Exercise Polar Warrior, aka exercise freeze your balls off. Rankin inlet.

Flew the sleds in. Flew in on a C-130, out on the C-17

Used to do exercises in Northern Ontario, then the Ruskies moved in on the Arctic, now they are in the far North.

It's fucking cold up there, like -50 during the day. When someone in my riding party complains about the cold, I just laugh and call them pussies.

4 stroke Vikings and Ventures get started every hour, to be sure they can run. The cats were pull start 550's, two strokes. I wish they'd had a transmission because the load they had to pull was too much for a one speed gear box.

Close...very cold.

When you have to do the stoppage drill on the AR 15, aka the C7, pull the gloves off, dislodge a bad round and get it shooting again, your fingers freeze in about a half second.

The aluminum rifle was so cold, just touching it froze your fingers.

I've tried every glove, mitt, heat pack, you are still fucked.

Riding in that environment, it's dark when you start out, it's dark when you stop after a couple hundred miles, is just brutal. Not that the sun does much heating.

There is no shack to warm up, no way to heat your hands or body, other than grab the engine or exhaust. You are shivering from start to finish in the best gear there is.

Set up one night in the tents, -45. I thought it better to set up in the small dips amongst the rocks, out of the wind.

Nope, the locals said set up on the sea ice. Get out the saws and build a snow block wall, or igloo around the tent. The ice is a constant temperature, the ground is way colder.

You want to pack it in for the day, literally, but a couple more hours making the snow walls and blocks around the tent works awesome. Wake up to 5C not -45C

Smart fuckers, but they do live there lol.
