Malamute Expedition Update

Here is the Malamute expedition update. Because of 11 days of extreme cold temps the rivers have broken loose with deep overflow. This has forced us to reroute.

The team traveled every day during one of the most severe cold snaps I’ve seen in a while. Temps ranged from -45F to -72F wind-chill.

The dogs maintained their original fat levels during the cold snap while consuming on average 1.72lb dry kibble per dog a day 100lb+ dogs ate less than 80lb dogs. The Malamute’s low metabolism and ability to cope with extreme cold is incredible. Myself, I consumed more than 10,000 calories a day and still lose weight.
