Eric Larson, Famed Arctic Explorer, To Lead Presentation in Wisconsin

Eric Larson, one of the famed members of the One World Expedition to the North Pole, will be leading a presentation in New London, Wisconsin on October 13, 2007.

Larson and his expedition team single-handedly pushed and pulled specially modified canoes over 600 miles across the Arctic terrain in 2006 to successfully become the first team to navigate the North Pole adventure in summer.  Eric Larson is currently planning is second great adventure, traversing the “Three Poles”, which includes both the North and South Poles, as well as the world’s highest pole on Mt. Everest.

The presentation taking place in New London, Wisconsin will offer people insight into how to prepare for camping in winter conditions, including food planning, equipment requirements, travel strategies, and proper dressing for the elements.

The second part of the presentation will focus on Mr. Larson’s Expedition experiences, how to set up camp, sleeping in the cold, Mr. Larson’s “Leave No Trace” philosophy, as well as how to handle emergencies in extreme weather conditions.

Each session of this special workshop and presentation will be limited to 25 participants and will cost $15 for each session or $25 for both.
