Down to the Ice

A little help please. First time preparing to send two helicopters down to Antarctica for the upcoming season. Got my long underwear, got my water wings, got my big furry boots, got an old copy of "snowPlowboy" magazine. What am I missing?

Seriously though, what can anyone suggest for some first time ice explorers? The equipment is a pair of BO 105's.

It all depends how long you are going for, what time of the year you are going, what ship and what contract. I have done six seasons down there so PM me the details and I might be able to help.

Don't forget the the Bourbon,you wont need to take the Ice.Also don't borrow Ski Doo's from Scott Base as they might send you home and not let you back....but oh what a ride!!!!:ok: :ok: :ok:
