PERSONAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE EXPEDITION
As there is limited room for personal belongings in the expedition cars and “Finval” trimaran – you are kindly requested to give serious consideration to the amount of the personal equipment and not to take unnecessary things!
Standard volume and weight of the personal equipment for a participant should not exceed one backpack or one bag of 120 litres capacity and 20-28 kg weight depending on duration and complexity of the expedition. Besides that, various experts and professional photographers are allowed to have additional devices and equipment that are discussed separately with the expedition organizers.
