Everything is packed, and I'll catch the first train to the airport at 04:25. After much consideration about how to store the insulin in temperatures down to minus -25 degrees Celsius, the solution has become a specially tailored bag with insulation and room for 5 pens. 3 fast-acting and 2 long-acting. This assumes that I'll have it on me all day and in the sleeping bag at night. There's also space for a few extra needles.
I had expected that I could fit everything into one large bag and a smaller backpack, but I had to bring an additional bag where the down sleeping bag and expedition down jacket fill the entire bag. Weight won't be the issue as it weighs less than 5 kilograms.
