Watch this space!!

This weekend Celia (my girlfriend) and I went shopping for what I believe will be a key ingredient in experiencing Antarctica.

It is light and sturdy,  it has a nice grip for use with bulky mittens and it has a sheath for protecting the rest of the stuff in your backpack.  


Admittedly it is labeled as a pruning saw and maybe I am not an authority on the topic but I am convinced that this saw will be ideal for cutting ice.  In life few things turn out the way we expect them to, so it is with cautious enthusiasm that I am planning the construction of my first igloo.
