Pulk building
And during the night ...
This is the tent I will use. Chris is the wonderful maker of this LAVVU, the Sami tent. Chris is a Sami descendant living in Minnesota. Organic cotton made.

Wooden skis
Tom Greenall and the Idris Skis, wooden skis can do! And better.
Tom is a great skier also. I feel safe with his skis.
Pulk's lightness / In construction
The model of the Pulk for Man on the Snow, Vilafranca Bonany, Mallorca. The base is on the making.
By Sebastià Vidal.
We are using only wood, recycled wood, Entropy Resins derived by Pine trees, hemp mat and old recycled fisherman's nets. No, I forget also an old piece of PVC tube found in the garden nearby for the mast step (and wheel steerage, if no snow).

Arriving to Oslo...
If the ice condition will be good I will try and sail from Copenhagen to Oslo, via Goteborg, with a sailing boat, possibly a replica of a Viking boat. I tryed to contact the Viking Museet in Roskilde but they didn't answer me. Unfortunately the museum was flooded and I think they are quite busy. Let's see.
