Syd grew up in a world of farming, hunting, trapping and logging. While she felt drawn to these activities, her traditionally-minded family viewed them as “man’s work” and she wasn’t encouraged to follow her heart into the wild. Twenty years later, Syd has carved out a rich life in the Yukon and she’s done it on her own terms. An avid outdoors person, she is recognized as one of the most successful hunters in the Yukon, gender be damned. Then she met Jurgen, an old trapper who would change the course of her life. In Syd, Jurg saw something he just couldn’t shake, and someone in which he could entrust eight decades of wisdom, along with the trapline on which to apply it. This is the story of an unusual apprenticeship between an old timer and a young woman, and a disappearing way of life, changing hands.
