Gordon Buchanan takes on a dog-sledding trail in the Yukon

About This Program

Wildlife film-maker Gordon Buchanan teams up with seven huskies to take on a treacherous dog-sledding trail in Canada's spectacular Yukon wilderness. Inspired by Jack London's novel The Call of the Wild, it was Gordon's childhood dream to command a team of dogs out in the Yukon and follow in the footsteps of the Klondike Gold Rush explorers who used this trail. He meets Pierre-Luc Fortin, expert musher and owner of 29 loyal Alaskan huskies, and is introduced to his seven-sled dog team
