Escaping Fire in the BWCA

Avery Aalfs' annual BWCA fishing trip changed when a wildfire broke out near their camp, forcing an unexpected evacuation. Avery explains how quickly the situation turned and the fire forced them to take a new route out of the wilderness. Avery relives the journey out of the BWCA and the challenges that made their trek out difficult; including extreme heat, high winds, no map, no water filter, too much gear, and smoke. Travis and Avery discuss the lessons learned, how Avery’s ultra-marathon training factored into their journey, the power of teamwork, staying mentally strong, and being grateful.
