+Some thoughts about how and why I prepared that way for hiking the kungsleden. 
+
+## Preface
+
+It's important to know the following circumstances that somewhat informed my gear choices:
+
+### Goals:
+
+1. Get back home safely.
+2. Hike the northern Kungsleden.
+3. Hike the Kungsleden as far as possible.
+4. Have a good time along the way.
+5. Get back home on time.
+6. Stay budget friendly.
+7. Loose a few kgs of weight along the way.
+
+### Experience and other personal factors l:
+
+* I have hiked medium to long distances before.
+* That however is almost 10 years ago.
+*  I'm not exactly in great physical shape ATM.
+* Its my first time hiking a "remote" trail. I am not used to resupply needing actual forethought.

+
+My travel to Abisko to start the hike had multiple stages.
+
+## Getting to the Plane
+
+I took the train at 4:30 am from Saalfeld to Naumburg where I switched from the regional train to the ICE in Berlin where I then had to go to the BER.
+
+The first regional train started out fairly empty and was overall a pretty enjoyable ride, something I cannot say about the train to Berlin. It was filled with people desperately trying to get some sleep and while I found a place to sit the smell was quite horrible as the one closest to seemed to have come from heavy partying.
+After arriving in Berlin Hauptbahnhof I took the S-Bahn to the airport ( quick note here - you'd think that there would be some political pressure to have a fast connection between the central station and the "shiny new" airport but the only trains going there were flux trains and the dedicated S Bahn Line took almost 50 minutes to arrive ).
+
+## The big plane kerfuffle
+
+When arriving in Berlin Hauptbahnhof I got a quick but horrifying message:
+
+> Unfortunately your plane has been cancelled. We will try to find an alternative for you.
+
+That message was a truly big issue for me as I had a non rebook able(anymore) night train to catch in Stockholm.
+
+So I was sitting on the S Bahn, being really stressed out and worried and texted around with my parents and friends regarding the cancellation. Thankfully shortly before finally arriving at the airport I got the message that I had been rebooked to a replacement flight and would now still get to Stockholm. What saved me there s that I usually plan for incredibly long transfer times and had planned almost 5 hours of wait in Stockholm that I would have used to take a train into Stockholm and explore a bit.
+
+So I arrived at the BER and checked my luggage in, after which I went through security (went almost without any issues I just had to explain that the vacuum sealed bags of nondescript white powder in my luggage are just oats with powdered milk and protein powder - I think the visible chocolate chunks convinced then) and got some food while waiting the few hours I had to wait for my first plane.
+
+BTW for how absurdly long it took to build BER it really isn't anything to write home about it and outside of general mediocre design for the general population going through it there was a lot of exposed paneling and wires everywhere.
+
+### BER -> CPH
+
+The plane was a old and small CRJ - 900. The ceiling height was tiny and I was unable to stand fully upright. I was seated right next to the engine but I got a window seat and the view of north eastern Germany was relatively pretty. We left Germany flying over the eastern part of the Darß and then over the Baltic towards CPH. On the approach we got some really nice views of the offshore Windparks and Malmö.
+
+The flight was relatively calm and relaxed outside of some slight turbulence during the final landing approach.
+
+# Images here
+
+### CPH -> ARN
+
+After hastily marching through the airport(we had very little transfer time and the gate was at the other side of the airport) I got on the connecting plane ( a nice Airbus A320) which took me to Stockholm.
+
+The flight was nice, with a complimentary coffee and we landed after some very slight turbulence in Stockholm. I once again had a window seat so I got some nice views of southern Sweden from above.
+
+# images here
+
+## The train ride
+
+After arriving in Stockholm I boarded the night train towards Abisko. The trains are fairly old and cramped but I had nice company for the evening and got a good night's sleep. The total ride time was a bit over 16 hours.
+
+I had the company of a bird watcher from Stockholm traveling to Abisko to find an Arctic Warbler and a teacher from Norway who works as a hut keeper at one of the stations along the kungsleden.
+
+# more images
+
+## Overall
+
+Despite the somewhat stressful episode with the cancelled plane and having to get up extremely early I have very little to complain about my travel here.

+Leaving the night train pretty well rested and ready for the day I arrived at Abisko Touriststation. First order of business was to buy some propane gas can and then visit the restaurant for one last meal in civilization. The lunch menu was a buffet with the main item being reindeer stroganoff. It was delicious and the view from the restaurant towards lake Torneträsk was spectacular.
+
+After the restaurant visit some icy wind was blowing (with the thermometer reading 8.2 °C) and I noticed the every part of me was well protected except for my hands. So I went back into the shop and bought a pair of somewhat expensive woolen glove liners ( this investment paid of massively).
+
+Afterwards I grabbed my heavy(almost 20kg at this point) pack and headed off into the Abisko National Park.

