"BY ENDURANCE, WE CONQUER"
Sir Ernest Shackleton
COURAGE. PREPARATION. PATIENCE.
As Sir Ernest held, the best things in life don’t come easily. If your life’s set prize is worthwhile, it’s worth your patience, your discipline and certainly your courage.
With the change in season, it’s time to plan, pack and prepare to go further..

Few embody this principle like photographer Guy Davies and his expedition partner Ricardo Braz.
Fully equipped in Shackleton expedition apparel, the pair ventured into the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile on another quest to film the region’s elusive Pumas.
Climbing into the snow, conditions change dramatically with temperatures cooling to -10 degrees and winds gusting up to 40 mph.
Serious adventures demand proper kit: well fitting, fully tested and carefully dry packed. A proper, versatile layering system is vital to manage the change in conditions and activity levels. Any short cuts can be fatal.
High energy treks through soft snow generate heat fast. Merino base layers wick sweat and protect against UV.

Once the camera is set up, it’s time to wait: motionless and silent. Immersed in the moment and epic surroundings, Guy’s pulse rate drops. Engineered down layers, tested in Antarctica protect the core.
The blizzard kicks in. Full hardshell protection is needed to keep the heat in and the wind and driving snow out.
Finally, after seven hours of waiting in the frozen extremes: Guy spots a lone adult Puma. As he frames the shot, the cat looks up and stares straight down the barrel.
A moment to treasure and remember always.
"It is in our nature to explore, to reach out into the unknown"
