An Interview with Frank Wolf, Explorer, Adventurer, Author and Filmmaker

Описание: In episode 295 of The Strenuous Life Podcast I talk with Frank Wolf who in my mind absolutely exemplifies endurance, determination and perseverance. His first major expedition 25 years ago was an epic 8,000 kilometer paddle across Canada in a single season and he hasn't slowed down since. Whether it's cycling 2,000 km on the frozen Yukon River in winter or paddling the entire coast of British Columbia he's constantly out there and pushing himself, exemplifying the strenuous life.  

I really enjoyed our conversation and he had some amazing tips for getting out into the deep wilderness on the cheap. I guess you could call him a wilderness travel hacker who is willing to share his secrets!
