People ask, “Why didnʼt you copyright or patent protect or trademark BASIC?” Well, it wouldnʼt have been used if we did that. Nobody would have used it . . . . [IBM] wanted to make BASIC for one of their time-sharing systems --early versions --and we said, "Fine." They took our manual and they did it exactly, including what we regarded as mistakes. [Laughter] We said, “Fine. All you have to do is give us credit in the front of your manual.” Now if we had tried to protect BASIC in any way, trademark or anything like that, none of that would have happened.Kurtz, Thomas E. 2002.

At night, temperatures drop to 20 or 30 below zero, and as the wood in the stove dwindles, the tent gets colder and colder. To mitigate the cold, backpacks and gear are set against the outsides of the tent, and everyone uses heavy sleeping bags. Still, staying warm is a challenge. One key piece of gear for warmth is mukluks - traditional native boots made of moose hide, wool, and canvas.
