Hart of the YUKON - 14 Days Solo Camping in the Yukon Wilderness - E.7 - Climbing a Mountain Alone:

In Episode 7, I take on the challenge of a lifetime as I conquer the mighty Netro Mountain.

This episode isn't just about scaling heights; it's about sharing knowledge. Before embarking on our epic trek, I'll guide you through the essentials of preparing for a day hike. From blister prevention to selecting the right gear, I've got you covered.

As I ascend Netro Mountain, the landscape becomes more rugged and awe-inspiring with every step. The climb is challenging, but the reward at the top is worth every bit of effort. Here, on the mountaintop, I encounter the majestic Dall's sheep, a true testament to the wild beauty of the Yukon.

But that's not all. Along the way, I quench my thirst from a crystal-clear mountain runoff stream and savor the taste of nature's bounty as I pick wild blueberries.

Finally, as it grows later in the day, I find my way back to camp. Once safely back at camp. it's time to kindle the campfire. With the crackling flames as my backdrop, I cook up a hearty meal of pasta over the open fire, a perfect ending to an extraordinary day.

Join me on this incredible journey, where each episode is a lesson in resilience, discovery, and the unbreakable bond between humans and nature. Subscribe to 'Hart of the Yukon' and stay tuned for more adventures that will leave you breathless."
