Bruce Mitford and Beth Hunt have lived, worked and raised a family on a remote trap line in the Central Yukon for more than twenty years. Caring for 15 sled dogs and using them as the main source of travel for nearly six months of the year is a big part of the life on their wilderness homestead.

Since 1979 Bruce has been working his trap line by dog team each winter, creating a system of trails with comfortable cabins spaced at 12 km intervals. Each location is unique reflecting the different moods of the country.

Bruce has also been a hunters' guide, carpenter, and geologist's assistant, all jobs which have given him ample experience in bush living.

Beth's life involves all aspects of bush living from hunting, trapping and berry picking to teaching her two daughters' school lessons. Beth is literally the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. An avid gardener in the summer and an enthusiastic dog musher in the winter, Beth is a great cook too. Both Bruce and Beth have their First Aid and CPR certificate.
