I can relate to this argument in principle. Building base here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_of_Inaccessibility_resear... for example would be a great exercise for building base on Mars.

We could learn great things, and maybe reuse technology for going on Mars.

The Russian Vostok base base or the european Concordia base are already in quite similar environment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concordia_Station

And IIRC Concordia already tested some water recycling technology from ESA for example.
