Below you can read the transcript of the video recorded by Henk-Jan Geel about the expedition materials.

‘in this video I’m going to tell you a little bit about the tent bag.
This is the tent bag.
On arctic expeditions, you often have 3 bags on your sled.
Namely the tent bag, a sled bag and an arctic bidding.
In your arctic bed is your sleeping pad and your sleeping bag, in the sled bag is basically everything you don’t need in the tent, and then that leaves the tent bag, this bag, and in there is everything you need in the tent, think about your dinner, your breakfast and your lunch, think about and a first aid kit, a repair kit, your thermos cup, a thermos bottle, a booklet, a headlamp.
So all kinds of things needed in the tent, they are in this tent bag.
The tent bag is compact with the advantage that all the stuff you need is in one small bag and can be quickly found, but if you go into the tent with the expedition participants and everyone arrives with one of these bags, it stays organized in the tent instead of everyone taking all their luggage inside.
So think about what you need in the tent and put that in the tent bag.
Because this bag that goes with you into the tent.
The modifications I have done is put a small string on the zipper such that you can get the tent bag on with a glove and labeled the tent bag.
In this case, a yellow label corresponding to the yellow color of arctic bedding and to the label on the thermos and thermos cup such that each expedition participant has its own color. So if you are in the tent and this bag is handed to you you see oh yellow and also place it with the yellow arctic bedding so then there remains overview in the tent bags. So a tent bag is super handy during arctic expeditions.’
