After a deadly school shooting in a remote Canadian aboriginal community took the lives of four people and injured seven others, a caring teacher sought to present a healing opportunity for the students. But it was an opportunity that could only exist in one place; nature. She asked a TV celebrity that the students admired and well known for his outdoor adventure prowess, if he would consider coming on a canoe trip down a traditional indigenous river route with 8 boys directly affected by the shooting. And so it was that Les Stroud, creator and host of the international television series Survivorman, boarded a plane for the far northern community of La Loche, Saskatchewan. He had no agenda but to spend time with the students, in the greatest place of healing on earth; the wilderness.

In the spring of 1994, Les Stroud and Sue Jamison bade farewell to modern society and followed their hearts north, into the remote reaches of the Canadian wilderness. Leaving home, family and jobs behind, they would spend the next year living closer to the land than most of us could ever imagine. And they did it without the luxury of a single modern convenience. Les and Sue were attempting to replicate life in North American some 500 years ago, before Europeans first set foot on the continent. They created fire without matches. They built a shelter with a stone axe. They survived on what the bush provided. In doing so, they realized the true meaning of living wild, and how closely life and death coexist when you're many miles from human contact. Snowshoes and Solitude is the incredible story of Les and Sue's year in the Wabakimi wilderness. It chronicles the struggles and triumphs of the daily lives, and their burning love and respect for the natural world.
