    Hart of the YUKON- 14 Days Solo Camping in the Yukon Wilderness - E.5- Bull Caribou & Wild Berries
    Welcome back to the wild journey of 'Hart of the Yukon Solo' in Episode 5. Today's chapter is a testament to the resilience needed to conquer the untamed Yukon. This day pushed me to my limits, unveiling a series of encounters and challenges that define the heart of adventure.
    The wilderness has its surprises, and today it reveals the grandeur of a caribou, a symbol of strength and majesty. A massive bull crosses my path, a reminder that nature's wonders are boundless.
    Berries beckon, a gift from the land. I pause to gather a bountiful harvest, although their identity remains a mystery. A distant rumble announces a bear's presence, and instinct leads me to move forward, reminding me that every step in the wild is a calculated choice.
    Navigating the river's rhythm, I confront swift currents and waves that test my mettle. Among the challenges are the sweepers, lurking hazards demanding precision and strategy.
    Through the river's intricate braids, I venture, each channel a choice to be made. Nature's story unfolds in every bend, as evidenced by a moose skull hanging in an eerie display, a testament to the ages.
    An old burn zone comes into view, fireweed painting the landscape with a burst of color. As the sun begins its descent, a swift and narrow braid engulfs me, leading me astray. Concerns arise, but determination prevails, guiding me back to the main river's embrace.
    The journey continues, cliffs and a beaver lodge weaving their tales into the scenery. Night's curtain approaches, and I finally find respite in a riverside campsite after a day that covered an impressive 45 kilometers. Fatigue sets in, and a simple act of 'bushcraft' crafts a toothpick - a reminder that even in the wild, small comforts matter.

    😂…..I’m guessing someone made a comment about how you eat your oatmeal……lol. Good Lord of all of the things from watching your videos THAT is what was pointed out. Buh bye….no Negative Nancy’s needed. Thanks for another epic video. Such a beautiful area where you are at.

    Another great episode - that oatmeal session was next level! Heavy breathing, the spoon scraping on the plate… felt like I was there😂.
    Truly a great series - I hope someday I have the opportunity for a big trip like this, doing the lady Evelyn loop next week 5 days so that will
    Have to due for now, more than welcome to join, fishing the falls before trout season closes :)

    The scenery and the water color are competing for ultimate gobsmackery. Just wow, Jim, this one's a beaut! Does "whitewater" = "cool whip"? Ask Stewie, I guess. If you were hunting sasquatch, that bear sound would have been a sasquatch. That's how it works. "Sweepers"- the new horror movie coming to a theatre near you. Beautiful!

    When I was much younger I was big into mountaineering and rock climbing, and I can't help but wonder, when I see those magnificent peaks all around, that has any of them ever been climbed?? I bet there are a few first summits to be had up there. Back in old Blighty, we call Fire Weed, Rose Bay Willow Herb.

    I think you will make couple of over 60 km days, because that's what you do. I think on this trip you hook into your PB Greyling/Thymallus as well. The Express is always a comfort in the wild. The scenery was Spectacular, that one mountain looked like it had a Calderra. Thanks for the ride Jim, Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Love the oatmeal shot. Missed the coffee creamer being stirred with the knife but you know, you can’t have everything 🤷🏼‍♂️.

    Aside from the obvious complements on scenery etc. I want to give you kudos on your canoemanship, video techniques, emergency prep and food planning. I love the use of the pld time oatmeal, pelican, canned goods, etc . I guess I'm too old fashioned to appreciate these freeze dried 3 course meals!
    Would love to 😊ge
