When Go RVing Canada asked us to take a Taxa trailer out on the open road, we knew exactly where we were going to go. Given the opportunity, Northern BC always calls our name. As owners of a production company that roots itself in wild places and surrounds itself with the animals that inhabit untouched stretches of wilderness, we never shy from the chance to tread new paths. We spend more than half of the year on the road, and are no strangers to living in tents, but having a remote house on wheels offered up an entirely new type of experience. The remote island chain of Haida Gwaii is home to about 5,000 residents, not including the wildlife that call the rugged and the remote wilderness home. It was the perfect destination to explore with the Taxa trailer.
Getting off the beaten track is no easy feat. The path takes you down decommissioned logging roads, across swollen creeks, and racing against time to beat the incoming tide as you traverse an open stretch of beach. These conditions are not an ideal environment for towing anything. But the high clearance and sturdily built overland style trailer from Taxa surprised us time and time again. Towed by our trusty steed, lovingly named “Blue”, our house on wheels gave us the chance to bring creature comforts we normally wouldn’t tote into the backcountry. This gave us more options for preparing wild-borne cuisine. We took advantage of this opportunity and explored mushroom and blacktail deer-rich forests and an ocean teeming with salmon. And, to top it all off, to cook our bounty, the open beaches of Haida Gwaii was a perfect setting.
