15 | Ian Borowski - Bus 142 & Life in Alaska
Listen now
Description
Ian Borowski is an adventure filmmaker based out of Fairbanks, Alaska. Ian was quite possibly the last person to ever visit Bus 142 from the story of Christopher McCandless, made famous in the movie Into The Wild, and he documented his entire journey to get there. We discuss this, along with other equally impressive feats Ian has accomplished ranging from swimming in the Arctic Ocean, ice skating through glaciers, building hot tubs on top of mountains, and life in general in Alaska.
