This is probably completely inappropriate for this forum, and I apologize if it is. Mods are more than welcome to pull this thread with no hard feelings. Having said that:

I wanted to let everyone know that I am applying for the Fjallraven Polar next year. For those unfamiliar with Fjallraven, they are an outdoor clothing and equipment company from Sweden. The "Polar" is a tour of the Arctic Circle on dog sled. They take inexerienced, "average" people, outfit them for the environment and put them to the test driving a team of sled dogs and surviving in the arctic.

I want to go. I don't want a lot of things, my life is pretty great and I am quite content. But this trip is calling out to me and I have to do this, to test myself mentally and physicaly and I figured this forum was the right audience for my plea. Check out my video, and if you feel inspired, vote.

And if you're feeling reeeeally generous, please share my video.

Thanks guys.
