Parvati's North Pole Journey: Styrofoam, cat-5 internet cable and duct tape

Parvati Devi: Back from hiatus, and North Pole Journey Day Three...: "We return from visiting the thousand-year-old Inuit village that overlooks the Resolute Bay Memorial, ready to prepare for our final journey to the North Pole tomorrow morning. As Meghan's vehicle rolls up to the inn, Sunanda and Rishi jump out of the side of the van and immediately get to work setting up our tent. We need to test it in this weather and icy ground. It will be even colder at the North Pole and we will have little time or resources there to deal with technical difficulties. We must be ready..."

Thanks to Air Canada, an important piece of Parvati's gear - the wig that she wears during her performances as the multi-dimensional being "Natamba" who embodies the essence of I AM consciousness - is left behind in Toronto. But Parvati and friends are able to improvise a wig using what they have on hand: some styrofoam, mayonnaise tub lids, cat-5 internet cable and duct tape. Duct tape is arguably the most useful thing ever invented since the Industrial Revolution!
