WAPITI LAKE TOUR - Aug. 16-19, 2024 - Join us for a 4-day backpacking tour into Wapiti Lake & surrounding area. This is a great hike for all to explore Tumbler Ridge backcountry at its finest. The trail is well-established, filled with fresh berries, and lush forest, and has many view points along the way. We can't wait to see you on the trails this year! If you’re looking for a backpacking vacation, we highly recommend this one! I've been wanting to go back to the Wapiti trail for some time now and can't wait to hit the trail this year with you all. We will have our backpacking bag tutorial video out soon for you to watch to help you get ready for all those outdoor goals you have planned for the year. #backpacking #wapitilake #bcparks
Have you ever had to stop a trip? Or walk anyone back? Yes, I can't tell you what's going to happen on a trip. For instance, this video is me leaving after getting an Inreach message from Jeremy saying a helicopter is coming to get you, your mom is going for emergency brain surgery tomorrow. From 6 AM on the Wokkpash trail to 5 PM in Vancouver. Left on day 4 of a 9-day trip. I've had to walk a few people out, yes. From heat exhaustion to an infected spider bite, we have seen some things just to name a few. I've had a client scratch their eye and the fastest way to continue a trip was to hire a private helicopter. The best thing about going with a guide is we are prepared for anything, and I mean anything. Our first aid kit is packed, learning from each experience. This is what we are trained for. It's all fun and games on the trail until it's not. I've seen people come by our camp, soaked, dealt with a bear all night, crossed a river where he shouldn't have, in survival mode to be honest with you. Cold and soaked. A warm fire, some heat warmers and a hot beverage changed that immediately for him. This post isn't meant to scare you. But be safe out there this season. Be prepared. Carry the 10 essentials with you, because when the time comes you'll wish you did. Tell someone where you're going for the day, leave a trip plan. These little things that take minutes of your time to prepare for, will indeed save your life. What are the 10 essentials? 1. Navigation - phones die remember that. 2. Sun Protection - heat stroke and exhaustion are not fun. 3. Light - a flashlight on your phone isn't enough. 4. First Aid - Always check your first aid kit. Epi-Pen is a must. 5. Shelter - Emergency blanket can go along ways! 6. Repair Kit and Tools - A leatherman is your best friend. 7. Fire - Always carry fire starter. Rain sucks sometimes. 8. Nutrition - Snacks and more snacks. 9. Hydration - A little lifestraw goes along ways. 10. Extra Layers - Dry socks and an extra coat can c
The winter solstice. - A night that we were supposed to be hitting the ski trails, the event got postponed due to the lack of snow here in FSJ. Who knew we would have no snow this year around this time.
Not the way I wanted to end the year, but with an outdoor company you never know what the weather is going to be and unfortunately can't control. What we can control is turning darkness into light.
This holiday season the most common answer I'm getting with are you excited for Christmas... Is no. It seems heavy to quite a few people. I hope most find the light in these dark days. To embrace the longer nights ahead. We survived this far and going into the New Year with another round of faith and being hopeful for a year for our bodies to carry us to the light for another lap around the sun.
As I right this I just looked up and seen 1:11, the end of the year marks 12/31/23. There are signs every where. I've been taking them as much as I can. There is light coming, and I'm excited for it to fill mine and your space with joy and happiness and most of all adventure.
Tonight, I celebrate that I've made it through another year of light to dark, and now I'm excited to go from dark to light. 🤍❄️

The mornings are getting colder, the layers are getting packed, and those stars are making an appearance from shorter days. 🤍 - keep watching our page and website for adventures announced in BC, Canada! #getoutside #exploremore #explorebc

We have a walking boy on our hands. A whole new level of busy!
When I was gone this past weekend he started taking some steps. He has for awhile now but would never commit and just go! Now this week he really is on the move. A hard part of my job will always be the chance of missing some moments. When I'm gone, I'm gone unfortunately. We have contact by inreach but that's it and that's if your message isn't stuck in a rain cloud. That whole weekend I was like I bet you he takes off walking... And he sure did. 🤍
This past weekend he was with his dad and boy did they have a great time. I thank god everyday for Jeremy and his family to share this life with. Without them these trips wouldn't be possible and that's a fact, this job takes a tribe on and off the trail.
A huge moment at our house this past weekend of our cute little man who is growing way too fast!!

Liard River Hot Springs
~
Follow a wooden boardwalk path through a warm-water swamp and boreal forest to soak in Canada’s second largest hot springs. Originally known as Tropical Valley for its lush terrain, Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park in British Columbia encompasses about eight pools, one of which is open to bathers. The thermal waters simmer between 108° and 126°F in the rustic public pool, making the park a popular rest stop for drivers on the nearby Alaska Highway. "The hot springs draw people from all over the world," says Belinda Clark, the park’s manager. "Visitors often come for a day the first time and return the next year for an entire week because they enjoyed it so much." - National Geographic
.
Did you know the springs is in the top 5 things to do in BC and why people travel across the world? I’m feeling extremely grateful I got to grow up with the best swimming hole in my backyard. I’m excited I get to take my little man for a dip and enjoy it with him now too!
Landing at our final destination by float plane with a shower and 3 course meal waiting is the cherry on top of an amazing trip!
Sliding into the week like...
My beautiful client wrote some really precious words. I do everything in my power to help each client physically get to their goals, but most importantly help change their mindset that they are more than capable of achieving anything they set their mind to. We climb mountains together and make a support system that drives us to be better everyday. ❤️ Rose Ivy Zerr Thank you for making my night one to remember!
Happy Easter everyone!

The Muskwa Kechika is a vast wilderness area comprised of 6.4 million hectares filled with immense boreal forests, unnamed mountain peaks and fast-moving rivers, all of which extend for hundreds of kilometres in any direction. Join us as us Wild Women head deep into the heart of the wilds on a 10 backpacking trip.
The trip will begin at the McDonald Valley Trailhead at kilometre 632 of the Alaska Highway in Stone Mountain Provincial Park and will take us through approximately 35 kilometres of wilderness to our final destination, Wokkpash Lake. Once we arrive at Wokkpash Lake, a couple of days will be enjoyed for fishing and exploring this remote wilderness lake. Ending the trip, we will be shuttled out via float plane from Wokkpash Lake into Muncho Lake. This flight through this remote part of the Rockies is a trip in itself. Once we arrive at the lake, canoe rentals will be available with a one night stay at the world-famous Muncho Lake Lodge. Dinner and breakfast will also be included in our night stay.
This trip will test you, challenge you and more importantly change you. Becoming completely self-sufficient, relying on nothing but our own legs and what we can carry on our backs, us women will complete a trek that instills a new sense of outlook on what we are capable of. As such, a trip like this is taken very seriously by Northern Rockies Fitness and safety is of the utmost importance. Due to the nature of the trip, distance to cover any type of terrain, experience in hiking would be an assetfor the trip.
A lengthy distance (approximately 50 kilometres) will be covered on foot and will require participants to carry a
