Description

Join Wilderness Book Club to discuss our latest book, The Sun is a Compass by Caroline Van Hemert.

This an extraordinary journey into the wild—both the untamed landscapes of the Arctic and the depths of human resilience. When a scientist feels trapped in the confines of academia, she and her partner set off on a 4,000-mile expedition by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe, from the Pacific rainforest to the Arctic coast. Along the way, they face grizzlies, fierce weather, and the raw beauty of untouched wilderness. But more than just an adventure, this memoir explores the delicate balance between knowledge and intuition, civilization and wildness, and the search for a life guided by wonder.

Join us as we discuss this thrilling tale of grit, love, and the call of the wild.

Wilderness Book Club is a member-led club offered free to Wilderness Union members. To join us, become a member and find the details in our Discord.

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.
