In 2021, the musician left Tofino, B.C., walking to Cape Spear in Newfoundland with his Alaskan Husky dog, Luna.

Yellowlees, from Scotland, raised $80,000 for a 香蕉视频直播楾rees for Life香蕉视频直播� charity in Scotland and raised attention to the effects of climate change in his home country.

The journey wore through five pairs of boots and two kilts and Yellowlees says they faced all types of weather conditions during the nine-month trip.

香蕉视频直播淲e were caught in snowstorms as we crossed the Rockies, walking over the Paulson pass and the snow is coming in sideways,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淲hen you are actually in that situation and the wind香蕉视频直播檚 blowing, the rain香蕉视频直播檚 falling down, the snow香蕉视频直播檚 coming sideways, it actually becomes exhilarating.香蕉视频直播�

The musician is retracing his steps from the 2021 journey this summer in part, as a musical project.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a way for us to relive the journey of last year and reconnect with all the friends that we香蕉视频直播檝e made throughout Canada,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淭his is very much a musical project, so we香蕉视频直播檙e going try and collaborate with as many musicians throughout Canada as we can and raise awareness around what香蕉视频直播檚 going on in Canada, around climate change.香蕉视频直播�

But really the message for the album is to join the fight, is to stand up. One of the songs we香蕉视频直播檙e writing is 香蕉视频直播榃e香蕉视频直播檝e gotta wake up and start a Revolution香蕉视频直播�. I think that香蕉视频直播檚 really the message we have to do. This is such an important cause.香蕉视频直播�
