This is what 80lbs looks like

Have I mentioned to you yet that all of our survival equipment, tools, etc, had to fit within an 80lb budget?Which includes: a tent, tarp, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, mallets, stakes, and various other tools and equipment. That's all stored in the giant brown bag to the right. I don't know if you will find this as funny as I do, (probably not since you are likely not as sleep deprived,) but all of my Arctic survival clothing fits into that tiny bag to the left. Because they are super-futuristic helium-elastomer nano-layers. Really sort of a biofilm.... But no matter how much weight you save in that department, here's the hard truth you need to know when you are carrying things around the Arctic: when you put rock hammers in your luggage, it's heavy.
