I had to google it, never heard of it before. Sounds interesting I'm pretty sure I can get the necessary equipment locally. I take strolls pretty regularly, but it's been getting boring seeing the same corners. I can walk around almost the entire town minus the plateau area in 30-45 minutes.
Will look into it for sure. But I wouldn't venture too far off, I heard of a few horror stories of people getting lost in the tundra.
