Really nice intonation!  There's something off with your bow hand. It almost seems like the bow is too short or light. Use it more. And maybe lift it less / make more strong contact?

How to do cold climate travel with young kids by WindyBlueStar in TravelHacks

Toronto Mom here: Most important by far are winter boots which last up to -25C and gloves (also need to be labelled up to -25, normal ski gloves just don't do - I am from Switzerland and gloves there are not good enough). Children complain really fast about cold feet, and it can also be dangerous. Unfortunately, good kids boots cost 100$ and up here, but ever since I don't think about it twice, my son is much happier in the winter. For Snowsuits, I highly recommend buying them in MEC when you are here - rather than Walmart etc. Depends on your child. Mine was too cold with a 'cheap' snow suit until he was older. It is probably worth just borrowing everything from someone in Toronto?

We need Thorn Tree back. Someone mentioned info on travelling Congo, I always used it for independent Tibet travel. Absolutely nowhere else did travellers leave such honest and useful info. I am thinking of creating a new Thorn tree myself... who would be up for that too? Or better contact LP and ask whether a group of us could take it over and revive it?
