* Explorer [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Amundsen Roald Amundsen]] was famous for his preparations, which tends to make his part of the "race to the pole" seem a little dull. In addition to carrying and stashing far more supplies than he would need (and setting out flags ten miles to either side of his depots), before he ever left Norway he developed a recipe to use "just in case" he had to feed his dog's food to his men. He also had a plan to [[EatTheDog feed his dogs themselves to his men]] (and the other dogs); this, unfortunately, was not "just in case," but was his intention all along and he did eventually carry out the plan. Hey, don't look at his [[Website/TheOtherWiki Other Wiki]] page like that. Dogs are a good source and biological factory of certain vitamins since they produce them naturally while humans need an external source. By intending all along to eat the dogs, you need to bring along fewer supplies (but still, apparently, an excessive amount) and also provides extra insurance against scurvy (vitamin C deficiency). Both of these helped Amundsen succeed where those before him had failed, died, or, usually, both. It's also worth noting that most of the expedition was made with what sums up to a stolen ship and a kidnapped crew (he had both on the condition of going to the opposite pole and changed course underway).
