Through stunning visuals and heartfelt narratives, the film reveals how these outfitters are not just adventurers but guardians of Alberta’s ecological heritage. From monitoring wildlife populations to practicing sustainable land use, their work goes beyond guiding clients through remote landscapes. It’s a commitment to preserving the delicate balance of nature.
The documentary also explores the evolving challenges faced by the industry—regulatory shifts, and the need to engage younger generations in the traditions of the past. Through mentorship, a new generation is learning that outfitting is more than a job; it’s a way of life built on respect for the land and all its creatures.
