Since we started organizing forays into the most beautiful backcountry locations in the Kawarthas and the near north, we’ve prided ourselves on creating well-rounded and rugged experiences designed to animate our region’s natural and cultural heritage.  Not only are we expert wilderness guides with the chops and certs to prove it, but we’ve also accomplished this through perfecting a menu of gourmet backcountry cuisine that includes such ancient recipes as three-sisters stew and varieties of bushcraft bread like bannock and frybread.

Furthermore, we share the traditional skills and natural interpretation we’ve gleaned from our own mentors, to enrich the experiences of visitors to the Land.  Exploring wild areas is valuable and pleasant in and of itself, but visitors to the Land also explore their own abilities, and come away more skilled, knowledgable and interesting folks, or we haven’t done our job!
