Set fire to your frozen shoes. Cut your own hair with a pocket knife. Chop raw garlic with your teeth. And join Hig and Erin for the movie premier of their year-long journey along the North Pacific Coast.Â
In June 2007, Hig and Erin left their former apartment in Seattle and walked north, 4000 miles to the Aleutian Islands. With only one rule: “no motorized transport”, they made their way on foot, in packrafts, and on skis, through some of the most amazing and remote terrain in the world. Not just in summer, but through an entire Alaskan winter. Â
Experience this modern adventure through their eyes as they encounter breathtaking scenery, harsh weather, amazing wildlife, starvation, and danger. “Journey on the Wild Coast” premieres at the Anchorage International Film Festival on December 6th at 7:00 pm at the Out North Theatre.
