The ultimate memento mori. The conversation with Adisa Banjoko on The Strenuous Life Podcast got pretty heavy, but I think it covered some important topics.
I donβt know where coach is going but Stephan is hopefully off to connect Kasba Lake in NWT to Arviat in Nunavut. Try to find the route!
Printing maps on doublesided Tyvek is a gamechanger; waterproof, tear resistant, and not dependent on batteries. Much better than fooling around with waterproofing compounds, laminating them between layers of plastic, or babysitting paper maps that shred and dissolve when immersed in water #outdoors
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to βfederalizeβ elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

TRIGGER WARNING: these are the missing files detailing the SA that Trump allegedly committed on a girl between 13 and 15 years old (POTUS appears on page 9). These files were hidden by the DOJ and were only released after @npr.org figured out that they were being hid.
βThe president has an incredible knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks, so the American people can rest assured their commander in chief is well awareβ¦β

We covered a lot of grim topics, but I was glad of the opportunity to talk to my friend, Jeff Shaw, about religion and MAGA politics on the latest episode of the Fighting Matters podcast
To people who think the Iran war canβt escalate, let me remind you that one person getting shot in the streets of Serbia, led to World War I and 20 million people dead.
There are 1000 different ways that this current war can spin completely out of control, and also now we have nukes.
I ran into Kevin Callan at the Explore Magazine booth at the Vancouver Outdoor Show. His talk today had so many stories and Iβm definitely going to steal his quote,βYou have to like the people youβre on a trip with, especially if youβre going soloβ
Bloody Christians giving Christians a bad name.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
I just released a detailed video about how to pick the right footwear for your canoe trip this summer based on hundreds of days expeditions in remote places. Check it out here: youtu.be/9g8M05sd11g #canoeing
Horrific, but entirely in keeping with how theyβve been acting
Near disaster! This photo captures the exact moment my boat decided to make a break for it on my first serious solo trip. Lesson learned: always tie up your boat! #outdoors #canoeing

On Instagram? Iβve been quite busy there, but your comment backs up my claim.
This probably isnβt an issue on shorter trips where you can bring fresh foods, but on 20+ day trips the freeze dried meats are worth their weight in gold (and cost almost as much)
I deliberately increased the amount of protein I was eating a few years ago on my first Tha-Anne river attempt, and found it really did help with recovery from all that exertion.
On past expeditions Iβve usually brought about 4000-5000 calories of food per day. I realized I was falling short of my protein requirements, not coming near to even 1 gram per kilogram of bodyweight, a low estimate of what you need when you are paddling, portaging, and working for 12 hours a day
