Jesse is a favourite member of the Challenge family, having won several times at 300/200 mile distances with us. Known for his dog care excellence, Jesse is also a great role model for his family, and he describes his interests as 'family time, mushing, and back scratches from my wife'

Its a great prize.
Our winner last year said’ I was lucky enough to win this exact draw last winter and I was so happy to get it!
This axe now travels in my dog sled all winter and was most recently taken out on my fall moose hunts. I gave the survival gear to my son to add to his personal kit’ 😊👏

The Gränsfors Forest Axe is a more professional axe, ideal for felling larger tress and for limbing a felled tree. The long handle gives more power to the cut.

Hi Jordan, so sorry to read you are undergoing chemo. How are you doing? Hope you are responding well to your treatment and have found some cool tank tops.

TBH I have not had much time to actively work on the US merch challenge. It IS on my ‘get it done’ list!
Sending healing wishes.🙏

Thanks Karen, that's so kind. It has taken a while to get to this point, and I am so frustrated to have to start over. But I am also so cross with the shipping issues too....... ;) Onwards and upwards.
