Ep 84 With Jack From Silent Run Adventures

Matthew Holthaus & Max Cowger

Today (28:48) Matt sits down with Jack Christopher, the visionary behind Silent Run Adventures in Monticello, Minnesota. Jack shares how he made the bold leap from a desk job to founding a thriving dog-sledding business built around 26–35 Siberian huskies, many rescued, and explains why the team’s well‑being always comes first. As we trail along the frozen lakes near his former horse ranch, Jack brings listeners into the world of mushing—explaining commands, gear, the trail layout, and what makes these dogs tick—while reflecting on personal stories, adventurous close calls, and how skijoring first lit the spark that turned into a year‑round outdoor business You'll also hear how visitors get hands-on with the huskies, learn sled‑driving basics, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the kennel in action, making this a perfect listen for anyone curious about life behind the sled or seeking winter adventure just an hour outside the Twin Cities.
