Well, here's the list of things I'll need for Katimavik:
Clothing for physical work and casual wear (mandatory)
§ Undergarments (enough for one week)
§ Long underwear
§ Socks (enough for one week, plus three pairs of warm socks for winter)
§ Pants, jeans, t-shirts (casual wear)
§ Pyjamas
§ Warm winter coat and snow pants (overalls)
§ Warm hat (tuque) and scarf
§ Good quality mittens (leather and fur) – NOT GLOVES
§ Waterproof jacket (rain boots aren’t necessary)
Clothing for community work and social activities (mandatory)
§ Dress pants/skirts, dress shirts (enough for 1 week)
Clothing for sports (mandatory)
§ Bathing suit
§ Windbreaker jacket
§ Comfortable clothes
Footwear (mandatory)

Bedding (mandatory)
§ Sleeping bag (appropriate for - 5° to 0° Celsius)
§ A set of sheets for a single bed
Toiletries (mandatory)
§ Brush, comb, toothbrush, bath towel, etc.

And here are my baggage limitations:

Limit of one checked baggage
each piece must weigh under 23 kg (50 lbs) and have a total
dimension (length + width + height) of less than 155 cm (62 in).

Carry-on luggage
One small piece of carry-on luggage is also allowed provided it weighs
less than 10 kg (22 lbs) and does not exceed the following dimensions:
23 cm + 40 cm + 55 cm (9 in + 15.5 in + 21.5 in).

What was this whole "cost is not an issue" thing they promised me?! Certainly seems like cost is an issue!

Alright, that's it. I know this is terribly short, but at least I did manage two updates!

  1. It's a trick qualifier. Cost is not an issue if you own everything that's on the list (if it makes you feel any better, I don't own everything on that list).
