The Arctic Brotherhood is built upon a foundation of guiding principles & covenants, handed down over generations:
-
Our mission is to explore spectacular backcountry destinations as a fellowship of men.
-
Our adventures have an ascetic element. To enhance the experience of self-realization, these trips are designed to require hard physical effort within a framework of austerity.
-
We travel on a “bootstring” budget, and strive to avoid luxuries.
-
There is no complaining. We go for the satisfaction of the entire experience, which if done right, will certainly include some suffering. These are challenging outdoor odysseys that come with risk, and there are no guarantees.
-
No one shall interfere with our inalienable rights to enjoy our backcountry sacraments of strong coffee, fine cigars and well-aged whisky.
-
Our adventures are for seasoned fellows who champion this Code and the way of the Brotherhood.
