    Simon,

    AFAIR there are seasons like here for varying species and you need a licence and permissions:

    Not sure how ive never seen this thread but a great write up.

    guys, did you do anything special with your bergens for the flight like wrapping or such? And also, did you leave the posh knives at home or are they ok in your bergen?
    Cheers

    I used a cheap waterproof rucksack liner on my bergen mate.

    Tightened up all the straps and just left one grap handle out.

    My advise would be for cooking hit it with a honey stove or something similar.

    I took a pocket rocket and it was useless.

    Meths is pretty expensive over there as well.

    I think it's called rod spirit from memory.

    Cheers mate.

    Ive been thinking about stoves and will probably go with a ti woodburner of some sort. maybe the element 2.2. Im doing Estonia in March but expect similar conditions. Although they have lots of broad leaf forest, ill be sticking to the pine forests in the hope its less boggy.
    Cheers
