    Default Adventure Inspiration

    Got back from a trip this W/E and felt inspired to share this doc. Come visit Ontario, yay!

    Snowshoes and Solitude

    After his [Les Stroud] marriage to Sue Jamison in 1994, the two of them spent one year living in the Canadian wilderness. They traveled to Goldsborough Lake (50°41′55″N 89°20′46″W / 50.69861°N 89.34611°W / 50.69861; -89.34611) deep in the Wabakimi and built a [shelter] with no metal, plastic, or otherwise manufactured tools. They took a store of traditional foods and attempted to supplement it by hunting and trapping. Family and medical emergencies brought them out of the bush on two occasions. Their primitive living experience was filmed by Stroud and released as the 50 minute documentary, Snowshoes and Solitude, which was named Best Documentary at the Muskoka Film Festival and Best Film at the Waterwalker Film Festival.
