I stumbled onto your thread... Thank you for sharing and being so open in your post. To feel pain for someone you have never met is a bit difficult to convey. But, I get the feeling you and he were very close. I am truly sorry for your loss and wish you all the best. In one of my trips I hope to make it up your way and explore the Canadian Territories, it is beautiful country.

It's that time of year once again and as we prep to embark on another awesome journey for 2017, I thought I would take a few moments to share a couple words. It's been a crazy year altogether with my father's unexpected passing in January. A shame but ultimately the catalyst that tipped the scales, and made the decision for my wife and I to quit our corporate jobs in Calgary AB and move to Nelson BC. Admittedly we haven't had much time to take in the scenery with the move, the adjusting to life without Dad, all while learning the ropes in our new town with our new jobs. If there is any certainty, it is that I am utterly and entirely excited for COLOSSAL 2017 more than any year thus far. The summer has been insane with wildfires, arguably the worst in 25 years, and even going as far to completely shut down the backcountry to the public around our little town in the Kootenays. The big dreams of 4x4'ing and exploring all summer have been indefinitely shut down due to Mother Nature's dominant grasp on our reality. I'll post some more details once we air the "official write-up" but this years trip has been planned a total of 3 times. The elements have been battling us for the last two months and now the time has arrived for all the hard work and planning to finally come together in my personal favorite wheeling trip of the year.
That's all for now... stay tuned for the write-up and cinematic experience to follow.A little stoked from the last couple years:

Thanks for watching over the years. Your not that far away... Colossal 2018?!
If you've got an email group or anything for it send me a PM. Would be interested in potentially joining.
Might light a fire to actually get some of the work I need to do on my runner done.
