“Well if I do swap here or end up in the drink, then at least my core will remain warm and maybe I’ll survive a bit longer.”

Stephan Kesting is a Canadian firefighter, Jiu-Jitsu instructor, and an endurance canoer. In this episode Stephan chats with Luis about Jiu-Jitsu, the difference between a kayak and a canoe, A 42 day, a 1,000 mile solo journey across the Canadian Arctic and Subarctic by canoe, what gear he carried on this trip, challenges of the trip, the use of GPS, bear encounters, and his book Perseverance: Life or Death in the Subartic.

Also, Adam Lopez joins Luis live in person to help him run the show and chat about his music.
