This is the gear I used when setting a new speed record of Vita Bandet 2024. 1300km thru-ski in 27 days. 50km/day average, with a maximum of 70km. I slept 6 nights out in my tent, and the rest inside mountains huts/hotels. The temperatures varied between +10°C and -35°C. Maximum 17kg in the morning with 3L hot water packed for the day. Food restock was possibly every 4 days or less.
