| i) |
Field Clothing The issued field clothing proved to be appropriate and satisfied greatly our requirements. |
| ii) |
Field Equipment The supplied field equipment was in good shape and very reliable. |
| iii) |
Food in the field and at Scott Base The 20 person day ration boxes were well packed in terms of nutrition and quantity. The food offered at Scott Base was both: delicious and nutritious. |
| iv) |
Specific Field equipment The allocated skidoos, the chain saw and generator were in good condition. The new service box proved to be of excellent use. The PICO hand auger with power head was in rather poor condition and without the re-supply of a variety of spare parts made up at Scott Base, drilling would not have been possible. We are very grateful for the innovative and supportive attitude of the Scott Base staff! The generator and snow density kit lent from the Berg Field Center performed well. |
