Field Gear

Field Gear

Many items were already available in VUWAE store. They included ice axes, sleeping bags, anoraks, Mead tents, and kitchen gear. New purchases to replace worn or broken equipment were made. Mr. Frank Askin constructed four fine sturdy kitchen boxes for only the cost of the materials. Antarctic Division provided expensive or specialist equipment, including motor toboggans, sleds, polar tents, down clothing and radio transceivers. Antarctic Division also clothed D.S.I. R. personnel.
