#61 Boundary Waters with Dave Freeman

Hiking Thru Life

In this episode, we talk with Dave Freeman. He is half of the Freeman Explore team. The Freemans lived a year in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in order to educate and spread awareness for the campaign to Save The Boundary Waters. The wilderness is a place where many go to disconnect with society, but technology was the key to connecting the Freemans to their purpose behind living a whole year in the BWCAW. We talk about the campaign to Save The Boundary Waters, what it all means, and how people can get involved. In addition to living a year in Minnesota’s BWCAW, they have been exploring wild places all over the world since 2001. Some places include the arctic, paddling to D.C., and kayaking from Seattle to Alaska. They have taken their expeditions and turned it into educational experiences sharing the wilderness through technology with K-8 students from all over the world. If you have a passion for the Boundary Waters, want to be informed on the campaign to Save the BWCAW, or are an educator looking for a unique experience for your students, this episode is for you!
