Has been a good October month even a lot of bad weather. Have had visitors from England and I have been out kayaking or canoeing with my Ally. Or up in the mountains. It has been lots of snow, and it has been lots of rain and windy. However have got some very good moments…
The Ally canoe is made for use, all year around. Both on water and snow, or carried in a backpack. It can take rivers up to grade three…for me. Some experts certainly takes more. 100-150 kg load is not a problem. Have been paddling lots of different rivers in Norway, and have been used on…

For the Summer North Pole expedition we were looking for modifications on the Bergans Antarctica suite made in Microfiber. There will always be some few things to optimize and want changes. During summertime on the Arctic Ocean we new…
