Northern Living Check List

Have you ever been to Canada? How about British Columbia? How about ‘Northern BC’ (anywhere north of Vancouver). Well I live in Smithers. It is somewhere close to the geographical centre of the Province of B.C. but is always referred to as the North. Here is a list of living essentials in case you choose to head up to this region.

• At least one woolly toque, preferably with earflaps (if you don’t know what that is you are clearly not Canadian and should consider doing some research before crossing the border)
• Thermal underwear (merino wool and poly propylene are recommended)
• A fleece jacket
• A BIG woolly sweater
• Fleece pants
• A stretchy skirt to fit over the fleece pants
• A long and colourful scarf
• Cozy mittens
• A layer of gortex to cover all of the above
• And a BIG bottle of Whiskey
