Bushcraft Yukon

06/04/2025

We added new canoes to the Bushcraft Yukon fleet! What better way to celebrate the arrival of the brand-new Esquif Prospector 15 -as our dedicated solo tripping canoe- than heading out for a day trip on beautiful Takhini River?

A sunny but insanely windy day spent with a good friend, a curious caribou, a young bull moose...fun!

Takhini's rapid, the 'Jaws of Death' are a mere trickle with the current low water situation. Pick a line through the rocks!

One last ski trip for this season! We strapped on our ski and headed from Fish Lake to Rose Lake and then out via Watson Valley near Whitehorse. Five days of amazing sun, mild temperatures, packed trails and spectacular views! Good times!

Winter came early this year to the Yukon. First snow hit the ground mid October and it hasn't really stopped snowing since. Little bit here and there, but we are definitely in full winter mode. Usually the weeks of late October and through November are a bit of a waiting game. Summer is over, but winter not quite here yet.

This year everything is different. The early snow allowed for winter pleasure like snowshoeing, skiing, dog mushing way earlier, while temperatures are nice and days still reasonably long. Perfect conditions for some fun outings!

I spent the last two days on a quick overnight trip near Whitehorse. Amazing views, Moose and Caribous encounters, great camp spot. Just a super fun little winter adventure to set the mood for the season!

Canoeing the Pelly River in the early fall has to be one of my favorite wilderness trips! Thousands of migrating cranes, spectacular fall colors, bears and moose and a wonderful mountain scenery...what's not to love?

Wildfires are a regular occurrence in Yukon's wilderness. As part of the natural cycle in the boreal forest lightning caused fires rejuvenate the woods by burning old fuels, fertilizing soil, heat activating seeds and spores and making room for young growth.

Paddling through active forest fires can be dangerous depending on conditions and it is crucial to know how to deal with the risks. On recent trips we had to paddle through a number of fires. In all cases cooler weather and sometimes rain helped to keep conditions reasonable and safe. Smoke was the biggest concern.

As sad as it is to see favorite campsites and beautiful landscapes go up in flames, it is equally fascinating to experience another force of nature from such close distance.

Just back from another wonderful canoe trip. The beautiful Teslin River provided once again! A great week with a good weather mix of pleasantly light rain and scorching sun. We turned our bounty of precious morels and the fresh catch of arctic graylings into delicious forest food. Enjoyed refreshing swims in the cold river, hiked to beautiful view points and soaked in the stunning wilderness of the Yukon! Thanks to Torben and Anja, Jens, Sebastian for a fun week!!!

Die OutdoorWelten Redaktion fragte mehrere Reise- und Wildnisexperten aus verschiedenen Bereichen "Was ist eigentlich Wildnis und was bedeutet Wildnis für Dich?"...und auch bei Bushcraft Yukon landete eine Anfrage.

Die neue Sommerausgabe des OutdoorWelten Magazins ist im Handel erhältlich ...mit dabei Fabians Antwort auf diese spannende Frage!

The first canoe trip of the season under our belt! The Teslin River offers a beautiful multi-day wilderness trip in Canada's Northwest. Relaxed paddling, scenic campsites, good food, promising fishing, spectacular wildlife encounters...that's what it's all about on the Teslin!
This time around we chose a pick up by float plane from Hootalinqua with our friends at Aviation. An amazing pilot and beautiful weather made for a spectacular flight back to Whitehorse. What a treat!
