I went alone into the Alaskan wilderness for seven days, carrying everything I needed on my back.
Starting in Anaktuvuk Pass, 110 miles north of the Arctic Circle, I travelled roughly 225 km / 140 miles through one of the most remote places I’ve ever been — following the John River all the way to its confluence with the Koyukuk River, before eventually making my way out through Bettles.
It took two full days just to get there from Florida, involving multiple flights and a bush plane into the Brooks Range. For six days, I didn’t see another person.
Alaska is the largest state in America — bigger than Texas, California and Montana combined — and out here, you really feel that scale.
The route was incredibly committing, and as river levels kept rising, getting out became increasingly uncertain. Right up until the end, I wasn’t completely sure how — or if — I’d be able to exit safely.
It was beautiful, hostile, incredibly remote… and there were moments when all I wanted was to make it to the end and get home safely.
Come along for the ride.
