The Points Unknown adventure trips are all educationally based. You won't get a dog sled ride, you'll learn how to mush a small team of our sled dogs. You won't be led through the wilderness by a guide, you'll learn how to do your own navigation with a map and compass. The wilderness survival skills you learn will help build self-confidence and enhance your future experiences, be it on a trek into the wilderness, on a leisurely hike around one of your local parks or in the adventures of your every day life. Our adventures are for those who want to be actively engaged with a more simple life in the woods; for those who want to be involved in every aspect of the adventure offered. |

"Linda is an excellent instructor for beginning women! She is passionate about dog mushing, and educating women! Her love for her dogs shows and is so important given these women want to see compassion for animals. All the assistants were exceptional as well; caring, courteous and willing to do whatever is needed to make sure everyone is safe." Linda Bylander Director of BOW (DNR's Becoming an Outdoors Woman of MN) "Being on this Points Unknown adventure touched my soul. Everything I love and seek in life was here: incredible dogs, passionate people, the beautiful, peaceful north woods, good company, learning something new and amazingly delicious food." Jenny Minton Stone Lake, WI Regarding a recent advanced adventure where those participants had attended a previous adventure: "I just wanted to thank you for giving us such an amazing weekend!...."
