In addition to expert advice, Richard Weber also helped me to acquire boots and bindings for the expedition. Richard’s boots and bindings were perfect for this long, cold expedition. I didn’t have to worry about the bindings – they were durable and I never had a problem! The boots were warm and protected my toes during my entire time in the Antarctic! Richard’s boot and binding system is easy to use, strong – and will be the least of your worries on a polar expedition!
Be sure to contact Richard if you’d like to get a pair!
Christian Eide, Norway
Adventures out of Norway!
Adventures out of Norway! Christian provided me with alot of information. He was keen to share, and it is clear that he loves polar adventures. If you’re thinking of a polar expedition, really and truly, Christian would be a star to travel with. Aside from a bevy of valuable information, Christian was also kind enough to send me an “Arctic Bed”. This kit is really ingenious! It is a “bag” in which I lay my mattresses and sleeping bag. In the morning, I zip up the bag and lay it on top of my sled, rather than rolling my mattress and stuffing my sleeping bag every morning! Great idea! I can’t praise Christian enough. A wonderfully kind man, who is knowledgeable of the polar environment and generous in spirit. Thank you for all your help, Christian!

I asked Margot a number of questions, especially pertaining to navigation. She knows her stuff, and although I didn’t use the sun-method of navigation, I did use my shadow in relation to the sastrugi to maintain my course. Thanks for your help, Margot!
