Lofoten Folkehøgskole We are concerned about the environmental impact we have as a school, and all the equipment we buy and use has an associated environmental footprint. Therefore, we encourage you to check whether your family, friends, used stores, Finn.no, Tise, or similar have equipment available for purchase used, before you purchase new equipment. WeIt is also recommended to check the Facebook group «Lofoten Folkehøgskole buy and sell», where former students sell equipment for a reasonable price: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1161135790702595/
Most of the lines are already running on tours in the first few weeks, so most of the equipment should be in place from the start unless otherwise arranged. For year-round skiers, the ski and winter equipment on the line should be ready by October.
Here you will find general equipment lists for the dormitory and everyday life at the school:

Equipment you can borrow from the school for the line tours (common equipment)
Our first trip is right after school starts, so it would be nice if you brought all the equipment from the first day of school (ski and winter gear can wait). But don’t be stingy to get the latest model and this year’s color. Old, solid equipment is often at least as good. When it comes to clothing, it can’t be said too often that this should largely consist of wool. That’s because the clothes are also supposed to insulate and keep warm when they’re wet.

Clothing
*By solid mountain boots we mean boots that reach at least up to the ankle. Mountain boots can be made of leather, or they can be semi-rigid top-trail boots made of plastic. If you are unsure, you can visit the school’s website; under Ski & climbing you will find «Frequently asked questions». There we try to provide a thorough introduction to what we consider to be functional and good equipment.

It is an advantage that the ski equipment is in a lightweight class. You can also buy it after you arrive at the school and get tips before you buy.
Equipment rental:
We have some equipment for rent; a full overview and ordering form will be available after registration. Among other things, we have sleeping bags, sleeping pads, avalanche equipment, backpacks (500,- per school year per piece).

På Friluftsliv, film og foto skal vi være ute i Lofoten gjennom hele året. Dette kreverlitt utstyr for at opplevelsene skal bli gode. Mitt ønske for året er at du skal behøve å investere minst mulig i nytt utstyr for ditt år på Lofoten folkehøgskole. Du trenger ikke å ha det dyreste eller nyeste utstyret for å ha et fint år. Så tenk først om du kjenner noen som har noe du kan låne for et skoleår. Det viktigste er at du har klær og utstyr som gjør at du kan trives ute i all slags vær. Husk at det meste kan kjøpes brukt, og noe utstyr kan leies/lånes på skolen. Du trenger heller ikke å ha alt før skolestart. Er du usikker, ikke nøl med å ta kontakt med meg på yngve@lofotenfolkehogskole.no så svarer jeg så raskt jeg kan.
Vi har noe utstyr til leie, full oversikt og bestillingsskjema kommer etter opptak. Dette er blant annet sovepose, liggeunderlag, skredpakke, sekk (500,- per skoleår per stk).
Vi drar raskt ut på tur etter skolestart så mest mulig av klær og personligturutstyr bør være på plass fra du kommer til skolen.
– Vind- og vanntett jakke og bukse.
– Ullundertøy, gjerne to sett.
– Varm mellomlagsbekledning, for eksempel ull- eller fleece-genser.
– Varm dunjakke eller syntetisk isolasjonsjakke. En syntetisk variant er ofte rimeligere og kan være bedre egnet i vått klima som vi har i Lofoten, men pakker noe større. Dun pakker noe mindre, men er mer utsatt for fuktighet.
– Lue, hals og varme votter.
– Tynne hansker som også kan brukes når du fotograferer.
– Ullsokker, både tynne og tykke.
– Gode fjellsko som tåler vått terreng / Varme vintersko eller turstøvler med plass til tykke ullsokker og en god ullsåle. Disse kan være de samme skoene men er ofte litt motsigende da det er godt med noen fjellsko som sitter godt på men de er ofte da kalde på vinteren.
– Stor tursekk: ca. 65–100 liter, til turer med overnatting. Det viktige her er at den er god å bære med litt vekt i og at du må få plass til alt det utstyret som du har på innsiden av sekken.
– Dagstursekk: ca. 35-45 liter, med plass til ekstra klær, mat, drikke og
kamera.
– Varm sovepose: som helst er også egnet til vinterbruk. Her er det mulig åkombinere to tynnere soveposer f.eks. Lakenpose kan også være kjekt og vil også kunne være med på å øke komforttemperaturen litt. Et godt utgangspunkt er en komforttemperatur på -20 grader. Denne er ulikt merket for kvinner (T-comfort) og menn (T-limit).
– Isolert oppblåsbart liggeunderlag: gjerne egnet til vinterbruk. Et eksempel på gode liggeunderlag Exped Dura 6.5 og Mountain Equipment Aerostat. Gjerne med en R-Verdi på 5 eller høyere (Jo høyere jo varmere). Dette kan også kombineres med et vanlig liggeunderlag av skum/celleplast for å øke verdien. Da kan du legge sammen verdiene på de.
– Sitteunderlag. Et lite til dagstur kan være praktisk. En enkelt variant er mer enn godt nok.
– Hodelykt med ekstra batteri eller mulighet for lading via powerbank: I løpet av skoleåret kommer mørketiden og vi ønsker å kunne være utendørs hele året og da kan det være greit med lys. Et eksempel på en lykt er Petzl Actik core.
– Termos og drikkeflaske: En nalgeneflaske på en liten er kjekk å ha da den kan ha kokende vann i seg for å bruke som varmeflaske i soveposen.
– Matboks, kopp og turbestikk.
– Noen vanntette pakkposer: for å sørge for at ting er tørt når vi kommer frem.
Dette trenger du:
– Datasal med iMacer og relevant programvare. Vi tar utgangspunkt i gratisutgaven til DaVinci Resolve til etterbehandling av film og Affinity for etterbehandling av bilder.
Vi ønsker å basere oss mest mulig på redigeringsprogrammer som du selv kan laste ned gratis slik at du kan bruke tilsvarende programmer når du er ferdig.
Vi kommer til å bruke vinteren til å utforske Lofoten og oppleve friluftsliv i snø og
kulde. Dette trenger du ikke å ha i orden før du kommer. Men gjerne undersøk
om du kjenner noen som har utstyr tilgjengelig.
Aktuelt utstyr:
Har du noe av dette fra før, kan det komme godt med gjennom året, men er ikke noe du skal kjøpe spesielt til skoleåret:
Bruk gjerne det du allerede har, og kjøp brukt når det er mulig. Godt utstyr trenger ikke være nytt, og det dyreste er ikke nødvendigvis det beste. Ta gjerne kontakt med meg før du gjør store innkjøp så skal jeg hjelpe deg så godt som jeg kan for at det skal bli best mulig.

It’s not always necessary to buy new equipment; at Bua, right next to the school, you can borrow most of the outdoor equipment—skiing, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, skates, wetsuits, bikes, and much more. Pål and Markus, who work there, are super friendly and help you find exactly what you need.
