Description

In the Spring of 2017, the renowned adventurer Adam Shoalts embarked on an epic solo trek across the Arctic: from Eagle Plains, Yukon to Baker Lake, Nunavut. Shoalts fought Arctic gales, funding applications, loneliness, exhaustion, bears and re-supply errors to test his limits. Luckily, he survived to write this incredible book.

Join this month's book club to discuss the author's inspiring journey (or just come hang, drink a beer and nod with enthusiasm whenever somebody says the word 'ostensibly')

The book club's resident expert on slightly dangerous Arctic adventures, Erin, will lead this fascinating discussion. Join us!

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.

A: Ah it's fine, but prepare for spoiler alerts!
