Musher Frank (1st installment)

Frank Moe our resident musher gave us an overview of his last sled dog race:

Thanks to Stone Harbor for the great gear that we used for our 2nd place finish in last weekend’s White Oak Sled Dog Classic.

The Princeton Tec Extreme headlamp burned bright all night even though it was 30 below. And my Terramar long underwear not only kept me warm but were still dry after 130 miles. That Geo Fleece Baselayer is the best top layer I’ve ever worn by far.

Stay posted for news from the Beargrease….coming soon.
