Adventurer Frank Wolf, 55, and fellow Canadian Alex Kozma completed a 1,200km paddle through the Northwest Territories and Yukon in three weeks, starting at Elliott Lake in the Mackenzie Mountains and ending in Old Crow, following rivers connected to the historical manhunt for Albert Johnson, the 'Mad Trapper of Rat River,' in 1931-32.
