Moving. All day long, at a slow but steady pace, covering approximately 24 km a day.

Stopping. At fixed intervals for a few minutes to eat, drink and change layers as necessary.

Navigating. With a traditional compass, complemented by a GPS, and natural features like sun, wind or clouds.

Daily. Via phone. To report my position and make any potential issues known.

Frequently. Via text messages. To discuss details like weather, expedition progress, or fuel status.

Whenever. Via text messages and one phone call. To provide updates so people could follow my journey, and to keep a minimum social connection.

Body. With plenty of calories and sleep. It’s the prerequisites for a good day of skiing.

Brain. With sleep and some music. It relieves the stress.

Electronics. With a power bank and solar panel. Simple and effective. Unless there is a white-out (again).
