12/18/2010 Preparing Our Camping Gears

Here are our camping gears to bring - three Scott tents, one mountaineer tent, sleeping bags, food, tools like shovels, pick ax, and saw, radio, toilet kit, kitchen utensils, etc...so many things to bring for four of us to camp for only 5 days!

After spending more than one week at McMurdo Station taking camping classes, organizing flight schedule, coordinating with radio operators, and preparing food and camping gears for our next trip to the South Pole and our camp site, I felt somewhat relieved and am now in a mood of having some extra time here in McMurdo Station!
