    Sleeping Bag Compression Sack

    That is what I do too. I use dry bags, without compression. I load, then squeeze out all the air, then roll and seal. The contents can still remain flexible don't have problems with rigidity or wasted space.

    Walking poles or not

    Nordic skiing uses poles virtually all the time. They are longer poles (longer still for skate skiing). I have also used them regularly for snowshoeing.

    Uncertain Newbie

    I will be starting the CF on the last day of March or first day of April. I have looked at the temps and daylight, but don't see anything on the wind. Does anyone know about a reference on that data, or have personal experience?
