      <image:title>Where We Work - Where do we work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>To put it simply, we work in wild places - designing, building and operating outdoor experiences that serve the public and the natural environment. We deliver solutions to logistical puzzles that builders, homeowners, natural land managers, foresters, project managers, First Nations groups, ecotourism ventures and government procurement officers face in off-grid, wilderness locations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - 43.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Numbers are rarely arbitrary, and 43 is no exception. This is the length of the North Coast Trail, where owners Ben and Shaun met whilst designing and clearing the rugged track that would become one of BC’s most challenging backpacking routes. While working on the trail, they realized they shared more than a tent pad, a Jetboil and a chainsaw. They shared a vision for a company specializing in backcountry building and operations, in the most remote, rugged and hard to access corners of BC.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - Fast forward 15 years.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are still no strangers to the wilderness and continue to work where you play. We have two offices on Vancouver Island and a growing team of over 20 dedicated staff. We’ve earned our reputation as a recognised industry leader in backcountry facility design and construction. The kicker? We compliment it with over a decade experience in practical park operations. No project is too big and no detail is too small. We thrive in uncertain conditions, and have carved our niche by delivering reliable solutions that stand the test of time, even in the most adverse conditions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Design - Want to build something in a remote, wilderness setting? We can help you design it.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our designs are specifically suited to wilderness areas. We design robust, low maintenance, aesthetically pleasing and cost effective facilities that are able to be prefabricated. This is our specialty.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Design - Because we also operate wilderness ecotourism facilities, we understand which designs perform well in backcountry environments. All of our designs focus on function and constructibility; however, they also consider your long-term operational and maintenance needs.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have seen many projects where owners goes through a lengthy and expensive design process only to find out that it is not feasible to construct in their backcountry location. We get it right the first time. If you are thinking of building in remote, difficult terrain, give us a call to discuss design options suited to your project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Design - Want to build something in a remote, wilderness setting? We can help you design it.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our designs are specifically suited to wilderness areas. We design robust, low maintenance, aesthetically pleasing and cost effective facilities that are able to be prefabricated. This is our specialty.</image:caption>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee310c9608414395d8d8ce9/1593578700306-9JHEIDF5QQREQ9WTL1VW/design-image-03_43K-Wilderness-Solutions.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Design - Because we also operate wilderness ecotourism facilities, we understand which designs perform well in backcountry environments. All of our designs focus on function and constructibility; however, they also consider your long-term operational and maintenance needs.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have seen many projects where owners go through a lengthy and expensive design process only to find out that it is not feasible to construct in their backcountry location. We get it right the first time. If you are thinking of building in remote, difficult terrain, give us a call to discuss design options suited to your project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Resource Assessments - We perform:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Resource assessments - We undertake site and landscape level reconnaissance to report on the potential for recreation or operational use. We can also report on other criteria and values as required and prepare detailed maps with the results. Feasibility assessments - Before you get started on your project, we look at its feasibility. Are there any showstoppers? Steep slopes? Eroding river banks? Archaeological remains? Sensitive environmental areas? Possible permitting issues? We identify potential project pain points before they become a problem. Inventories - We identify the assets you currently have on your property. Facility Condition Assessments - We look at the condition of your assets and determine your capital project priorities over the coming 3-5 years. Safety and Liability - We inspect your facilities and trails to determine if they are providing a safe user experience.  Engineer inspections -  We coordinate the inspection of bridges, buildings and steep slopes for condition. Environmental assessments - We coordinate the assessment of fish, wildlife and marine habitat health. We do invasive plant mapping and specialized removal.  Archaeology - We coordinate archeological impact assessments, management plans and guidance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Design - Because we also operate wilderness ecotourism facilities, we understand which designs perform well in backcountry environments. All of our designs focus on function and constructibility; however, they also consider your long-term operational and maintenance needs.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have seen many projects where owners goes through a lengthy and expensive design process only to find out that it is not feasible to construct in their backcountry location. We get it right the first time. If you are thinking of building in remote, difficult terrain, give us a call to discuss design options suited to your project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Resource Assessments - We perform:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Resource assessments - We undertake site and landscape level reconnaissance to report on the potential for recreation or operational use. We can report on other criteria and values as required and prepare detail maps with the results. Feasibility assessments - Before you get started on your project, we look at its feasibility. Are there any showstoppers? Steep slopes? Eroding river banks? Archaeological remains? Sensitive environmental areas? Possible permitting issues? We identify potential project pain points before they become a problem. Inventories - We identify the assets you currently have on your property. Facility Condition Assessments - We look at the condition of your assets and determine your capital project priorities over the coming 3-5 years. Safety and Liability - We inspect your facilities and trails to determine if they are providing a safe user experience.  Engineer inspections - We coordinate the inspection of bridges, buildings and steep slopes for condition. Environmental assessments - We coordinate the assessment of fish, wildlife and marine habitat health. We do invasive plant mapping and specialized removal.  Archaeology - We coordinate archeological impact assessments, management plans and guidance.</image:caption>

Book now, or stop by the Boat Hut to rent on a first-come, first-serve basis. Overnight Rentals We are excited to offer overnight canoe and single kayak rentals in 2025 to those that have experience with multi-day canoeing and kayaking. If you wish to transport the boat to a different launch point, you will need to come prepared with both the knowledge and appropriate equipment to transport the boat on your vehicle. We are currently experiencing a couple of challenges with our booking site for multi-day rentals. To reserve a canoe or kayak overnight please send us an email with your dates and pick up time. The Fine Print Participants 19 and younger require a parent/guardian signature to rent. All paddlers are required to sign a Rental Agreement, Assumption of Risks and Waiver of Liability document prior to renting.

