Some reason the videos aren't playing on my phone. Is this the same bunch? Interestingly fuel tankers.

Oh I did find the other one, not the same. Interesting the difference in choice of machines.

….. ''cool'' videos,... I think those guyz are nuts, i'm froze to the bone just watching... guess that's an adventure you would do, to say you've been there , not many have. we used a fleet of those CAT ''challenger's , in the phosphate mines in FLA.,. they look totally different in the snow, instead of the ''sugar'' sand. I noticed an average of three mechanics , per expedition … ''you're only going as far, or back,.. as your best crew....'''... 100% kero…??

Way back in 1997, I was asked if I would be interested in going to the South Pole in Cat Challenger. As an Cat Challenger owner I was sorely tempted. But with a new wife and a baby at home, I thought it was a bit much....

I have often thought what it would have been like to have gone. But those days I am afraid are behind me now. I still love to watch these You Tubes of these guys, and wonder if....

Kirk, I don't remember if I shared this project my company did years back for a gold mine up in British Columbia. They also had several other rigs to transport stuff over the glacier...

That last picture looks like a Nodwell Chieftan. It has a bigger brother called the Super Chieftan. We had a fleet of both in Prudhoe. Slow, a little rough on the steering, a real hassle to change out a grouser or tire on!
