Explorers Club member, JEFF BLUMMERFELD speaks with Eoin Drinan.
The Explorers Club has around 3000 members, including most of the well known explorers of all time. They have 25 chapters around the world.
Jeff talks about much of his own work such as organizing expeditions for field testing exploration equipment in harsh conditions, his book which aims to show people how to fund the trip of their dreams, his association with Sherpa Adventure Gear, the ways of making each new project happen and how convincing the corporate sponsor to pay for a expedition is often more difficult than the trip itself.
He also talks about his next adventure to Nepal and the reality of dangers involved in such an expedition.
