In this episode, we are joined by Danish adventurer, documentarian and speaker Rasmus Krath. Rasmus ventures solo into some of the most dangerous places on the planet armed only with camera and the ability to connect with and gain the trust of the people who live there. His adventures have taken him into active war zones of Afghanistan to meet local warlords and across lawless Somalia to interview pirates. His latest expedition takes him across the most dangerous jungle in the world- The Darien Gap of Central America- where he traveled with human smugglers and migrants to document their journey as they suffered the dangers of the jungle and the criminal gangs praying upon them.

Facing down grizzly bears, charging mountain gorillas and a solo cross country ski crossing of Yellowstone in winter, are just some of the adventures award winning wildlife photographer Tom Murphy shares with us in this episode of Whiskey and a Map.
