TRAPPING, HUNTING, FISHING AND EXPLORING IN THE NORTHERN BUSH.

A windstorm hit northern BC on November 6th. Trees came down every hundred yards on the drive back, one landed on our water tank, and both boat ropes snapped.

The full film of my first season guiding at a remote lodge on Haida Gwaii: orcas under the net, humpbacks, sea lions stealing fish, and 114 days on the water.

Since I got home from Haida Gwaii, people keep asking what it was really like and how I ended up guiding. Wild Ways Podcast S2E02 answers those questions.

A saying I came up with as a fishing guide that I've carried home into hunting and trapping season: have your boat ready to fish, and everything else comes after that.

While I was away guiding for 114 days, someone set up camp in the back corner of our property in northern BC. I went back in to see if he'd returned.

I left home in May to guide at one of Canada's premier fishing lodges off the northern tip of Haida Gwaii. Here's what a full season taught me about discipline, energy, and finishing what you start.
