I can’t imagine being alone for 50 days in Antarctica with nothing to see but endless white
I thought Antarctica has been gaining I’ve 🤔🤔
Mark, what kind of sleeping bag do you use up there? 😱
With wind chill I’ve been hunting in upstate NY in -15–20, that was horrible enough
Not sure if I need this video. Polar bears not only don’t come to my latitude, but they also clearly don’t know Karate.
@podwatcher someone show this to ryan.
As someone who has spent time locked up I have often felt the problem with these expeditions and theorical space travel at length have not used a a large library of information with isolation and social types that have dealt with it. I can say with experience being locked in a closet size space with not enough room to stretch ur legs sitting down even though it being the purpose, someone can create a routine that focuses the primary objective. someone can get through the mental stress. Inmates do it every day.

With actual white snow surrounding these guys, suddenly they look brown, well cuz they are, and if one stayed out longer without much clothing, they’d turn actual white😂😂
Always choose a slower hiking buddy.
I could listen to him for hours!
This man loves lemmings 😭
Jeremy Renner broke his leg skiing, now he’s expert
