Facing the Unknown: Into the NorthWest Passage

  • We're officially in the thick of it now, folks. Every day is a grind - endless stretches of open water, muscles screaming in protest, and the constant battle against whatever weather the Arctic throws our way. But let me tell you, the payoff is unreal.
    Crystal-clear water reflects the never-ending summer sun, chunks of ice pierce the horizon, and the whole place is bathed in this crazy, 24-hour daylight - it's like living in a beautiful, bizarre dream.
    Just when you think you've got the rhythm down, the universe throws us a curveball. One of our key pieces of gear needs some serious TLC, forcing us to get creative and rely on our resourcefulness. It throws a wrench in the plans, for sure, and we've got some tough decisions to make about how to move forward.
    The journey isn't just about the physical grind and the unexpected. It's about the incredible wildlife encounters too! From majestic whales breaching right next to the boat to playful seals popping up to say hello, the Arctic is teeming with life.
    Join us as we navigate the beauty and challenges of the Northwest Passage. What kind of crazy situations or incredible wildlife encounters do you think we might experience next? Let us know in the comments below!
    A big thank you to all the Skotes and supporters that helped make this trip possible. You crossed our minds everyday up there.
    P.S. Don't forget to subscribe to Skote Outdoors for the latest updates on our Arctic adventure!

    We appreciate you bringing us along but when 30 days of adventure goes by in 12 minutes one has only to wonder…. “How much have I missed?”
    What an adventure!

      you are totally right, alottt is left out. we have terabyte after terabyte of footage from this trip. This four part series on UA-cam is just scratching the surface, but luckily we have partnered with a network and will be releasing a full length documentary later this year. That's the one we are excited to share with you!
