After accelerating their studies and graduating high school early, two teenagers set off from their hometown in Minnesota to embark on a 2,200-mile canoe journey up the heart of North America. Their destination: the permafrost shores of Hudson Bay. Inspired by a passion for the simple life, where gadgets and schedules are replaced by nature and its harsh beauty, the duo found something that many believe is lost: a true adventure.   

Follow the pair up the flooding Minnesota River and through the prairie plains of North Dakota, across man-sized waves on Lake Winnipeg, and down the foaming rapids of the Canadian north. The triumphs and trials of the unforgiving wild challenged their friendship, dreams, and lives in a way that even they could have never predicted. For those who have dreamt of wilderness escape, or those who prefer to simply hear about it, Adventure North will spur the imaginative spirit and remind you that adventure is always just around the next bend.

A great read of an incredible adventure. I'm not sure if most people could grasp the hardships a trip like this presents.
Listeners should also try Canoeing With The Cree that is mentioned several times in this book.

On reading this book I felt every stroke of the paddle, every spray from the waves, to anyone who has spent days on the water in a canoe this is a must read. Sean’s book brought back memories of guiding canoe trips, nights beneath the stars, sucking in the beauty of nature at every bend in the river.
It also brought for me familiar names of places where my father sought gold in the Canadian wilderness in the 1920’s and 30’s. His stories of God’s Lake and Knee Lake, of moose and bear.
It is so nice to know there are young people in this century who still seek the challenge of adventure, and can still fulfill their dreams in an unspoiled land of rivers, lakes and forested land.

thank goodness they didn't die to tell this epic voyage. I really like it. probably because deep down I dream of doing something like this in some remote areas. The adventure, the dangers with near accidents,,their encounter with wildlife and other people are very exciting to listen to. I enjoyed the author humor describing his story, he is funny. the narrator did excellent job. I highly recommend if you like the outdoor and adventure.
