Norway. Learning the basics of polar travel and getting into the details of fixing things in a safe environment.

Greenland. Crossing the ice cap West to East. Calibrating and finetuning her fitness, gear, and nutrition plans.

Switzerland. Pulling tyres, making a fool of herself. Strength, endurance, and character building.

Contents. Freeze-dried meals, nuts, dried fruits, cheese, chocolate and energy bars. High calory-density is a priority.

Quantities. Packing 66 kg of food, totaling 315000 kcal into 66 day-rations. Under normal circumstances, this would suffice for 5 ½ months.

Reserves. Gaining excess fat prior to the start. It serves as a buffer for the calorie deficit, with the side benefit of insulating the body.

Functional. Because it just needs to work. Without compromise.

Lightweight. Because every gram adds up. Think far beyond cutting off the toothbrush.

Safe. Because it is mission critical. Without a stove to melt water, you can only get that far.
