I had a very old & dear friend come round to see me today, Jason DeCartret the renowned polar explorer . He has broken the world record for the fastest vehicular trip from the edge of the pack ice to the South pole twice . His latest effort last year was under 3 days ! If you Google his name the details will come up . Vehicle is a heavily converted Toyota Tacoma with most of the work done by Lotus Cars .The attached scans were taken today & I'm the good looking one on the left .
For you gun enthusiasts on BOCN , when Jason was hunting poachers back in the 1990's , favoured weapon was the 7.62 SLR . On his Arctic travels [he's walked to the North pole 4 times] , favoured polar bear protection weapon was the Mossberg 12 gauge with single slug cartridges . Next year he's planning to drive from the South pole to the North pole via the whole of S & N America . I'll post his itinerary at a later date but he would be pleased to meet any N. American BOCN members who make themselves known to him at his various stops . I hope this is of interest to fellow members .
