Dan and I talk about his recent solo adventure paddling down the Hess River in Yukon Territory Canada. Dan lives in the UK and runs an outdoor adventure education company in addition to being a part time professional adventurer. We talk about his solo float trip on the Hess River, gear he used, aspects of planning a wilderness trip, running whitewater alone, near misses on the river, what its like to have a family and juggle the need to spend days on the land away from civilization, why we need it and much more. So please listen or watch on Youtube as there are some visuals that go along with the conversation. As always please visit and support the conservation organizations below. You can connect with Dan or myself at our interweb links below as well. And as always get out and spend more Days on YOUR land. Dan Smith.
