This great video from Sportsmen for the Boundary Waters follows Iraq War Veteran Erik Packard into the Boundary Waters for his first grouse hunt. When Erik returned from duty, he suffered from PTSD. After struggling for years, Erik experienced the healing powers of wilderness during a Voyageur Outward Bound School trip in the Boundary Waters. Erik is the creator of the Save the BWCA Veterans Group and wants to use his story to help inspire others to discover the healing power of nature and to speak up to protect the Boundary Waters from proposed sufide-ore copper mining.
