She's pioneered sea kayaking routes in Greenland, hiked remote Arctic wilderness and paddled almost every river Black Feather has run. Easygoing, yet committed to excellence, Wendy's energy and enthusiasm for sharing her love of the wild is contagious.

Mark Scriver is one of the most respected and accomplished paddlers in the world. He has taught whitewater canoeing, sea kayaking and other paddling and outdoor skills, and has been leading commercial trips for Black Feather since 1983. More recently, Mark co-authored Canoe Camping: An Essential Guide, co-authored Thrill of the Paddle - an instructional whitewater canoeing book.

Joanna Baker has a passion for playing and cooking in the outdoors. Her quest for adventure has led her on many journeys, both professionally as a former instructor for the Canadian Outward Bound School, and personally as an avid traveler. Not satisfied with the standard canoe trip menu, she strives to add a twist of creativity to her meal planning. Joanna contributed recipes, tips and tricks for this book in hopes of inspiring others to get creative too!
