Logistics and Safety
The safety and logistics of these trips have been carefully studied and optimized from preceding expeditions.
Todays snow machines are more reliable and more adapted to greater performance. They also burn cleaner. The equipment also has progressed to be lighter and more durable. The many expeditions that we have taken throughout the north have taught us a good rule of safety and a maximum of comfort. It is winthin these great boundaries of experience that we want you to enjoy these trips. We will be equipped with GPS and satellite phones etc.
The Cold
The cold will be there to meet us. Let it be known that once you are properly equipped the cold is very tolerable. It is not comparable to the moist cold of Europe. You will appreciate a nice –43c without a problem if you are dressed properly. Being an athlete is unnecesary. A little bit of good will and enthusiasm will easily make up for it. A good general state of health particularly spine, knees and others are importatnt.
The best way to enjoy these trips is to take your time without pressure. These expeditions are one step at a time in a daily fashion. The success of these expeditions is to travel moment to moment, one day at a time dealing with whatever comes. This immediacy of present tense is called living on Yukon time. THERE IS MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE HEART OF THE WINTER IN THE GREAT, WHITE NORTH..
