Hi Aidan! Kathryn just stopped by on her way to Utah. We had a nice visit and she said you have a KZbin channel! So I subscribed to see what you're up too . Brrrr ND prepared you for this!!

Please keep making videos

How do you get a job like this?

Thanks... but the auto-generated captions are so bad (with at least dozens of errors) that they're useless; it would be better to leave them out, and let people turn on KZbin's auto-generated captions if they want them.

Those are some badass vehicles

Amazing quality videos! Very glad I stumbled upon your channel!

sounds like a unique work environment. well, as long as "the thing" doesn't get you.

Many of these vehicles have been used in the Alaska oil field for over 45 years. I drove Delta 2s &3s back in 1980.

if your from the area we should meet up this upcoming 2024 season I'll show you some great spots I'm a powder hound so I'm always looking for sweet stash spots If you see someone riding a Coors light board that's me its a pretty rare board so it should be easy to spot

amazing visuals! thank you fot sharing this with us

Very nice videos, thanks for the effort. Have a look at the subtitles on this one, they seem to be off-sync.

Thank you. I found this post interesting and inspiring. The diversity of stories from around our planet just brings me to a place of supreme contentment and peace. The Earth continues to challenge us in our lack of paying attention. I appreciate you as a storyteller with an incredible story to tell. I loo forward to more.

Great content and narration. There's something appealing about working somewhere so remote...

More ships, planes, scientists & now tourists are needed there to prevent the Antarctic ice melt 🤔

did you see the photo of one of the kress tires sunk into a hole in the transition from a couple years ago?

Do you keep the engines of the vehicles on engine block holders all the time or just warm them up ahead of time when needed? Just wondering how you keep the machinery from completely seizing up and getting damaged.

Could you do a video on the weird cat tractor TT195 with the giant cab. You show it at 7:25 pulling some sort of sled.

Love the content, keep it up!

It was MV Green Wave in my days at Mac, summer 2000 ❤ I did go on the USCG cutter while it was docked, met the Captain at the Kiwi Cargo Party 😂❤ Managed to get to Cape Evans, Bratina Island, and climbed Castle Rock without ropes 😂

Where r u from 😊

You never get me down there. Too cold and nothing to do.

So youtube has "CC" button right next to full screen and stuf. If you force us to watch captions for no reason its distracting. Auto thumbs down.

Awesome vid

But I think this is on Ross Shelf Ice, isn't it? McMurdo Station itsself is build on solid ground and has gravelled streets.

Thanks again friend.

Thanks for sharing!! Is there a website that showcases what you all do down-under-down-under?

Why do you have subtitles?

Also I didn’t think cat would color their vehicles in anything but yellow

The delta truck looks like one of those land trains

Ok, I NEED a set of Delta tires for my square body. Those gotta be cheaper than the 44" swampers

Love your storys! Please make a bigger seperation in volume between your sound sources. For example backround music while talking about -20db. 😎👍

How's the internet there? Decent ping for giaming?

We need to look at the reasons that the United States of America and various other nations have built and maintained research stations in Antarctica. Antarctica is a very unique continent that makes it a base for a number of research stations doing various forms and types of scientific research. Also a number of nations have enough money to build and maintain and operate these research stations. These research stations need to supplied with food and fuel and other necessities. Also waste products need to be removed. This is very costly because Antarctica is a very cold and inhospitable environment. This is the closest thing to being on another planet while still on earth.

Was down there with the Navy in the 90s, got qualified on the Deltas and several loaders. My favorite was the Delta-3 named Flipper that used to be a fire rig (might be the box now?). It had a double cab that could seat 7 if you were friendly, and a *much* beefier drive train. I took an aircrew out to a lane that had to divert to Pegasus from Willy after a 3 day Herbie dumped about 2 feet of loose snow on the road. It was tearing along at top speed like it was nothing with snow flying around us making our own blizzard. Those Econoliner PAX vans were old when I was there, the Deltas were older, I think Ivan was on it's 3rd season and the DV8 (Deviate) Cat was the newest rig there my last trip down. Want to go back as a Heavy Op, even a shuttle driver would be nice. I miss it, along with the stopovers in Christchurch, still get restless in October like I should by flying South for the winter.

What kinda balloonsyou talking about? sateloons???

Just out of curiosity. Does the van actually reach normal operating temperature engine wise , in subarctic conditions?

I saw "Machines of McMurdo" back in 1971 at Madison Square Gardens. I think "Witches Tit" Opened. it was a great show, I did molly?

Rationing alcohol will only introduce a black market...

I’ve been in the delta with one of the worse hangovers of my life when we were evacuated from Davis in 2016.

You can’t have air brakes there because moisture will build up and then it will freeze. Just fyi

One of my regrets when I was in the Coast Guard was not being able to serve onboard POLAR STAR or POLAR SEA (when she was still in service and not being used as spare parts for POLR STAR). That being said, pretty informative video and appreciate the short format. --OSC S, USCG retired

Thanks for providing this insight, it’s neat to see these specialised vehicles.

Great video, but i think it can be longer...... I think?

Kool video. I got to ride on that Van and take a tour around while on a supply run to McMurdo Station. Hard to believe C-5 air craft can land out on the ice.

Is everyone trained on it ? LOL Get over yourself

Are they hiring?

My daughter was an officer on the Polar Star a few years back. She loved it.

Great video❤❤❤❤❤!
