[wb4pan at mindspring.com (Charles W. Davidson)]

  On NPR i heard about a group that is attempting to reach the North 
Pole pulling 300# sleds and consuming 7000 calories per day for about 67 
days. The trip has never been made during the long night and unassisted 
and with out food caches in advance. Face protection " I take the snot 
that runs from my nose and smear it all over my face to protect from the 
wind"...
