Are you sick of listening to your tentmate snore? Are you tired waiting for the group to get ready? Do you talk to yourself? If you answered yes to these questions, you’re a perfect candidate for traveling solo. Bear Paulsen, General Manager of Northstar Canoes and a frequent solitary conversationalist, has done many extended solo wilderness trips in all seasons. He’ll discuss the differences between traveling with others and alone. He’ll cover how to travel solo safely and discuss logistical considerations.
