Day 2: Training, Training, Training!

Today we started a barrage of training:  light vehicle training, waste management training, fire safety training, light vehicle walkaround, field safety training...

In between it all we managed to get our communications gear and our generators, and package up some more of our equipment.  Soon we'll be ready to head out! 

And this evening we went over food.  That's one of the last things we need to collect and get packaged up.  We hope to be at Roosevelt Island only 7 days, but we're bringing about 30 days worth of food, as the weather out there is notoriously bad for getting flights in, and we want to be sure we don't go hungry waiting for a plane!  Tomorrow: pulling food, and packing up the last of our gear.
