Fieldgear:

A considerable amount of gear was already available in the VUWAE Antarctic store. This included such items as primuses, small tents, sleeping bags, kitchen utensils, small radios, etc. Hew purchases were mainly replacement items (tea towels, pot mits, etc.) and spare parts (primus spares, etc.). A number of field items, not page 4 normally required by VUWAE parties but used during the Boomerang Range trip, were borrowed from Scott Base. This included heavy down clothing, rope, ladders, sledge radio, rescue gear, skis, toboggans, sledges, polar tents, etc.
