Winter tools…

When it comes to winter tours you need to have some tools and equipment you will need, so here I will present some tools I can recommend to bring with you at your tours…Always bring a extra sleeping matt with you. With this outside your backpack you can rest and have a insulated layer between you and the ground cold. You also have a extra layer to sleep on, and it he inflatable one break you have a reserve. Also bring a whistle, this is good if you need attention etc. A snow saw is always good to bring on the winter tour. With this you can build a shelter fast and easy, and it will also help you to dig a block for checking the layers related to avalanche risk etc. Snow sticks for the tent is another detail that can be really good to have. This for anchoring the tent if the wind will be strong, and be carful if you use the ski for anchoring, the steel edge can break the string. Bring a bit of round steel, this can be good for repair of a snow shoe – stick or a sledge…And due to the environmental changing and due to the fact that the winter trails normally passes lakes, moors etc. I think I will bring a shortened ice peak for checking the ice when needed. I also always bring a probe for checking the deep of the snow if needed due to building snow shelter or for avalanche work of course…
