The Flush: Ep 325 – 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.Presented by: Walton’s (waltons.com/), OnX Maps (onxmaps.com/), GAIM Hunting & Shooting Simulator (https://alnk.to/74wKReb), Black Gold Explorer Dog Food (blackgoldpet.com/), North Dakota Tourism (ndtourism.com/), Federal Premium Ammunition (federalpremium.com/), Alclair Audio (alclair.com/), & Lucky Duck Premium Kennels (luckyduck.com/)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
