Answer #1

Of course there are many different arrangements but the best one is:

1 pair of pants (2 kg)
2 shirts (3 kg)

Obviously you need at least one change of clothes because the weather up north is cold and the clothes you are wearing will need to be washed or mended at some point.
 

food (15 kg)

As already mentioned, each person entering the Yukon is required to bring enough food to last at least one year. Your parents will also be carrying food but it is a good idea for you to share some of the responsibility.
 

winter clothes (10 kg)

Severe winter weather lasts almost half the year and many people who did not make it to the gold rush froze to death because they were unprepared for the winter.
