"You're going to learn everything you'll learn about caribou in the first week, because that's how long it's going to take them to leave you behind." Migrating with a caribou herd and walking 3200 km from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to Canada's Yukon are just some of the adventures Karsten Heuer has been on and that we can only dream about. He shared his stories with us and what he learned along the way.
