With all the f--- ups just trying to get the gear there with the method you suggested, I think dropping it in was ingenious, especially how they had to get special permission from the national park. It's all quite a feat.

Before the movie was released I went to one of leo's lectures, and he really discussed a lot of the behind behind the scenes stuff, like all the reall c--k ups with the deliveries, and organising the trip/training. I have muchos deep respect for this movie, and those boys.
