- The north of Norway has been the training ground of the Royal Marines and their support arms for more than 45 years. But the Arctic doesn't discriminate, and that's why every man on Exercise Clockwork must go through the cold weather survival course.

- 25C? Here in Canada, we look FORWARD to when it WARMS UP to -25 in winter! We were still flying when it was -35C, and finally shut down when it hit -45C. In the field - we were doing Exercises at -40C at CFB Wainwright.
I remember my cold weather training...sleeping with your clothes on or tucked into your mummy bag. Warming water and washing using our helmets . Warming our Quonset huts using oil burning pot stoves. That was no where like this training, our training was on Mauna Loa , Hawaiian volcano. SEMPER Fi....1961-1965
Bardufoss? Ha! I was bivouacked outside of Bardufoss way back in the '80's. Never thought I'd hear that name again..lol
Spent a year in the army in northern norway.. -25 was warm, these guys were lucky
I'm guessing the RAF crews were staying in luxury hotels?
I actually laughed so hard at the first 2 seconds LOOK AT THAT LANDING GEAR!
I live in Colorado for my hole life Respect for anybody that fights or goes to work when is below zero .you really learn what you are made of and how strong your mind is i Cycle rain or snow im crazy like that .
It's pretty fun for a Swede to see this who has been out for weeks in the Norwegian and Swedish mountains in the winter and having survived quite pleasantly. We use skis - its actually requires much less effort and is a lot faster to move compared to walking even in the summer. Skiiing works fine with a backpack 20-25kg..
when the British Military has better arctic kit than the Canadian Army....
Per mar per terrem
Thats the mandatory 5 day survival course. They are not doing the cold weather warfare course which is 4 weeks.
They should train up in Svalbard aswell
Not just the Royal Marines. AMF(L) was a massive organization established to give a one-two punch to anyone who attacvked a NATO country or ally in the 70's to 90's. We all got cold annually!
Thanks for the chuckle.
Is it strange that I do this stuff for fun lol
nice landing gear but needs a polar camo paint job done .
I am not a Russian bot
Norway ... yeah, the Arctic I suppose. They need to train in Northern Canada where it gets REALLY cold, not the temperate Norwegian "Arctic" awash in the Gulf Stream waters.
What is a royal marine ML? Medical something?
It’s 10 times on ice
