The Great Slave Lake is North America’s Deepest Lake, as well as the 10th Largest Lake in the World! It’s also located in the Northwest Territories, Canada’s coldest, most wild and remote wildernesses, and only around 20 fisherman actually work the lake yearround!

Why? Because being a Commercial Fisherman in Northern Canada, where the lakes stay frozen for 8 to 9 months a year and temperatures often dip below -40°F, is one of the most dangerous and difficult jobs on the planet!

Why has Shawn Buckley, who is the definition of independence & self-sufficiency, surviving in one of the harshest natural environments in the world, chosen to earn his livelihood from one of the Most Dangerous Jobs on Earth? Join me on this epic look into a unique Arctic lifestyle to find out!
