    Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply to you - I’m not often on here and don’t think I ever got a notification for your message. The solution is in development and I’ll be looking for some beta testers sooner or later depending on where you are located or travelling. I’d be happy to chat a...

    Willing to participate in market research?

    Hello OB family, Many of you spend time in the backcountry, in off-grid and remote areas, and I thought some of you might be willing to help me as I do some market research. I am looking for people who play or work off-grid, in the backcountry to participate in a 30 minute market research...

    Canada! New Brunswick and Nova Scotia then on to Winnipeg!

    Wow! On your way back? We’ll be glad to have you back. Make sure you do a stretch on the north shore of the St. Lawrence between Gaspé and Québec City - way nicer than the south shore. I’m a fan of Sandbanks PP in Eastern Ontario and the trip along the shores of Lake Superior is amazing, but...

    Trans Labrador Adventure

    I would be interested in any info you would share - we are taking a trip to Newfoundland from Manitoba late this summer, and I’m considering travelling through Labrador before crossing and making our way around Newfoundland. Thanks in advance.

    CA Atlantic Canada Trip planning to Labrador and Newfoundland via James Bay Road

    We’ll be making the trip from Manitoba, towards Québec, Labrador and Newfoundland in August, to eventually making our way to PEI and Nova Scotia in September. I’m just starting to wrap my head around the trip so I won’t be able to offer much right now, but I will most definitely keep an eye out...
