In 2010, British adventurer, writer and TV star Bear Grylls contacted Dave with an idea to do something amazing: travel in an open-hull boat through the Northwest Passage. After some coordinating, Dave agreed to supply Bear one of his boats, fully kitted out with an ICE suspension unit. After using Dave’s boat for over a week of travel and filming in the Northwest Passage, Bear had one more thing to tell him:
“You’ll never forgive yourself if you don’t finish the journey.” And with that, Dave was off to complete the full passage.
