Sufficiency of the supplies:

Food sufficed well as it was planned for seven days trip. One 200 g package of crispbread and about quarter of butter cheese and liver paste was left in the end of the trip. Also porridge flakes for one day was lef. Raisins and plums I ate up. I used almost all kitchen- and WC-paper I had.  Most of it was used to clean dishes because in those conditions washing dishes with water was often too difficult.

Cange clothes were almost needless because we didn't get very wet and there were no possibility for washing (there is no saunas in Käsivarsi area). It was always possible to dry clothes in wilderness huts. Pause clothes were useful at huts. On those big fjells snow is always so hard that one can manage well with normal "touring" skis which are 52 mm broad. Ski boots dried slowly which is bad thing. Jogging shoes were good to use in huts. Ski suite is ok but trousers should have suspenders!
