Description : Part of a series of photographs entitled "Wilderness Challenge" named after a rehabilitation program for delinquent youths run by the Ranch Ehrlo Society based in Regina. Trained social workers and counsellors experienced in outdoor survival lived with the boys in a northern Saskatchewan wilderness camp setting to teach them socially acceptable behaviour through group living. The artist worked as a counsellor from 28 April 1976 to 23 June 1978, and with his camera recorded the experiences which he shared with the boys.

Wall label for 1978 exhibition: I'm the best log peeler. I don't like how my face looks in this picture. We have an outhouse. There's an outhouse in town where we buy hamburgers and ice cream but even if we ask we can't get ice cream from our outhouse.
