Immediate report of Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1988-89: VUWAE 33

(i)	Insulated plastic containers of about 20 litres capacity (wide mouth "IGLOO") to store a water supply required for some field parties.
(ii)	Field parties be supplied with updated information additional to the field manual concerning year by year changes in field supplies e.g. new items of field food etc. The field food system is now more flexible and caters better for individual tastes but it is necessary to know exactly what is available.
(iii)	Frozen food lines could be expanded to include potato products e.g. oven chips as an alternative to plastic spud or rice. Brown rice should also be added to the field food stocks.
(iv)	There should be some empty food boxes available for frozen foods and for those events who find it more efficient to pack food boxes themselves. Frozen food boxes could be insulated, or painted a different colour (e.g. white) to reflect the suns heat.
