If You Were Going to the Arctic Circle, What Would You Pack?
What would you pack if you were going up North, way North like 200 klicks passed Yellowknife North. Like so far North only chartered planes will get you there. Warm socks and long undies is a given, anything else?

a very big anti-polar bear belted magnum .375 H&H or bigger caliber! with one bwana behind you to back you up and a .454 casull or bigger handgun! no different from sharks.............can smell minute amount of blood or food in air. ask any caribou hunter. last thing you want to do is be out at night with downed animal trying to recover. always have bwana with rifle, one in pipe safety on, AT ALL TIMES! have had many friends w/float planes do this and there is no room for error should mr bear make his appearance.

The most important thing this time of year is bug spray and mosquito repellant. These are vicious up there. Go to your local travel shop and get the stuff that is formulated for not only mosquitos - but black flies, horse flies etc etc. And get lots of it.
Trust me on this one.

The scouts have a "ten essentials" list for outdoor activities. I've read that other organizations (e.g., Backpacker magazine)endorse the list too for short-term wilderness survival. Here's the list:
Pocket knife First Aid kit Extra clothing Rain gear Canteen or water bottle Flashlight Trail food Matches and fire starter Sun protection Map and compass Besides this stuff, you might want to get a radio capable of communicating on 5167.5 kHz, the State of Alaska emergency HF channel. Canadians might monitor that frequency too. +1 on the tribe of Inuit and the really big gun.

Related and sort of interesting -
My physicist friend spent 3 weeks at the US research station at the South Pole, last year. He brought essentially nothing besides toiletries, camera, and regular city clothes. On the way to the station, you go through a depot where you are issued Arctic clothing. Special boots, parkas, gloves, etc. They will not allow you to use your own outerwear. My friend spent his time there working on the physical install and software for his scientific experiment, a huge neutrino detector buried a mile deep in the ice. It was way below zero - I want to say -50F but I don't recall if that's the exact temp he mentioned. He said the Arctic clothing was incredibly effective. His biggest concern was his little digital camera. Often the LCDs freeze and crack, but his did fine.
