    "I would like to invite you to visit our website at www.teamclarke.com. So you are doing a make shift repair or a permanent repair? No this stansion broke right here. So you're going to fix the stansion. We took a hockey stick because it is usually ash. It is stiff but flexible. You're saying it is hard to find the wood. Hardwood. So you just buy hockey sticks to do it. Well that, yeah, I mean it is make shift still. This would be a sled you use for training? Yes, it’s a sled that I used for my first couple of Iditarod’s and that is why it broke here. What was this piece called again here? Lashing, in the old days it would have been rawhide. And what are you using now? Nylon or something? I’m using some really thin thin climbing chord. That is just a support point then. It looks like I know what I am doing anyway."
