What's up!
Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum, I just registered today. However, I've been lurking for a while, I just haven't posted.
My name is Ben. I'm 16.
I come from Welland, Ontario, Canada. Winter just arrived a couple days ago, it's about -3 C right now.
I love the outdoors, I love it so much I made it my job. I just started my own outdoor company called Badger Outdoor. I hope one day to be able to make enough money so that I can get a nice cabin and live off the grid.
Right now I've mostly been obsessed about photography. I love to take pictures of nature. I spend most of my time outside finding new areas and trails to take pictures of.
I go camping and hiking a lot with my family (probably once a month) but haven't really got the chance to go backpacking anywhere.
Once I get older that's something i'd like to do. I live near the Bruce Trail (largest trail in Canada). So now I'm gonna start prepping for my expedition. Hopefully I get some stuff for christmas lol.
I haven't had much training, or experience for that matter. The only thing i'm trained in is first aid, i'm certified as a lifeguard.
I had one crazy experience where it came in handy. I was tubing down the elora gorge, which has some pretty fast rapids. But I fell off my tube, then got swept into the rapids, I had to fight my way out, that's when my swimming skills came in handy.
So I've had some experience in the wilderness but I would say i'm a beginner. I haven't prepared for anything but i'd like to start.
So in summary, my hobbies and interests are: Photography, Camping, First Aid, Outdoor Business. And I'd like to get into backpacking.
I can't wait to meet you guys and learn!
