“Another storm came in last night. And so I've been pinned down all day here... another day in the tent and didn't do too much, not much to do here.”

“I don't think anyone's ever tried to do this river, you know, from the headwaters like it is now. And there's a lot of unknown ahead. That's a perfect trip. And I'm committed…”

“I don't know if anyone's ever ran this Horton River from the headwaters where I'm at. I don't think so. I don't know how anyone would get in here... I couldn't find any information.”

“I'm never that surprised because I don't really expect much, you know, any kind of, "I'm okay, it's going to be a good day today." That doesn't work out up here. Life like that is that way, too.”

“Four-day warm-up from the south in the 20 degrees: the bears now are for sure going to be coming out. This is game over for them. They hang out in their dens... I'll be looking for their tracks.“

“Absolutely white out. You couldn't tell top from bottom. If you turn around, you get totally disorientated, and you really have to kind of focus...“

“It's always fun going over a divide. You don't know what you're going to get... It's really the downhill side, when you're going down, that's much more dangerous, getting things down.“

“I've had ice for drinking. Ice is just absolutely superb. You also save about at least half of the gas when you're melting ice into water versus snow.“
