What do you take apart from your clothing?

Very little, when we go with LEARNZ we will have to take all our field equipment, which is cameras, digital cameras. The extra things that we are doing there are extra batteries. You see people with fishing vests on, keeping batteries warm, you put them in your fishing vest, you know it’s got lots of pockets in it, and you take all your fishing gear out obviously and you keep the batteries there, and you walk around them against your body. There is many a time when I was working in the field, I slept every night with the batteries and the radio in the bottom of my sleeping bag around my feet just to keep them warm. Other stuff that we'll take besides clothing, there is no need to take a torch, it’s not going to get dark. Hand cream because your hands dry out so much. Obviously sun screens, lip balm, that sort of thing, and if I was going in the field out away from Scott Base, this trip is only 10 days. When that happens, you’re not going to have diet problems over 10 days. Try living in the field for four months, you’ll have to take some vitamin tablets as well, so really those are the only things. You don’t really need anything else, and keeping the weight down is great. You really want a minimum of gear, you just get sick of carting it.
