Hi Guys
Last year i went to Kittila Finland, with a few guys from the forum. I cold camped, while the other guys used hot tents. I enjoyed the cold camping but obviously found it difficult to keep sensitive gear warm enough that it was still usable. For example i took a cheapy compact (£80 or so) and it got so cold that there were some tortured sounds that didn't sound conducive to its operation.
Fast forward to Feb of next year and we are going to be going again to sub zero temps, I have since my last trip gotten into photography, and invested in a decent camera (£1000 or so with a couple of lenses) and obviously cant keep this equipment on my person at all times, so the question is, how to take something like that on a trip similar to the one that i'll be taking and ensure not only decent function whilst there, but also any function when we return.
Your thoughts are gratefully received.
Thanks
Dave
