It reallyis a
beautiful, beautifulprogram . Thank you.
Must bevery proud . Tell us a
little about how
you found all of these
incrediblespots. Like I said, I said
I'm from the Northwoods .But I said
to you off camera, there were
placesyou've shown us that
I'venever seen. And
like I said ,I've spent a
lot of time exploring in the
Northwoods.How did you go about
one,locating them and thendetermining
which ones to to use because
there's somany beautiful places.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
I thinkwe have about 35 locations
in the film altogether, and it's a
very physicallydemanding
show to kind ofget all
the way in. We , wehike into
pretty remoteplaces , but before we
hitthe ground, we have to talkto a lot
of people who know more than us
about allthese spaces .
So we have conversations with folks at
the DNR, The Nature
Conservancy, County
ParkRangers. They'll tell us,you
know, sort of thesehidden off
the beaten track locations,
and then we kind of work backwards also
from,you know, if you live in
Wisconsin, you know, we have four seasons. So
wekind of want to figure outwhat
looks good when. And you know what's kind
ofspecial. Maybe people don'tknow. They can
go here inthe winter. Erin mentioned
the short tailed weasel .You know, we
have to be we had the DNR person
had tosay, turn around quick.There's
a weasel. It's white.
So yeah, we just have to listen to
theexperts. That's amazing.

generations to come. Thank you.
>> So far we have
sixtowards our goal of
25. Won't you show
your supportfor this kind of
programing? I've got a couple
morequestions for you . Emily.
Tell us a little about the
experience of filming. Ididn't
even think. Obviously you have to
hikeinto the but you
don'tthink of it when you're
watching the program . Whatother
things happen? Do you have some favorite moments
?Favorite experiences?>> Yes.
Yeah. I'm from Madison,
Wisconsin, and I hadn't, you know
, I've goneto the Northwoods as a kid
,but I hadn't encountered a
bog before. I didn't,
youknow, that's on me.
I canown that . But when I
finally explored a bog, I,
I have to say that
was oneof the more just sort of
. Ihad no idea . Moments in my
life, like, you bouncearound, you're
on afloating plant mat.
>> And you have to becareful where
you. Stepbecause you could breakthrough. Yeah
, it's anexperience. If you have notplayed
on a bog. I highlyrecommend it
. What else did you do that
really sticksout in your mind?
>> I guess I would
sayanother one of the joys isactually after we wrap
ped production, we've
gotten feedback from
viewers andthere
have been some touching, a number
oftouching comments about people who cannot, for
whatever reason, go out,
maybe explore, or even
justgo out into nature at all
.They took the time to write
us about that, and kind ofhow
this programing allowedthem to feel a sense
of exploration. And I have
tosay, that was kind of a
very touching, you know,
post-production joy that wegot to experience
as agroup. I think one of
thethings I really love aboutthis program
is thatfeeling you get,
you dofeel like you are hiking
through the woods. You getthat feeling
of isolation.And the
beauty of the Northwoods is there are
sofew places like that leftwhere
you can literally just
wander without seeingpeople
just being a part of
nature. And you did such an
incredible job of capturingit.
If you appreciate
thisprogram, now is
the time toshow your support. We
stillhave plenty of room for you
for that one on one match
.Please let's not leave anyof
that money on the table.
We really can't afford to.Not right
now. Show yoursupport.
1-800-236-3636. >> Boy,
