Greenland Tale

I recently returned from a week on assignment in Greenland. I wore my Grey Adventurebilt in beaver. On one of the trips to the Arctic we landed in the C-130 at a scientific research station Summit Camp.

It was a near white out 5 degrees F with a steady 40 mile an hour wind with gusts at 11,000 feet. While walking hat on and parka hood pulled up the wind blew my hat from my head. Within a second as the hat blew through the air it vanished into the abyss. A fellow traveler walking next to me said "What the Ice takes, the Ice keeps"....so very sad was I. After an hour we were all told we needed to get on the plane and leave ASAP ( we had been scheduled to stay for half the day) as if we did not try to take off now we would not be able to take off and in that case maybe stranded for days. As the plane was boarded and the door was about to be shut a snow mobile approached and tossed the AB into the plane. No one could believe the hat returned. It was in shape just as it was when it left my head after blowing about on the Arctic tundra.

Great Hat Mr.Delk!!!

Sir, and I say this in all sincerity, you are my hero! Great story, great shots, great...style. Now, you, Douglas and myself need to sit down, have some deep, dark Espresso, and recitate - I'll take the notes. There HAS to be a TV series in there somewhere.

Everyone should own a hat by Art Fawcett and a Steve Delk as well!!!
