It is great with Christmas, but it complicates the preparations. I have been off training now for ten days and sure, it is due to the flu, but I will loose some power there. But back to the gym tomorrow. The first piece of a gigantic kit list to come, arrived today. To the local Russian store, which is almost our neighbour and where we buy pelmeni as often as we can. I guess you could say it was my one and only Christmas present. Boots from Baffin.
Right now I am working on the medicine kit and it will be something along these lines:
- 1 tin with tiger balsam (R)
- 1 First aid kit
- 1 Nail scissors (R)
- 1 Tweezers
- 10 sun sticks for the nose and sensitive places
- 1 tube Helosan
- Alvedon (R)
- Antibiotics (R)
- Anti-inflammatory medicine (R)
- Antiseptic crèmes and powder (R)
- Antiseptic means (R)
- Blood stoppers (R)
- Diarrhea cure
- Elastic bandages (R)
- Foot powder (R)
- Cannulas (R)
- Surgeon tape
- Knee protection
- Compresses (R)
- Leukastrips (R)
- Leukoplast (R)
- Immodium
- Losec
- Novalucol, 2 pills per day
- Penicillin (R)
- Plasters (R)
- Chafe tape
- Painkillers (R)
- High sunprotection
- Sterile dressings (R)
- Wound cleaners (R)
- Safety pins
- Talcum (R)
- Petrolatum
- Zincsalve
- Eyedrops
- Eyesalve
- Eardrops
Only three weeks to go, we don´t have all visas yet, no camera equipment and most of the Expedition kit is on its way. It is all as usual. Extremely stressful, but fun!
-37 degrees Celsius in Verkhoyansk today and the same in Yakutsk. But 0 in Moscow.
