Hype for the Future 73C: Scotland’s Nordic Heritage

Introduction While Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is not a strictly Nordic country, centuries of rule by the Norwegians and other historic Nordic groups north of the Teutonic peoples have resulted in special Nordic treatment for the Shetland Islands, the Orkney Islands, and the Counties of Caithness and Sutherland, all from north to south. To the west are the Inner and Outer Hebrides, including notable islands such as the Isles of Skye, Barra, and the Uists, just to name a […]

I've got Nordic blood in me from somewhere. Or maybe it's that year of 3rd grade we lived in upper Minnesota, or just growing up in the Midwest?

I don't like sweating. But I don't mind working in the cold at all.

AFAIK, I'm English/Scottish (immigrants to the USA in the 1600s) and German (Hannover/Wesphalia immigrants in the 1860s). Nonetheless, I have some Nordic blood from somewhere, I think?

I am in need of a little advice from either #Scandinavian Users and/or #Photographers.

I'm off with my Wife to Tromsø at the end of the month for a week. I want to take my digital SLR with me (Canon EOS 500D.. a bit long in the tooth but it does me)

Two questions. I have neither a fancy heated lens nor massive battery pack (I do have a few spare batteries though)

If I'm going to be out in sub zero temperatures (hopefully photographing some Aurora!!) how can I stop (a) my lens freezing over and (b) the cold draining my batteries too quickly?

is this even going to be an issue? I have seen USB powered "Dew heaters"?? but they too need to be powered by a battery pack. I'm puzzled if they'd even be any use.

Please boost for reach.

All info greatly appreciated.

Read into it what you want.

Personally, I doubt Trump likes lutefisk or pickled herring.

This is most likely just another outlandish comment intended to keep the American public off-balance.
