    Nice room that you have! We stayed in long huts. We used a barrel for our bathroom. That was in October of 1971.
    Our white boots were called bunny boots. Heavy!

      @@anthonygutierrez1620 Mechanic. Got to work on equipment I had never seen before. Also ran the battery shop.
      The weird thing was being on watch fairly often in the mechanics shop. Nobody else but the guys in the base.

    Carhartt arctic bibs are rated for -40 degrees . I work in a giant industrial freezer and we use them and there jackets. But I switched out my duck coat for there arctic rated hoodie . Pretty much there jacket with out the hard duck material. I love your videos and one day I hope to come and work in Antartica. Most my friends and family think I am crazy for wanting to. Especially from being from Hawaii. lol .

      You're not crazy, its an amazing experience, one worth taking for sure! Yeah -40 sounds about right. The Canada Goose parka is definitely worth it here. Some people don't use them and use less bulky ones but I use mine everyday. Speaking of freezer, I am filming the giant freezer video here today! Cheers!

    I expected even more layers. I see the guitar in the background. Did you play before going to McMurdo or learn while there?

    • @KVexKVex
      @KVexKVex  6 років тому +2

    That parka is made by Canada Goose, very expensive very warm. That jacket is prolly 600-800 dollars. Do you get to keep it? That would be a bangin jacket.
