Terre d’expéditions

Before setting out, Christine and Guillaume first learn from the First Nations and Inuit people who know the land intimately. These mentors pass on the knowledge and skills needed to carry out their expeditions surviving entirely on their own! These include identifying medicinal plants, hunting and fishing, preparing meals from what the land provides, reading a river, building a fire and shelter, navigating, and even repairing a canoe.

Then they are left to their own devices. Without a guide or film crew, and carrying only a few essentials - such as dried food provided by community members — they must put what they have learned to the test. They traverse remote wilderness by canoe, foot, snowshoes, dog sled, or snowmobile. The challenge is immense: days of strenuous effort, vast distances to cover, unpredictable weather, and a wild landscape where any unforeseen event could disrupt their progress. Will they succeed in completing their mission? They document every stage of their journey themselves, using a immersive, vlog-style approach inspired by expedition films of high production value. As the seasons and landscapes shift, each expedition becomes a true test of endurance, ingenuity, and adaptability. To reach their destination, Christine and Guillaume must learn to travel differently, drawing on the knowledge of those who have traversed these lands for generations. The adventure also becomes a unique opportunity to connect with the cultures, histories, and relationships to the land that are unique to each community.
