Your original sentence is not wrong, but I would personally say it this way
He went to Siberia with only shorts and t-shirts.
He is really a sandwich short of a picnic.
First time I heard this idiom, but I am guessing it's trying to say that someone isn't really intelligent.
If so, you could use these two idioms (since they are more well known):
"X is not the sharpest pencil in the cup" or "X is not the sharpest tool in the shed"
