About Me

Hi, I'm Chad —
Your Guide to BC's Wild

I'm a Vancouver-based outdoor guide who has spent the last 10 years exploring every corner of British Columbia's backcountry. What started as a personal obsession with finding the most remote lakes and hidden viewpoints turned into a mission to share these places with people who want something more than a tourist trail.

I keep groups small (maximum 3 people), so every trip is personal, flexible, and genuinely fun. I handle the planning, transportation, route, and safety gear. Whether it's your first hike or your fiftieth, all you need to bring is yourself.
