    Alternative translation of the clue (to try and justify Myrull)

    The name of today's product is a type of [STRIKE]wool[/STRIKE] cloth that grows in bogs and wetlands all over Norway. It grows in tufts and is a member of the sedge family. The [STRIKE]wool[/STRIKE] cloth we are looking for has provided the name for a product you use [STRIKE]on your legs[/STRIKE] while walking (as opposed to skiing/climbing), which is hidden behind door no. 21.

    If it was written more like this I would have fewer reservations about 1912 Myrull Lady Coat

    The pilgrim path Romboleden went from Sweden to Trondheim in Norway, via the municipality that provided the name for today's present. Around 3,000 Caroleans died here during the winter of 1718/1719, in what is known as one of the biggest tragedies of war in the Nordic countries.

    Sources for Info are HERE and HERE

    I think the answer to this is Tydal Hip Pack

    (there are several sizes see HERE)

    Yes, it would seem Torvull is another name for (or a slightly different form of) the plant:

    hxxp://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torvull

    Or in English:
    hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eriophorum_vaginatum

    (Replace hxxp with http, I can't post links yet)

    With a map and a ....... you will get far in this task. This time we are looking for the English word, and if you find the answer you can take this with you the next time you go hiking. What is the product behind door no. 23

    I reckon THIS is todays answer - COMPASS BAG

    The product hidden behind door no. 24 shares its name with the sharp irregular grooves or ridges formed on a snow surface by wind erosion and deposition. This type of snow can reach a height of approximately 30 cm and can be found on mountains and in polar areas. The polar explorers in Team Bergans have traversed this type of snow several times on their expeditions.
