I’ve finally booked my ticket to go to Whitehorse. I’ll be there tomorrow. I just spent the last hour or so trying to get rid of all the stuff I don’t really need and decided to go with my small bag (as I can leave the big one here). The thing is, once I put my sleeping bag in my backpack, I hardly have any space left. Just enough to fit my camera (fitted with my smallest lens, 50mm, no extra lenses, batteries or even camera bag), my 3L water bag, my newly bought Swedish axe (which will go out of the bag as soon as I arrive in Whitehorse), survival blanket, toothpaste and toothbrush. I also have my swiss knife, a lighter and a headlamp in my jacket. No laptop. No extra cloth. No towel. No cooking pot. No thermos. No sleeping mat. No books. It will be nice to travel light for once.

I just checked the temperatures in Whitehorse and I should be fine, it’s not as cold as I thought it would be, so no extra cloth either, just what I wear on me. I have no space even if I wanted to take some extra cloth anyway. As long as it stays cold enough and it doesn’t rain, it’ll be fine. Dry cold and snow, I love.

I’m not sure how wired Whitehorse is or if I’ll even stay around town, so the next update might only be from Vancouver when I get back, in a week. The plan is to head for the information office, get a map, talk with the locals and explore.
