I Needed This More Than I Realized

After weeks in the city, I needed out. This video is about getting back into the bush, lighting a fire, slowing things down, and resetting. I head out for a quiet day in the woods with coffee, an open fire, and moose steak; exactly what I needed after a long stretch away from nature.

Along the way, I show how I travel prepared after past close calls, including getting stuck in winter conditions and breaking down in remote areas with no cell service. I walk through my emergency gear, vehicle setup, and lessons learned from a serious breakdown during a cross-Canada winter drive. This isn’t just a relaxing day in the bush; it’s about preparedness, mindset, and why getting outside matters.
