Canadian Boy Magazine Vol.1, No.1

Hey campers, real talk for a second.

That feeling of peace when you’re out in the wild is everything. But true peace of mind comes from knowing you’re prepared for whatever nature throws your way.

After spending over 35 years camping in 49 states and a good chunk of Canada, I’ve seen it all. I want you to have amazing, memorable adventures for all the right reasons. That’s why I put together a no-nonsense guide on how to stay safe out there.

It’s not about being scared; it’s about being smart so you can focus on the good stuff.

In the guide, I cover the essentials like:
