FIELD GEAR

FIELD GEAR

Field gear available in VUWAE stores in Wellington and Scott Base included sleeping bags and rolls, windproof gear, ice axes, packs and kitchen boxes. Replacements of worn or broken equipment were made using the finance from University Grants Committee. The remainder of the field equipment, including toboggans, tents and radios, was requested from Antarctic Division, as was down clothing which has previously been borrowed from Antarctic Division but which will be the responsibility of VUWAE in any future expeditions.
