Eric Larsen journeys from the

aisles of the Outdoor Retailer
Snow Show to the wildest spots
on the planet. By Tyra Sutak

Eric Larsen has completed
more polar expeditions than
any other American in history.
Last month, he set out on the
bold Last South Expedition,
attempting to set the unassisted, unsupported solo speed
record to the South Pole while
raising awareness about climate change. Brutal weather
forced him to pull out 400
miles in-but he will be back.

Tell us about the philosophy
of the Last South Expedition.
My Last South Expedition was

about a few basic things: The
first is pushing what I call "the
leading edge of adventure."
Exploration in the modern age
is less about accomplishing
geographical firsts and more
about pushing personal limits
in extreme environments. The
second is the "cost of adventure"-the effect that my passion for these remote places
has on my family. The final
important component was
my ongoing effort to engage
people about climate change
and promote the need for a
carbon-neutral economy.

What gear did you need?
My lead sponsor for Last
South is Citizen Watch. I
was on a tight schedule and
precise timing was essential. I
used the Citizen Promaster Altichron and Promaster Tough.
Both watches can withstand
extremely cold temps and
feature Eco-Drive technology,
which converts light into en-

ergy, eliminating the need for
batteries. My sled was loaded with lots of MSR gear. I'm
outfitted head to (almost) toe
in Helly Hansen. I also wear
Wigwam socks. And I recently
started working with Seirus,
testing out a new prototype
face mask. On the navigation
side, my Garmin inReach Explorer + 2-way satellite communicator is totally bomber.
Why is it important for you
to go to the Outdoor Retailer
Snow Show?
It's a very important part of
connecting with my current
partners and reaching out to
new ones. Most brand managers and marketing directors
are incredibly busy and don't
always have a lot of time to
go over details. I get to meet
with my current partners
and go over the schedule for
the year-both from my side
and theirs. You can't beat an
in-person meeting.
