We hang out with a young First Nation's boy who farms wild rice in central Saskatchewan. This is one of the biggest production areas for wild rice in North America, with around 250 producers. The rice is harvested by an interesting propeller driven airboat, and we climb aboard. Then we head to Prince Albert National Park of Canada and learn about forest fires and some positive affects they can have. We also visit with King Trapper, canoe racer, dog musher, lumberjack and all-around survivalist Franklin Carriere. In Jay's Gee! Ology he demonstrates how forest fires contribute to air pollution.
