The 10Adventures Podcast 10Adventures

Join us on this episode of the 10 Adventures Podcast as we dive into an extraordinary journey with Michael Engelhard, author of "Arctic Traverse: A Thousand Mile Summer of Trekking the Brooks Range." Unlike most trips we discuss, this adventure takes place in the almost uninhabited wilderness of Alaska's Brooks Range, covering a thousand miles with minimal trails and just a handful of supply caches.
 
Michael shares his inspiration for undertaking this incredible trek after years of guiding in the Brooks Range. We explore the unique challenges he faced, from complex logistics and the constant presence of bears to the physical demands of traversing such rugged terrain. Michael also reflects on the solitude of the journey and its profound impact on him, emphasizing the essential connection between humans and nature.
 
Tune in for a compelling conversation about the beauty, challenges, and significance of one of North America's last great wildernesses.
