MUSH

As spring approaches, professional dog mushed Lauro Eklund preps his team to head into the bleak and beautiful lands of the North Slope in search of Caribou. As a subsistence hunter, this Alaskan knows that if he can bag one, it will provide him with enough meat to last into the early fall. Driving close to ten hours up the Dalton Highway, he and his girlfriend unload twenty of his dogs, a few sleds, and enough supplies and gear to last him for a week in the backcountry.
