After Tim, Brent Sass's dog handler, competed in the Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog Race, Brent and his dogs are now starting this weekend in the Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race, one of the last warm-up races before the start of the Yukon Quest on February 6 in Fairbanks, Alaska, whose trail takes the mushers more than 1,000 miles along the #Yukon River to Whitehorse in Canada.
450 kilometers (280 miles) from any kind of civilization, we – five Alaska explorers and three Alaska guides – spend five days with Brent Sass and his dogs in the Arctic. All the excitement, curiosity and anticipation we felt beforehand, along with a healthy respect for the adventure, dissolves out here into a relaxed, calm and carefree state of mind. Because at camp you can simply live and be however you like. That much up front.
