[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 645508, member: 3775"] That is the only place I regret not going to, 1.25 years is long enough for any Man, even more so when you add on the 24 hours of darkness for months on end, Youz a Brave Man "BW" thats for sure. respect. 👍 When I was up in Scotland it was cold on the skin but my Parka was bullet proof where I didn't even notice the wind chill, Bare hands was painfull, On the first day there was 6 or 8ft of Snow and a few hours later the wind had Relocated it a few miles away, and with 80+mph winds ( 130kph ) had me walking like a drunk, 5 to 10 seconds is all it took to make ya skin burn/Sting, People go up there in summer clothes or Trekking Gear and then wonder why they come undone, even in such conditions you can still have a great time if you got the right gear, Even in the Snowy Mountains etc it can still hit -20 throw in a bit of windchill and a person could be in trouble, But Arctic clothing is not something you see a lot of in Aus, [/QUOTE]
