Hi Everybody!
It's my pleasure to join you all here today with my introductory post to tell you a bit about myself. I'm a small town quebec boy who has been living down in New Zealand for a few years now.. but don't worry, I'll be back! In 2016 to be exact. At that time I will be returning home from a 5 year posting in NZ with my wife. I have spent a good chunk of my life working as a fancy-a$$ chef. But I realized a few years back that something was missing...what could it be? oh yeah...SUNSHINE. working in a professional kitchen is an 80-100 a week kind of gig, not very good for an active outdoorsy fella like myself. So I gave it all up, I studied here in NZ as a professional outdoor instructor a few years back and pretty much spend all my time out-of-doors. I have a big passion for wilderness survival/ preparedness as well as canoeing, camping, hunting (with a bow), and basically all things bushcraft.
I have recently started my own youtube channel that is slowly growing (Robert Noel under "channels" search).
Here is a link to the intro video I did when I started it. A bit about my ethos and background as well as what I will get to talking about etc...

I have a "trainer" level certification in leave no trace camping.
I manage an arial obstacle course down here called *********t...Even starred in the TV add:

When I get back to Canada I aspire to train hard to get up to scratch on the Canadian wilderness and hope to be able to open a small school where others can learn a bit about getting outdoors and feel safe in the knowledge that they have the skills to not only survive, but to thrive.
Well thats me rambling on again...hope to learn and contribute much to this forum.
Cheers
Robert
