Life & Death in the Arctic: A 36-Day Man / Dog Winter Expedition Across the Wild Ungava Peninsula (Full Documentary)

🌬️ Join me, Jim Baird, and my steadfast companion, Buck, on an uncharted odyssey through "Life & Death in the Arctic: A 36-Day Man/Dog Winter Expedition Across the Wild Ungava Peninsula." This genuine 2016 expedition begins in Kanguqsujuaq, Quebec, along the Hudson Strait. From ascending a 2000-foot plateau to discovering the enigmatic Pingualuit Crater—an ancient meteorite impact site—the journey unfolds authentically.

⛰️ Navigating north along the Povungantuk River, we confront the harsh reality of Arctic blizzards, all documented firsthand as I filmed every moment myself. This isn't just about showcasing the Arctic's raw beauty; it's an unfiltered tale of survival and the relentless pursuit of the unknown. Feel the authenticity as I share moments when bone-chilling cold and blinding storms made me question the essence of this daring expedition.

🌨️ Beyond the breathtaking landscapes, "Life & Death in the Arctic" is a personal account of resilience and silent camaraderie. Every step, every challenge, is captured authentically as Buck and I push the boundaries of exploration. This documentary stands apart, filmed entirely by me, making it a raw and real experience that surpasses anything you'll find on TV. Join us in uncovering the untamed spirit of the Arctic in a narrative that's as genuine as the frozen landscapes we traversed. 🏔️🐾

Later this year (among other things), I would go on to canoe across much of Northern Saskatchewan and then went on History Channel's self-shot survival series ALONE Season 4.
