Hart of the YUKON - 14 Days Solo Camping in the Yukon Wilderness - E.2 - Running Out of Water & Cooking Fish Stew Over the Fire

"Embark on the next chapter of the 'Hart of the Yukon Solo' adventure series with Episode 2! In this gripping installment, I take on the challenges of a relentless shallow creek that proves to be both a test of endurance and a source of unexpected rewards.

As the day begins, I find myself trudging through the shallows, dragging and wading my canoe for hours on end. The water's resistance, the weight of the canoe, and the unyielding terrain make for an arduous journey. But as the sun climbs higher, determination keeps me moving forward.

Amid the struggle, I manage to catch three prized Arctic grayling, a small victory that infuses the journey with a glimmer of success. Yet, worry hangs in the air – the scorching heat and drought-like conditions raise concerns that the creek might soon dry up completely, adding a new layer of urgency to my quest.

As day turns into evening, I'm faced with a decision. With the hour getting late, (about 8 pm), I opt for a decent camping spot, acknowledging the need for rest and shelter. The journey has taught me the value of pacing and planning, a wisdom that guides me to wait until the cooler hours to press on.

Ingeniously, I rig up a tripod pot holder using logs, fashioning a cooking solution that turns my Arctic grayling into a delicious fish stew. As the savory aroma fills the air, it's a moment of triumph, a reward for both patience and resourcefulness.

Join me as I navigate the delicate balance between the challenges of the wilderness and the rewards it offers. Subscribe to 'Hart of the Yukon Solo' for more captivating episodes, where every step brings us closer to the heart of true adventure."
