In the fall of 1994, I was living in a remote cabin in northern Minnesota and working odd jobs. I stopped in a local lodge looking for work and was hired as a dog musher on the spot. At the time, I had never even seen a sled dog let alone driven an entire team of them. I dropped everything I was doing, drove 10 hours back to my parent’s home and grabbed as many base layers as I could find. For good measure, I rented the Disney movie Iron Will to glean a few pointers before my job started. This and more of my thoughts on dog sledding from Mountain Safety Researchs Summit Register blog. thesummitregister/eric-larsen-dog-sledding-team-dynamic-running-best-friends/
