In a place where there is no sanctuary for survival you must be able to provide your own sanctuary for survival.

"Barren Land Arctic Survival Training: BLAST from Unforgiving Greenland"

"You’re on a plane that goes down in the Arctic. There is nothing but snow and ice as far as you can see. What do you do? And how do you survive?"

See the You Tube video:

"The US Air Force has a course for that. In a 4-day, 3-night exercise, a mobile training team of Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape instructors, known as SERE specialists, hit the wavetops (er, ice caps?). A repeat customer, the New York Air National Guard’s 109th Airlift Wing calls the training Barren Land Arctic Survival Training, or BLAST camp for short."

That New York Air National Guard’s 109th Airlift Wing performs just about the most dangerous duty of any military unit on the planet earth. Specifically and perhaps uniquely with a mission, equipment and training found nowhere else. Able to conduct flights to the polar regions north and south both for routine services and emergencies in the worst possible conditions imaginable, and do so successfully.

My hat is off to them!