+It was slightly past noon when I started my travel, the sun was out and the cold wind stopped blowing.
+
+The first sight that greetes you when entering the Abisko National Park is most likely the aptly named river Abiskojokk. Having had the fortune of visiting pretty much when the river was at its peak I got treated to the view of a roaring river crashing through steep rocks and cliffs along the way to its destination in the lake. After following the river for a few bends the path dipped down to a shallow spot where I was able to grab my filter and fill my water reserves from the river water.
+
+The next thing I stumbled upon was what would be another constant companion during my time in the National Park:
+
+Reindeer shit.
+
+Reindeer droppings are quite easily desceirned by their characteristic appearance:  
+They are uniformely egg shaped with each bit around the size of a duck egg. They have a very smooth almost shiny outside and on the inside are filled with dry fiber(how do I know that? Simple - a lot of people who came before me have stepped in it).
+
+I hover never saw reindeer in my time in the Abisko National Park.
+
+## The camping ground and my hubris
+
+After some 4-5 Kilometer and right past a hanging bridge I arrived at a small campground with everything from direct access to the water of the Abiskojokk fireplaces and even toilets.
+
+It is important to note that the Abisko National Park is one of the few places in Sweden where you cant put up your rent wherever you want.
+
+Considering this and the fact that it was already slightly past 4 pm ~~I made the same choice and put up my tent like the hut keeper that I traveled with on the night train had recommended for taking the first day easy~~ I looked at the map, decided 9 more kilometers doesn't look too bad and kept walking onwards. One thing I gained from the campsite was a nice big backup can of cooking gas that someone left behind and that was still decently filled.

+
+## A lesson paid in blood
+
+![Spider Bro putting in wok](image_29.jpg)
+
+After leaving the campsite I soon began to regret my choice of not putting up camp when the weight of my pack began to take its toll and the trail got wetter and rougher.
+
+Shortly before getting into view of lake Àbeskojàrvi I encountered what would become my worst enemy for the remainder of my stay in the Abisko National Park:
+
+An utterly absurd amount of mosquitoes. Not only did they swarm about in absurd numbers they were also incredibly aggressive in their attack patterns. A quick taxonomy:
+
+- the brake assassin - a dastardly enemy of any weary hiker the break assassin will dive in whenever you stop moving for more than 10 seconds. Not only will you quickly find yourself the target of many mosquitoes ( the break assassin is quite common), those mosquitoes will also try to go for a bite as quickly as possible and even pierce thin clothing. The only methods to combat the break assassin are lightning fast reflexes or pushing onwards.
+- the diveby sniper - while fairly rare the drive-by sniper will attack you even while you are on the move and home in on any bit of exposed flesh. Recommendation for combat: know what you are exposing and keep a look out for the bastards, they take some time to go for the sting and can easily be flattened by an attentive defender.
+- the swarmer - while the least threatening, they rarely ever get to sting, these are some of the most annoying blood suckers as they have no issue flying right up into your face. The best defense is a head net
+
+## Arriving at Abiskojaure
+
+Slightly after 11 pm I arrived utterly exhausted at Abiskojaure. The sun had already dipped beneath the surrounding mountains and their snow covered peaks
+Despite that it was still fully bright outside. The only things I did after putting up my tent was filling up my water sacks from the lake and cooking up some mashed potatoes, that I didn't even fully eat until the morning. Thankfully arriving that late allowed me to dodge the usual fee for camping at an STF Hut.
+
+I slept pretty badly both due to the light(I had lost my sleep mask aboard the night train) and that sometime early in the morning ( at around one am) a freezing wind picked up that dropped the temperature in my tent to 5 degrees Celsius.

+## Heading out
+
+After getting woken up relatively late by a helicopter landing I broke down my camp and left Abiskojaure ~~early in the morning~~ in the early hours of noonafter taking a quick number 2 in the local toilet.
+
+## Southward through the National Park

+  
+{{< /gallery >}}
+
+I continued southwards to the border of the National Park following a noticeably more difficult path through the characteristic birch forests of the Abisko National Park. The path at this point consisted mostly of rocks and wound it's way up and down various small hills.
+
+## Losing my shit
+
+Having left the birch forests of the Park I took a break where I noticed to my shock my trowel for digging cat holes missing which was very much not a great start for only day 2 of the trip.
+
+## Camping ground
+
+Having left Abisko National Park I came across a nice campground next to a hanging bridge that was inviting me to stay and have a chill day after only clocking a bit over 4 kilometers.
+
+## Pushing on
+
+Once again I decided to move on(you'd think I learn from my mistakes but apparently I'm the kind of child to touch a hot stove plate again even though the blister on that very hand and still hurting). Following a steep ascend I refilled my water from what can best be described as a small puddle and I struggled up the mountain into the valley.
+
+## The white menace
+
+![Snow](image_3.jpg)
+It was here where I first encountered the hereto by far biggest issue and challenge of the trek. Patches of old snow in the process of melting down.
+
+No step on these is ever safe as they constantly shift in density while water from the melting snow carves out cavities inside the snow. Every step was a risk of having a deep break in into the snowfield and having to either struggle my way out or face the possibility of having to call for help if not able to free my self.
+
+The issue even got exacerbated by the fact that both my pack and especially myself are quite heavy even compared to the average hiker which multiplyed the risk of breaking in.
+
+Needless to say my speed slowed pretty much to a crawl whenever I was on the snow fields, but I still would sometimes get snow in my boots.
+
+## Rain and camp
+
+After experiencing the misfortune that is old snow fields a few times I started looking for a camp to set up for the night. Unfortunately that was still quite a ways away as all the water from the melting snow fields turned any promising areas into mud.

