In Part 1 of this series, the objectives and equipment systems investigated are discussed. In addition, some moderately cool-temperature baseline studies were performed at temperatures above the freezing point. Finally, a process for predicting fuel requirements for group expeditions using the baseline data was presented as a case study. Be sure to review Part 1 before proceeding with Part 2.
