Toni Traub - Our supply tech at the South Pole!

[@jlm3303]

I helped build the supply arch and the DNF in 07/08.... Incredible experience.... great season for sure!!

[@xarzu]

I have so many questions. Do you have in-door plumbing? How is all the other "waste" treated?

[@jlm3303]

@@xarzu waste is pumped into abandoned water well and left to freeze... it will eventually reach the ocean in maybe 10, 000 years or so.. really not an issue tho.. there are many ways that sea life will breakdown bio waste.. It's waste that doesn't breakdown that causes problems for the environment.

[@GoodDeal123]

How does this video only have 13k views is criminal. This is what I want my daughter to see... It shows two cool people, being professionals, but also human and chilling together. It's not a crafted pr schtick, or any agenda behind it... I want my daughter to think she live at the south pole for a while, do good work and chill with cool people.

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Aww thank you for that. I actually sent this to Toni so she could appreciate your comment

[@MrKotBonifacy]

I'm not sure if the phrase "chilling together" there, "down there" ("literally" ;-) conveys the same feelings and carries the same emotions as it does here... ;-)

It is mind blowing that there are so many roles at South Pole; it's quite some operation!

[@kristofferhellstrom]

I wish I could live there. Seems like such a cozy place!

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Super cozy!

[@MrKotBonifacy]

Cozy allright, but there's a rather long walk to the nearest pub, unfortunatelly... ;-) And if the doctor told you "no more than one beer a day!" you're [____] up, I'm afraid : )

[@CinHotlanta]

That station completely fascinates me - I think it's the efficiency and thought that has to get put into everything; I love the humanity that reveals itself when you depend so much on interpersonal cooperation.

[@amythistxue1]

yeah just the logistics must be crazy as it might be literal months between chances to get resupply from the outside so you need redundancy/replacements for everything essential or ways to make it on site, and when you are talking everything from hyper specialized scientific equipment to the heavy machinery used to move snow/cargo to food/clothing for all the people on the site

[@LionheartedDan]

Thanks for sharing a bit of your life there.

[@sbrunner69]

Amazing glimpse into a special place. Thank you both!

[@damienhenning541]

I worked as a "Supply Tech" at South Pole Station for the winter of 2009. Back then the arch constriction had JUST begun, and it was called the "L-O" (Logistics Operations center). And, we weren't Supply Techs, but rather "Materialspeople". The new title is WAY better :) Anyway, glad the arch finally got built! I'll bet that the once highly dreaded "Food Pull" is MUCH easier now.

[@ViserraTargaryen220]

It’s always nice to see another woman working in a warehouse. 💪🏻 I would love to work down there for a season! Edit to add: I just shocked myself that I already follow Toni on TikTok 😂

[@Big_AlMC]

Youd be #1 as a female down there

Marvelous. A Crown brand forklift. Nice.

[@worldofdanny6660]

Hey Joe, I always was curious, how you guys get Electricity & get water at South Pole, please make a video :)

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Yep I'll try! I made one for TikTok a while back that I'll upload here shortly, I might get around to doing a longer form one for KZbin

[@madmadmal]

I wish i could go there for a year or two.

Hi Joe, any chance of an update on what you are doing now?

[@Leatherargento]

She seems so cool!

[@nicksideris2600]

that smile would keep u warm all winter / summer / winter!😘

[@AdamG1983]

In those severe and isolated situations, having...female companionship would be clutch

[@m.asquino7403]

Toni if you had your choice to work as a Supply Tech in Antarctica, Iraq, Middle East or Djibouti. Where would you choose?

[@jimturnbull2343]

What is the mailing address to South Pole station? I have visited 6 continents but would love to just have a mail chat with anyone down there!

[@addhandlehere]

Wow! Awesome!

[@Satrun8]

She is beautiful🌹

[@hypercomms2001]

One day…on Moonbase Alpha on the South Pole of the Moon… in 60 years… there will be a supply tech coming to you to ask you to fill out a form…because to paraphrase Omar Bradley amateurs talk adventure/exploration, but professionals talk logistics….

[@gbuddah]

Will you go back to do another winter or possibly summer?

[@barryt.youtube]

What do you get when you mix a supply technician with a water plant technician? Find out in about 9 months lol

[@paulmorley1225]

This dude's totally mixing and mingling no doubt about it.

[@reenality312]

So how do you apply to come to the south pole? It looks like an amazing experience and i am absolutely amazed at all the jobs at the station.

[@teeanahera8949]

There’s this thing called Google, you can find out about stuff on it……🙄

[@crystalclear2423]

Can I get weather updates for your station?

[@MsJordydee]

No compost or methane digesters for waste on station?

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

It's an interesting idea, but no. I imagine no composters because it would only save space; the compost would still need to be shipped out. The methane digester would have to be fairly small-scale, but they would have to build out a system to utilize the methane somehow.

[@jfbeam]

You'd have to heat the trash for it to work. That's the best part of being the "trash man" on the ice... nothing rots.

[@deansimono7057]

I think they should make a "tour" a little longer, don't you?

[@reenality312]

If you go on his KZbin page he has a 3 part series that goes all the way through the station

[@DevilDocPlays]

Whats the pay like?

[@quantumx9729]

Waaaiiiit.. you don't seperate waste like that at home?

[@padadge]

who is the final authority down there i mean who is the final decision maker there

[@mikeadler434]

👍👍

[@Dave-in-MD]

What about the poop? Does that get hauled out too?

[@jlm3303]

No... it's pumped into abandoned water well... they have to relocate the wells periodically when the well becomes to difficult to sustain... at that point its the perfect place to dispose of human waste.

[@kellyneal9323]

[@WhatALoadOfTosca]

Really? It came down to "I'm the X woman"? No one was looking at you for being a woman until you said that. You didn't need to. Just be a person for what you are. No need for that nonsense. :)

[@marabanara]

She didn’t assign herself that number, the organisation does. Because it’s insane that she’s only the two hundred and whatever woman to have wintered there, when there have been more than 1300 men. That’s why the organisation does issue the women those numbers, because it’s still remarkable.
