Sufficiency of the supplies:

Choice of equipment and dimensioning of food succeeded very well. We had enoug but not too much food for the trip. I had also right amount changing and spare clothes. Map-case turned out to be very useful. It is easy to read map when the map is in a case. We used very little the fuel of the camping cooker because we usually made our meals with stoves and gas stoves of the wilderness huts. Thermos bottle was useful too. We had tent with us for safety's sake but we didn't have to use it.
