He鈥檚 learned by his own hand how to live and sustain himself in the wilderness, thanks to numerous weeks spent in the American backcountry. His solo expeditions have taken him from Montana to Alaska, pushing him to rely less and less on modern equipment to guide and support him. He knows he will have to push himself harder than ever once alone on Vancouver Island. He plans to rely heavily on his real world experience during this time in the wild. He鈥檚 left behind his wife and their two dogs, and while he鈥檚 trying to understand the enormity of the challenges involved, he’s excited to learn more about himself and test his mental toughness.