+Pushing onwards the trail now mostly consisted of either rocks, snow, mud or a combination of the three.
+
+![On the Trail](image_8.jpg "The rocky trail")
+To make a bad situation worse slight rain started to fall along the way with still no suitable camp location in sight. Consulting OSM (many thanks by the way for the incredible community mappers you are true Lifesavers) I saw a camp site just three kilometers out, right next to the trail. Getting some strength from that hopeful expectation I kept going. On the way there (and having almost arrived) I passed a sign that said "only 5 kilometers until the ferry".
+
+![Camp](image_9.jpg "Setting up camp for the night")
+Finally arriving at the camping spot I found it slightly damp being situated between 2 big fields of snow but overall serviceable. Considering that the rain was now picking up I made the decision to put up tent and after a quick warm meal I put on my warm set of clothes and went to sleep, only waking a few times due to the uncomfortable ground and the icy wind.

+
+## Breaking camp
+
+After waking up I felt quite done with the world and don't even eat breakfast just a quick morning routine that involved regretting that I lost my trowel and then I started breaking down camp,which still took almost an hour in total.
+
+## Heading down to the boat
+
+I decided to take a step back this day and not repeat the mistake of the previous days.
+
+So I was gonna take the boat to the STF Hut and then pay for a night inside the hut to get my spirit back and fully dry all my gear.
+
+Struggling onwards to the boat through the mud and the snow fields I finally a arrived at the small landing only to find that the flag you were supposed to raise was nowhere to be found. So I did the logical thing and used the bright orange packsack of my socks as a makeshift flag. Then I got into the nearby waiting areas to take some (if inadequate) cover from the wind from the wind and wait for the
+ferry. After all I arrived shortly after 12 and the ferry wasn't due until 1530.

+
+## No boat for you!
+
+Having waited a bit for the ferry a nice fellow hiker stopped by to ask me whether I was waiting for the ferry. After I affirmed this he dropped the unfortunate news on me that the ferry only operates between July 1st and August 31st.
+
+Slightly shell shocked by this I decided to eat some oats, change my socks and cook a coffee, which probably saved me as it gave me the energy to tackle the remaining 7km to the Hut.
+
+I left the boat station at 1400

+
+## Surprise river
+
+![River](image_8.jpg "Wet feet are always fun")
+
+After slogging through mud weeds and snow fields along a very rough trek that was heavily strained by all the melting snow I arrived a very unwelcome sight. A brand new river that was on no map and had no crossing build(usually the STF is incredible at building crossing that are at the very least made from planks).
+
+Seeing that there was no way around it I decided to just take the plunge, removed the lower legs of my pants rolled to rest up to mid thigh and waxed through the river assisted by my hiking sticks.
+
+## The calling of the trench foot
+
+Having reached the other side of the river/stream I sat down pulled of my pants and socks, restored my pants back to full length and then assessed the situation.
+
+Aside from my soaked boots (and socks) I had managed to stay dry and nothing else got wet.
+
+So I put on a fresh pair of socks, put on my boots, which of course immediately soaked my socks and kept going onwards, now driven by the desperation that the boots would never fully dry in a tent.
+
+While my boots were now making squishing sounds with every step, this had the benefit of completely stopping me from caring about getting my feet wet from stepping too deeply into snow or marsh.
+
+Driven by a desperate wish for dry feet I marched the remaining 3 km to the Hut.
+
+## Alesjaure
+
+After paying for my stay (500skr) I immediately got out of my boots and set them to dry in front of the oven.
+
+Then I chowed down some canned tuna salad and made a hot tea after which I had some nice conversations with fellow travelers who had suffered from the newly emerged river.
+
+I finished the day with a big portion of lentils and then went to sleep in a warm bed.

+## Morning
+After a somewhat restless night if sleep I got up at 7 had breakfast and prepared to leave the hut in slightly damp boots at 8. It was when getting finally ready that I noticed I had squished a mouse in my boot. It must have snuck in while the boots were drying in front of the fireplace overnight and then kept a still instead of fleeing when I put the sole back in. Resulting in a very squished mouse after my morning run to the toilet. 
+
+So I disassembled my boot again cleaned and disinfected boot, sole, sock and foot and waited for it to dry a bit again before starting towards the next hut.
+
+## Starting out
+I started my descent from Alesjaure quite refreshed and we'll, filled up my water reserves from a stream I came across and started walking.
+
+Relatively soon I arrived at a river crossing and - having learned my lesson from yesterday I took off my boots and
