A Year in the Wilderness

September 26, 2015 By Dave Freeman

Amy_Dave_FreemanOn September 23rd, 2015 my wife, Amy Freeman, and I embarked on a yearlong adventure in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to protect the Boundary Waters from proposed sulfide-ore copper mining on the Wilderness edge, and to teach people about the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. During 366 in the Wilderness we travel more than 2,000 miles by canoe and dog team as we explore more than 500 lakes and streams throughout the year. We shared our adventure through regular blog posts on a variety of websites as well as social media.

We are excited to share Bear Witness with you. We hope you enjoy this 12 minute short film about A Year in the Wilderness. We are also working on a book about A Year in the Wilderness with Milkweed Editions! We encourage you to sign up to be notified via email when the book is released! We would also love to come bring our Year in the Wilderness to your community through fun and engaging live presentation. If you know of a school, organization, or business that might be interested in hosting us for a speaking engagement let us know!

    So much respect for what have done Dave and Amy to spend the year in the wilderness. I’ll spend a week in the wilderness and it leaves such an impact om me. A year in the wilderness through all 4 seasons would be life changing, (even staying in the tent while it is -24F) outside.

    Love the quote shared in the video “stripping away clutter and reveals life essence, stillness, simplicity, friendship, love”. Sadly the demands of our consumer driven society puts so many demands on our resources.

    Sincerely hope this will continue to make an impact. Thankful for people such as governor Mark Dayton.
