PLANNING YOUR TRIP:
Since
you will be away several days of traveling from inhabited areas for
extended periods of time we strongly suggest you plan your trip well in
advance. If you have no or very little experience traveling and living
in remote areas we would like to suggest one of the guided adventures
of Nature Tours of Yukon.
Plan carefully and take enough food on
your trip. On most rivers there is no place to restock your larder once
you have started your trip. At the same time choose your equipment
carefully.
Makes sure you gather all the information about the
laws of Yukon Territory and observe all of these laws. If you plan to
fish or hunt, but also regarding the environment there are laws you
must obey at all times. You will receive the most important regulations
when you sign up with us.
Please inquire about the difficulty of
the river you have selected for your adventure. Use good judgment
concerning your paddling skills, your wilderness experience and
knowledge of remote Yukon rivers in remote areas. We assume
no
responsibility whatsoever and refuse any liability for damages to the
equipment, loss of equipment, injuries or even worse! You are solely
responsible for all your actions when using rented equipment from
Nature Tours of Yukon.
