High and Wild cameraman
and narrator, Don Hobart. |
An exciting, fast-moving, true outdoor adventure
series. Don Hobart captures the majestic beauty of the great
Northwest in magnificent color as he takes viewers from the cruel struggle
of daily life in the Arctic to a rattlesnake hunt in the desert; from the
lonely flight of an Alaskan bush pilot to the topsy-turvy slapstick of a
white water race on the MacKenzie River.
Want to go skin diving for gold? See High
and WIld. Want to hunt big game with bow and arrow? See High
and Wild. Want to visit a thousand-year-old village of 350
Eskimos and 600 dogs? By all means, see High and Wild, the
show Oregonian columnist Francis Murphy described as "far
above average travel pictures."
Don Hobart, producer of High and Wild, is an
experienced sportsman and master photographer. Born in the rugged
Hell's Canyon country of Washington, he has spent years hunting, camping
and exploring the wild country he now films so successfully.
The colorful beauty of the Northwest, with a
skillful blend of danger, suspense, wildlife and human interest makes High
and Wild an outdoor show with wide appeal to outdoor and indoor
viewers!
