230 Miles --- 103 hours --- Canoe Race. In the summer of 2020, a group of friends raced from Lake Superior to International Falls, MN eating only trail mix and pemmican and sleeping very little.

Saskatchewan—Northwest Territories—Nunavut. On June 10th, 2013, the Tri-Prov Arctic boys set out on Black Lake, Saskatchewan, and finished 58 days later, August 6th, on the Queen Maud Gulf at the Arctic Ocean, Nunavut. In between these two points, they paddled through three Canadian provinces/territories and traveled roughly 1,000 miles - no resupplies.

One year after our 109-day canoe trip to the Arctic Ocean, Quinn, Bram and I explore our emotions and lessons learned from our experience.
