Tyler establishes a survival camp that tests his limits, while the sparse landscape shapes every decision. The presence of Inuk shelters and seasonal changes underscores the harsh, unpredictable nature of this place.

Tyler splits his days between research and survival, learning to endure the cold, build shelter, and find sustenance. He experiments with eating mice to test his body’s resilience and to understand Arctic demands. The environment forces practical ingenuity and mental fortitude.

🐺 Wilderness bond

Two wolves, George and Angeline, become catalysts for an unlikely companionship as Tyler observes their behavior and signals. Through marking territory, howls, and cautious approach, they form a fragile trust between human and animal. The wolves’ dynamics reveal nature’s intelligence and complexity.
