The only kitchen I have worked in with Tim was in a snow cave in the middle of the Northern Patagonia Ice Cap. Even under these conditions and just using a simple camping stove it was very clear that Tim knows his way around food. It was a treat to be stranded in a storm with him. I also know that Tim is a hard worker and has a lot of determination. We battled that storm for several days with constant dig shifts to keep the snow cave entrance clear. Tim was a trooper and and kept at it even when exhausted. If he wants something he will go all out to get it.
