There's even film footage too. I own this one but it's up north in storage-
Sometimes when I'm sailing (or even diving) when something goes wrong or the seas pick up I think about what Shackleton managed and think "Oh yeah, he'd really think this is a pickle. Probably laugh his ass off at me."
Of course now days most people won't walk to the store two blocks away. My house up north is a few miles away from where Lewis and Clark spent the winter in 1805-1806. They spent the winter there after walking pretty much 3/4 of the way across the continent. That spring they turned around and walked back.
So Phil, ya tough old bastard, are you north of 40?
