My Antarctic Girlfriend

[sladethefireman]

Yes, yes. . .you read that correctly. . .in my overnight camping trip in the ice and snow and deep penetrating cold and bright piercing sun (though we were told we were lucky to have such great weather. . .and they weren't kidding) I found myself cuddling close to and sharing a sleeping bag with my new girlfriend. . .it is only for this adventure,

I don't know what you guys use for sleeping pads, if at all, or if you even sleep on the snow ever, but I used some of the foam pad from a sleeping pad and cut it to wrap around and cover the bottom of my nalgene. Then as your girlfriend, or your hot cocoa/coffee/water it will stay hotter longer.

Man, I hope you're having fun out there. Every once in a while I think to myself, dang, it's cold here, but then I remember you, and that you are at the bottom of the earth freezing your ass off.

Does your pee freeze before it hits the ground?

Nothing is better than softening the aging process and keeping the hot darlings hot for a little bit longer. . .I'll take into consideration. We sleep in mummy bags with a fleece liner insert.

It really is not as bad as I anticipated. . .though today was kind of brutal.

I'm having a blast though. . .even if my pee doesn't freeze before it hits the ground. . .but I did successfully pee on the Ross Ice Shelf without losing anything vital.

The Obligatory Joke.