At this time we do not offer pet lifejacket rentals, so you will need to come prepared with your own.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Strathcona 2022 Staff - Strathcona Backcountry Supervisor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Robert Favorite hike in BC: Although I am new to BC, I have been able to check out a few of the awesome trails throughout the province. I have been based mainly in the Kamloops area and spent most of my time hiking around the Lac Du Bois Grassland Protected Area. These trails feature desert like conditions with a beautiful view over the Thompson River! Looking forward to the most this summer: I am looking forward to getting into some remote areas in the park and to explore this beautiful stretch of land. There seems to be so much diversity in the landscape within the park that there will always be something new and unique to explore. Oh, and hopefully pull a fish out of Buttle Lake! Activities you enjoy outdoors: My background is in long distance backpacking, but I also enjoy a good trail run or paddle. Something that encompasses all these activities that I have found a passion for is photography. I bring my camera with me on almost all my adventures to capture, and hopefully inspire others to come and enjoy the great outdoors. Your hiking hack: When I first started hiking and enjoying the backcountry, I suffered through sitting on wet logs, soggy grass, and drenched moss. Today I am happy to report that a small sitting pad is the solution to this problem! They sell purpose-built pads, or you can build your own! They also make a great door mat for the outside of your tent. Simple, cheap, lightweight, and multifunctional, now that it a nice piece of gear.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Name: Marty Favourite hike in BC: So my favorite hike in BC would be the Nootka Island Trail. It was a pretty easy walk and we nailed it with some perfect weather. I would definitely do it again if I had the chance. A close second would have to be the hike to Cream Lake from Bedwell Lake. Simply spectacular.  Most looking forward to this summer: This summer I am looking forward to staying in the ranger cabin on the plateaux. Ive always wanted to stay there since the first time I laid eyes on it in the mid 90's. Also just generally working on improving that section of the park that I have gotten to enjoy so many times will be very gratifying. Activities you enjoy outdoors: Some of my favorite outdoor activities are hiking, snorkeling, gardening, paddle boarding, canoeing, snowboarding and going for walks and runs in forest near our home.  Your hiking hack: An item that has made our hikes better every time despite its weight, has been a 4L box of red wine! It can really give you the extra boost on that long portage, pairs perfectly with a charcuterie lunch and it even doubles as a pillow after a long day of beach walking. Our other fave is Dad's Oatmeal Cookies dipped in Bengal Spice tea and a light crib board and cards.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Strathcona 2022 Staff - Strathcona Backcountry</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Anna Favourite hike in BC: think my favourite hike so far is the West Coast Trail but there’s still so many trails I hope to explore! Most looking forward to this summer: I’m excited to meet lots of cool hikers and see the stars on clear nights! Activities you enjoy outdoors: I love hiking, skiing, swimming, and running. Your hiking hack: I always carry a deck of cards with me in case of rainy evenings in the tent or under a tarp.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Strathcona 2022 Staff - Buttle Lake &amp; Ralph River Area</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Gizz Favourite hike in BC: Being relatively new to the Island (moved here 2 years ago), I still have many hikes/climbs on my “to do list”, but one of my favourites to date would have to be the Juan de Fuca Trail.  The lush vegetation, the views, and camping right by the ocean make for a memorable experience! Most looking forward to this summer: Spending the summer in such a remarkable area, rich with natural beauty and history is very exciting. I’m also looking forward to interacting with park visitors and listening to their experiences and assisting them on the trails whenever I can.  And all the hiking! Outdoor activities that you enjoy: Some of my favourite activities are hiking, scrambling, backpacking, fishing, climbing, and mountaineering. Over the past few years I’ve also been working on my whitewater skills through packrafting trips. Your hiking hack: Chocolate covered espresso beans and baby wipes! The espresso beans give you a much needed boost of energy (any time of day) and greatly improves your mood, especially in nasty weather.  The baby wipes are a great way to freshen-up after a long day on the trails!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Strathcona 2022 Staff - Buttle Lake &amp; Ralph River Area</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Taylor  Favorite hike in BC: It would have to be marble meadows in our very own Strathcona Park! Access by canoe and then a grind up the side of a mountain brings you to a beautiful meadow with mountain views all around you! Although water was scarce on our way up and we decided to go during a heat wave, it was unlike any other hike I have done. Looking forward to most this season: Getting to know the community that spends a plethora of time in the park. I am also very excited to venture into rock climbing and hopefully bag a couple peaks this season. Activities you enjoy outdoors: I enjoy any activity that gets me outside! I love to hike, surf, rock climb, ski, and swim.   Your hiking hack: A little shot of Baileys for your coffee in the morning can go a long way (when not at work of course!). I usually put it in a little reusable bottle and am envied for the simple ingenuity, even though I stole the idea from my mom.