What is this episode about
Ray Mears embarks on a harrowing journey into the awe-inspiring wilderness of Canada.
David Thompson, a British national, was instrumental in altering Canada’s appearance. Nearly four million square miles of North America were mapped by him. Even by today’s standards, this is a remarkable achievement; in the nineteenth century, it was mind-boggling.
In doing so, Thompson bolstered Canada’s standing and helped define its borders in a way that preserved the country’s autonomy relative to the United States.
As he follows in Thompson’s footsteps, Ray travels from the East Coast to the West Coast via the Rocky Mountains. He uses contemporary bushcraft expertise and familiarity with the area to investigate Thompson’s cartographic practises.
