THE GEAR NEEDS TO LAST UNTIL THE POLE
In polar exploration good equipment is essential. Gear needs to be practical, durable and lightweight. We will only choose the highest quality equipment. We can't take anything unnecessary with us and we have to calculate every gram. The sleds will weigh over 100 kilos each, including food and fuel. There might still be some changes in this preliminary equipment list.
