Bert Terhart crossed the entire country of Canada from west to east in a canoe in one season, and he did it alone. He is one of only two people to have done this, and the only to have done it without a dog.
We talk about growing up in Canada, finding adventure as a child, his adventure crossing Canada in a canoe, the gear he used, finding thousand-year-old portages cut in the rock, the misery and the enjoyment, the necessity of living in the moment, dealing with boredom, foul-weather gear, wildlife encounters, bears, a mountain lion, killer whales, sharks, badgers, and more.
