Wandering Around Out There With A Canoe On My Head

Armed Forces Mountain Man Contest

The video below details the 50km Mountain Man contest, held by the Canadian Armed Forces. It is comprised of a march with a 15 kilogram rucksack, a 3.2 km canoe portage, 10 km canoe paddle, followed again by another march with a 15 kilogram rucksack. The winner finished after about 5 hours, 2 minutes and 13 seconds. Not bad I’d say. Too bad it’s only for military staff, or I’d give it a try. (Disclaimer: this post may be edited if they allow non-military staff in the race)
