The logistics of these expeditions is interesting. He was solo with two sleds so he had to travel 3 times the distance until he used up enough supplies to get down to one sled.
Shuttling gear sucks but sometimes there's no alternative.
I have done some long solo hikes, but, prepositioned caches, or had drops at places along the way so I didn't have to carry too much in my pack at once. I can't really imagine doing what this guy was trying under good conditions, let alone in a polar climate. Yikes. Pretty amazing that he's around to write the story.
