I'm thrilled to announce that Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic. This is the story of a 1,000-mile solo journey through the remote Canadian North. On that six-week pilgrimage to the Barren Lands of Nunavut after a kidney transplant. On that journey, I faced down bears, dodged forest fires, endured storms, and crossed the uninhabited tundra completely on my own. A single mistake would have meant death and yet I've never felt more alive.
My name is Stephan Kesting, and I'm a firefighter and an adventurer. I have spent much of my life learning how to perform in high-pressure and high-risk situations. In this book, I also share how to be more effective in high-stress situations, hold onto hope in the darkest moments, and overcome any obstacle.
