Join us in the Readings Gallery to celebrate debut author Stephan Kesting's new book, Perseverance: Life and Death in the Subarctic.
About this Event

Perseverance is the nail-biting account of Stephan Kesting's journey from near-death to a raw embrace of adventure and life in the remote Canadian Arctic. Inspirational, vulnerable and honest, Kesting shares the lessons he learned in the wilderness about holding onto hope in the darkest moments and finding the strength to overcome any obstacle.

Stephan Kesting is an adventurer, jiu-jitsu practitioner, and firefighter.

Stephan has criss-crossed the North for 40 years, often doing solo trips into the Arctic. He has also worked as a canoe and raft guide, leading groups through the remote wilderness. As a firefighter he has received the National Medal of Bravery for rushing into a burning warehouse to save two trapped colleagues.

He is very excited to share his latest book, Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic with the world. You can find him online on YouTube, Instagram, BlueSky, or his website, essentialwilderness.com.
