Training by towing a tire

Training for expeditions to Yellowstone this year and Antarctica next year require unorthodox training methods. One of the most important is dragging a tire around the neighborhood countless times.

This is the second best simulation to what dragging a sled across a frozen landscape is like. When doing this, you'll be using cross country skis with skins to pull along the 190kg(300lb) sled. Last winter my sled only weighed 100lbs so it was fairly easy going. This year is different - I'm simulating the full load I'll have in Antarctica.
