You can’t bring anything that could carry non-native lifeforms on it, to preserve Antarctica’s unique Flora and Fauna from invasive species.

Wouldn’t anything that didn’t evolve to deal with Antarctica’s brutal climate just immediately die?

With the number of species that live on a stick, you could get unlucky and transport one which would randomly happen to have traits good for thriving in Antartica.

A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!

Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.
