Alaska’s outdoors people may think they’re tough, but how about paddling 40 days in a dugout canoe in the rains of Southeast Alaska in October and November, dressed in wool, without modern gear? That’s what John Muir did, and his writings about the experience changed science and started the Alaska tourism industry. On the next Outdoor Explorer, repeating a favorite show from July, 2014, join host Charles Wohlforth and guests to talk about Muir’s historic expedition and others. What these guys did will amaze you.
