Skurka

    On September 5, 2010, budding adventurer Andrew Skurka completed a 4,680 mile traverse of an astonishing chunk of Alaska & the Yukon,  his only modes of transport being skis, his feet and a packraft.
National Geographic did a feature article in the March 2011 issue, and you can read more at Skurka's website.

   I found this video and I thought it was pretty neat, pretty much all visual stuff, no interviews or the like.  This was recorded when a couple guys joined Andrew for a small portion of his trip.

I found the video on this Finnish guy's hiking blog, there's a trip report there.
