Mackenzie River System Thru-Paddle to the Arctic Ocean

My 2,400 mile thru-paddle of the Mackenzie River system, from Jasper Alberta, down the Athabasca River, the Slave River, across Great Slave Lake, and down the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Ocean. Includes video of wolves, musk oxen and much more. For information on my adventures or to order my books and films, please visit bucktrack.com.

Nice one Buck, I enjoy your description of your adventures, have listened to your book twice !

Great to hear. Thank you sir!

Lots of good memories there. Wished I had seen Musk Ox. Never died but ate some burger in Inuvik which was great.
The lead into ramparts sure looked rough. Wonder if I had way different water levels...it was quit placid.
I lucked out on bugs.. put on repellent 1 time. So maybe being a drought year, the river was low.
I'd like to repeat it.
Thanks.
Oh, forget to mention, met paddler at Three Forks yesterday headed to the Gulf that met you on your BWCA trip a few years ago...Oliver Simes .

Another great trip. Are you planning on doing a slide show in Fairbanks? I know a lot of us would come to see it!

[@Brooks_Range]

Thanks Corrine. No plans for a slide show, but thanks for the thought!

Impressive trip! Loved seeing so many wolves. Were you in polar bear territory as you approached the Arctic Ocean ?

[@Brooks_Range]

Thanks Nick! It’s my understanding that polar bears occur in the area but aren’t very common.

Awesome trip. I live in Alberta. I have paddled the Athabasca from Jasper to Ft Macmurray. Minus Grande Rapids portage. Would love to do the whole trip. Alas a shoulder injury on a trip 2 weeks ago has me off the paddle. I will be checking out your books. Thanks for sharing!
