Ross has over five years of experience with backcountry canoe tripping and winter hot tent camping.

Along with his wife Elise, he’s traveled thousands of kilometres of freshwater shorelines and rivers, spending about one full month on average out of the year camping in the wilderness.

As avid gear guy, Ross has spent countless hours researching, acquiring, and testing top-of-the-line products on multiple camping trips.

When he’s not working his day job as the owner of a kitchen cabinetry business, he’s looking at one (or multiple) maps from his large Ontario backcountry collection, planning new trip ideas and building routes.

Ross is also an amateur wildlife and nature photographer and videographer.

He has completed a whitewater canoe clinic, certification for Whitewater Rescue (WWR) I & II and Wilderness First Aid (WFA), and is a member of the Wilderness Canoe Association.
