An outfitting agency will give you a good idea of what you need and must have. The arctic is not a place to go unprepared. Nor is any wilderness region. I have had experience dealing with wilderness outfitting because I grew up in that setting. Please...Contact an arctic outfitter. Do not skimp on things you need as the tundra is not a forgiving place. Go google "artic outfitters" and talk to several places actually talk to them if you can. You will be amazed at what these people know. I was... Not really all that surprising considering it's their life and keeping you alive to come back and go to the arctic again is in their best interest. NO matter where you go in the wild I suggest you bring a GPS beacon. That is my suggestion as I have seen to many people wander into the woods and get lost for weeks. If you have one it will help people find your location should you become lost. Something like this...http://www.safetyandsecuritycenter.com/emgpspelobe.html
