We have also had a couple threads of educational-resource recommendations. These are marginally more serious, since they're about gathering actually good explanations of things that sneerable people like to pontificate ignorantly on. But I'll list them here because learning is fun:

Thats the store. I suspect the hardening is for bears - they are a very serious hazard up there. When I was doing my work placement at a uranium mill (about like 600km north of where I was today) I was told of repeat incidents were bears breached the dormitories. In at least one case they had to construct barricades out of sofas.

I don’t understand why this is a question. Why would you not elaborate?
I have a weird urge to do those sorts of road trips, probably because I’ve seen a lot of video that only shows the most interesting bits and it’s not something I can easily do here… the northernmost roads of the uk are decidedly not very remote, and tend to be choked with campervans.
