Why sustainability is a big question, and I have explored this inquiry in a couple essays to foster perspective about this word and how it is part of our adventure.  Thanks for reading!

“I am ordinarily narked by people who attach a worthy cause onto their adventures but these guys were genuine and true in their approach to their sustainability message. This is not a trip onto which the sustainability mantra has been tacked, but an all together more organic intertwining of the strands of cause and expedition. Also sporting the grizzled beard of an expeditionist, Marc pulled out the tools that he had made himself and then in turn put to use in fashioning the Birch Bark canoe that is now carrying their dreams up and down lakes and rivers to the Pacific. It was great to meet guys who were devoted to an entirely different form of expedition. Mutual adoration flowed between us as we marveled at their discomforts, the slow pace and intensity of their set-up, while they were suitably impressed by the scale of our ambitions.” -Nathan Haley, a bicyclist we met in Jasper on route from Purdue Bay AK to the southern tip of South America.
