(More customer reviews)Doug,
Read your North Pole Tenderfoot Book this weekend. Loved it.
Your experience trekking to the pole was your set point for inner strength. You've joined a unique and altogether too small of fraternity of those who have pushed or been pushed to their own edge of existence, found the wherewithal to push that edge out in front of themselves into new territory, and live to ponder it.
The trick is to remember that the majority of those around us have not even come close to knowing such an edge exists, let alone stood on its brink. Some people are lucky enough to work with a majority of men and women who have all been there and back. Expectations for such a group can really never be too high.
Think of how the world would be if everyone had trekked to the pole, the top of the Himalayas, or some other experience that took them to, and beyond, their edge. . . .Salute.

Why would Doug Hall follow in Robert Peary's 1909 sled tracks to the North Pole, despite the grueling terrain and temperatures between 15 and 62 degrees below zero? His goal was to resurrect the spirit of Peary's journey in a world increasingly driven by instant gratification, short term business focus, and lack of sustained dedication to great causes. Peary succeeded where some 578 expeditions before him had failed. North Pole Tenderfoot is Doug’s attempt to let the reader experience what is possible when one does what Peary did: think big.
