Cream of the North
This is a two-part series featuring Frank Wolf and me. Watch as I learn the Frank-style adventure, tackling a multi-week unsupported canoe trip with no rest days, journeying upstream along a rarely traveled route between Yellowknife and the Arctic community of Kugluktuk. Having only done one overnight canoe trip before, this entire experience was a complete mystery to me.
