So I packed my suitcases for our Iditarod trip, and I had to make some very tough decisions about what to bring with me with limited space in my bags. I don't know what the weather will really be like day to day, so I found myself having to really strategize! It got me thinking about what mushers have to pack in their sleds. They have certain requirements of course, but they can bring a few other things that are personal to them. My students and I talked about the choices they have to make. I mentioned to them that they are not allowed to bring cell phones or devices that that could give away positions of other mushers. They thought that was fascinating! This is a race after all!
