Besides being a very interesting character ... he also smoked a pipe!

Apparently, the key is to only smoke really tiny amounts of tobacco at a time. What is that pipe ... a group 0.5?? LOL

He looks Fridtjit.

Looks like he enjoyed bigger pipes at times...

They did not take alcohol to drink. Nansen said about this: “Alcohol in any form is, in my experience, absolutely reprehensible; it gives perhaps a little warmth and enjoyment straight away, but one has to pay for it later”.

He was more positive to tobacco when it is “enjoyed in moderation, but also that relaxes the body strength and weakens the nerves, endurance and toughness all round”. Therefore he only took enough tobacco for one pipe each on Sundays and special days such as anniversaries.

If Papipeguy was on that campaign, a mutiny would flare up...most of the rest of us also.
