Captain Scott and his team were prepared with foodstuffs and shelter, which they dragged with them as they trekked to the pole: this is called man-hauling.

Their food included pemmican -- a 50/50 mix of lard and ground meat, biscuits, tea, sugar, and other tinned and dried food. Their shelter included a pyramid-shaped tent and deer-skin sleeping bags.

Depots were laid in advance of their polar journey, with additional foodstuffs and cooking fuel.

Their equipment was the most current for the time.
