfortable. And I've been spoiled with Noerwegian Bergans and Norrønna packs in my military days...

    What works and what does not work. Medicine

    When I was a smoker, I used to chew some tobacco and used this spittle & tobacco mix on bee-stings, mozzie-itches and nettle-stings. I don't 'carry' anymore, but my S.O. do, so I steal some from her whenever I need. ;-)

    Norway Jan 2013 -Planning and Preparation

    Temperatures has been dropping the last couple of days, but it's still very icy. If we could get some snow now, it would be very nice. I haven't been out in Nordmarka lately, but I live in Oslo. It should be even nicer (colder) out there. I mentioned this in my introduction thread, but I'll...

    New norwegian here.

    Been lurking a little bit and decided to register, so here I am. Ex-mil, living in Oslo, got family and dogs. Was a boy scout once upon a time. Now I'm old(er) and it feels good to be in the green stuff and not worrying about being seen nor heard anymore (must admit, old habits are sometimes...
