“A black and cold Yukon night. The thermometer reads -40°C and would go even lower if the flask would let it. I am physically and mentally at the bottom. Everywhere I look there are wolf tracks. I hear them howl, and when I accidentally shine my flashlight into the forest, I see lots of glowing eyes staring at me. They say they only attack weak individuals. But I'm an individual and at the moment I'm weak as hell. Adding to this condition are hallucinations –? visual first. I see strange animals, things and shapes. Then also auditory –? the jingling of a tram or the buzzing of bees. I have to distinguish between what is happening in my head and what is happening in reality. I've got the fun tonight.” This is how athlete and adventurer Jan Venca Francke describes one of the intense moments on his journeys for extreme adventure. In the book you will find his current collection of unconventional and often chilling experiences. Maybe you'll get cold, your feet hurt, and you'll start hallucinating as you read. But you will definitely laugh. You will find out how many thousands of flies you need to swallow to cycle across Australia. What a honeymoon night in a Yukon sleeping bag looks like at -52°C. How many hours are in a minute in Alaska or how muddy and wet is the "queen's spine".
