Alone Across The Arctic: Movie

[dougd]

Ran across this movie today while waiting for resin to dry. It's on Tubi which is free online streaming movies: https://tubitv.com/home. Lots of hardships and upstream which I've done in the past but never at this level. Link to the movie: https://tubitv.com/movies/575386/alone-across-the-arctic?start=true

Wish I was a younger man!

Looks interesting, thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up. Just received his book "Whisper on the night's wind" but my wife confiscated it, so I'll patiently wait for her to complete it.

Around age 12, the Arctic explorers became irresistible. I read them all.
We used to do snow camping trips every winter often on cross country skis. My dog would pull a light sled.
At age 71 the cold has lost its allure. Had to give up telemark and cross country skiing due to injuries.
A wall tent with a stove or an RV and much better at this age.

Thanks for the tip. We watched the movie last night. Very ambitious trip which takes a special person. Looked like he lost a lot of weight along the way. He had a film crew but 95% of the footage was shot by himself. (The commercial breaks on tubi were a little annoying but beggars can't be choosers, I guess.)
