My expedition this year only starts in July when the lakes thaw but I still have to get all my food and most of my gear ready in the next two weeks. That’s because the only economical way to get a canoe and 30 days of food and gear shipped up there is on an early-season supply flight to the fishing lodge at the edge of the tundra where I’m starting my trip. 80% of my gear (including all of my c. 150 lbs of food) has to be shipped out in early May, the rest comes with me in early July.
