Follow Your Dreams
One man's passion for the wide-open spaces and freedom of the Canadian North.
This is a story about one man's passion for the wide-open spaces and freedom of the Canadian North. Frank is from Germany and knew nothing about Yukon when he decided to give up his job and become a trapper. He chose a rough life of fishing and hunting over material comforts and the responsibilities of raising a family. The call of the wild was too strong to resist.
Ever since he was a child, Frank has been obsessed with Canada and the trapper's' lifestyle. When he eventually saw the breathtaking landscapes of the Yukon for the first time, he simply knew he had to come back. "'I got here and it was just like in all my books. Everything I had dreamed about, just the way I had imagined it. It was exactly the same."' He had found his very own Jack London paradise. '"You have no idea here what the place looks like. When you actually get there and see that calm and that vastness- it's fantastic'." In Germany, Frank first trained as a butcher, in the hope that he would gain a work permit for Canada. Over the years, he built a good career but even so, the urge to return to the forests and lakes of the Yukon was stronger. He left and never looked back. '"It''s probably in the blood. You''ve either got it or you don't'."
