I guide vision fast retreats in the BC wilderness, with basecamp at or around my land, Monkey Valley. So over the years I've also shared stories of the wildlife, the land, my misadventures in building repairs and maintenance, and what it is like to live in the wilderness. Sometimes I write about things that happen when I'm running, and bizarre stuff my mind comes up with. I have a lot of fun writing it and I hope you'll have fun reading it.
