    I was at the finish line in Nome 2007 when he won the Iditarod rite after winning the Yukon Quest. And happen to see him in the Bar a few hours later shaking hands, passing out singed Iditarod cards and grinning from ear to ear. I gave my card to my son.

      He is sponsored by them that's why he wears their stuff he even says it in the video. Canada Goose used to be just a normal everyday brand in Alaska before it became a high end fashion brand. Had two of the heavy duty ones issued to me in the oilfield and traded one for a Carhart jacket that fit better, think I screwed up on that trade.

      You’re a socialist. A leftist with no sovereignty. The United States is the greatest country in the world because I can do whatever I want just as long as I follow the constitution. You’re a subject to a monarch, a sovereign. You have a fake government based off of the United States of America.

    I'm a cross country skier that wears wacky clothes for the weather - whatever works to keep me warm, and not sorry if it is not fashionable. I like winter camping, snowshoeing, and sitting down in a snow-bound forest for a hot cup of tea. Even so, I only have an inkling of what it would take to win an Iditarod. I've met people like Lance - so cold adapted that they make Wim Hof seem like a surfer dude. What you are seeing here is what capitalism does to super-heroes.

      I hear you, keep warm on trails or walks , forget fashion my body don't care.It must take so much out of someone to complete /win a Iditarod .After spending a couple of hours in the -15 the last 3 weeks can only imagine.People are capable of so much more ,its our mind that needs to stay sharp to continue.Easy for me to say ......Money on the other hand can be your worst enemy ,especially if you have bad habits..no kidding.take care

      @@89thunderfoot I agree that it's total BS that he's that much in debt just because he wanted to stay alive, but there's always 2 sides to the story. If the US didn't make as much as it does the US also may not (actually probably COULD not) do nearly as much research and development for treating and/or curing multiple medical issues. It's a 2 sided sword. There's a reason that the US leads the world in so many parts of the medical field. I hope my point makes sense and comes off right. I'm not saying I agree with one side or the other, it just seems like a necessary evil or something similar.