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Strathcona 2022 Staff - Buttle Lake &amp; Ralph River Area</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Anya Favorite hike in BC: Every hike I have done in BC has been beautiful for different reasons but if I had to choose one it would be the Heather Trail in Manning Provincial Park during the alpine wildflower bloom! It’s a stunning ridgeline hike with 360 degree views of the surrounding mountaintops.  Looking forward to most this season: Working outdoors, meeting new people and exploring the park. Activities you enjoy outdoors: Backcountry camping, foraging, hiking, cooking over a fire, snorkeling, kayaking or canoeing, bird watching, identifying plants, sketching outdoors. Your hiking hack: I always bring a small sketchbook and some watercolor paints and pens to draw with while I’m out. And if I had to add one more it would be some pre-planned meal from the backcountry cook book called “Dirty Gourmet”  the recipes are so good, I make them even when I'm not camping!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cape Scott Park 2022 Team - Cape Scott Park Backcountry Supervisor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Ben  Favorite hike in BC: My favorite hike is up on the Coquihalla, a little peak call Guanaco. Gruelling 10 km hike with 1500m of incline. Most looking forward to this summer: I'm looking forward to seeing all the wildlife and getting good photos of everything. Outdoor activities you enjoy: When there is snow, I got my skis. When it's sunny pass the rope, or paddle. I'm an all around liver of all activities, but skiing is the top. Your hiking hack: No hacks, just have fun and enjoy the rain. #Wetscoast life</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cape Scott Park 2022 Team - Nels Bight</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Charles Favourite hike in BC: For me, it has been hiking to the base of Mt Robson through Berg Lake and Coleman Glacier. Absolutely mind blowing views of massive glaciers. The North Coast trail in 2021 is a close second with its amazing wildlife and rugged terrain. Looking forward to most this summer: This summer I am looking forward to learning more about the environment of the north coast of the island and sharing some of my backcountry knowledge with new hikers. I am excited to work with others who share a similar passion, towards a common goal of making the park experience for new-comers the absolute best.  Activities you enjoy outdoors: My favourite outdoor activities include hiking in Strathcona park, camping, surfing, and relaxing by Comox Lake.  Your hiking hack: My camping secret is bringing kale every time I go camping and roasting it on the fire. Not much better, and keeps you nice and healthy out there</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cape Scott Park 2022 Team - Nels Bight</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Dale Favourite hike in BC: Has to be the North Coast Trail. The beautiful beaches and more rugged inland hiking keeps the trek interesting from start to finish, and it was much quieter than many of the other hikes on the island. Looking forward to most this summer: I’m really looking forward to meeting and spending time with the rest of the Nels crew and am super excited to spend so much of my summer out on the coast. Outdoor activities you enjoy: I love to ski and spend my winters working seasonally at the mountain. I also love surfing, swimming, camping, and of course hiking!  Your hiking hack: I like to use a pillbox or other container with small compartments to pack some different spices with me when I’m backpacking. It always makes the relatively basic meals you have at camp a little more lively.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cape Scott Park 2022 Team - North Coast Trail</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Kristien Favourite hike in BC: One of my favourite hikes in B.C. is Strathcona’s King’s Peak. Beautiful vistas coupled with challenging terrain make for an excellent weekend adventure, with a breathtaking sunset view. Most looking forward to this summer: I recently picked up bird watching as a hobby, and am really looking forward to attempting to  ID the various birds along the North Coast Trail. Outdoor activities that you enjoy: Everything and anything from canoeing to camping to rock climbing to scuba diving. Not that I’m particularly good at any of them, but I enjoy myself. I especially like throwing on a wetsuit and some goggles and exploring the various aquatic ecosystems found all over Vancouver Island. Your hiking hack: Merlin Bird ID. This little app is absolutely fantastic for identifying all the different birds in whatever area I find myself in. Battery dependant of course, but not nearly as bulky as books, and with a battery bank it isn’t really an issue (books are still more fun, of course).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cape Scott Park 2022 Team - North Coast Trail</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Anwyn  Favorite hike in BC: Coastal, definitely the North Coast Trail. Alpine, I still have too much to explore to say for sure. King’s Peak holds a special place in my heart because it was my first Strathcona experience and everything about it was incredible.   Looking forward to most this summer: Reuniting with familiar faces from last year and making new friends, laughing with hikers in the evenings, the moments of peace and gratitude during post-workday sunsets, and of course the “first-stop-in-civilization-Subway-sandwich” after a long shift!  Activities you enjoy outdoors: Anything backcountry makes my heart happy. I spent the winter indoor bouldering, so I'm looking forward to trying outdoor climbing this summer.  Your hiking hack: A jar of Adam’s crunchy peanut butter and knock-off Crocs. And when the Shushartie bogs get mentally challenging, a game of “this-or-that” with my hiking buddy.</image:caption>
