      Anyway I'm reading this book about the Franklin Expedition and one of the things they had with them was rubber gloves lined with wool, which is simultaneously sort of genius for Englishmen but also can you imagine how manky those things got inside?

      Like jfc contact with the Inuit had been made long ago, they knew what the Inuit were wearing to survive in the arctic for thousands of years, maybe.... Go with that? I bet Inuit mittens are 10000% less manky than wool-lined rubber gloves.

      One thing that is so frustrating about the Franklin expedition was how much they didn’t just...go for help or (quite possibly) take advice?

      I mean it's not like there was anywhere to go for help at the time. And by the time they knew they were in trouble it was extremely too late to walk out of the arctic. Although some of them may have still been alive when the first rescue Expedition tried to find them in 1850.

      As far as I recall, but my memory may be wrong, but the Inuit stories about the expedition were summed up to me as, we were basically right there and we could have helped them. Although that was towards the end certainly.

      Your point about the rubber gloves is also really interesting to me, because sealskin is obtainable in Britain and Ireland. I guess I assumed they would be using that kind of thing but in my arch class we were never told about their clothing, just their food supplies.

          Inuit did help some of the survivors at the end but they were a family group who were subsistence hunters and not able to take on 40-50 starving white dudes. So they gave them the food they could spare and moved on.

          Ah okay, I misunderstood what we were told. There was something about how they weren’t far from more people? But this was maybe 10 years ago now when I learned about it.
