From hidden canyons and hot springs to historic landmarks and unforgettable viewpoints, these are the stops that made our Season 1 journey even more memorable.

April to June is Springtime in British Columbia. Winter has finally released its icy grip on the land, a warm spring breeze blows from the south, and the last of the snow begins to disappear. Grass starts pushing through the ground, black bears emerge from their dens, and bear season is officially open. Unless you live where I do.

From burgers and breakfasts to breweries and bakeries, these are the places we keep returning to across BC.

Finding Nowhere films 8–10 episodes a year. Across our vast and rugged province — and increasingly, far beyond it. That means months spent bouncing between highways, dirt roads, airports, boats, mountain trails, logging roads, motel parking lots, and frequently, friends’ floors.

Almost 30,000 kilometers.

That’s what the odometer reads after filming Season 2 of Finding Nowhere - Which concluded the week of April 18th 2026.

30,000 kilometers of backroads and highways, cutting through some of the most breathtaking country British Columbia has to offer. Past quiet lakes and long stretches of timber. Through valleys that open wide and mountains that close in just as fast.

It’s funny how certain moments, often small, unexpected ones, leave an imprint that quietly shapes our mindset and lifestyle choices for years to come. I remember watching Blood Diamond years ago. In one scene, two characters, one a hardened ex-military operative, the other a local fisherman, raid a military gear tent and then disappear into the jungle on a multi-day trek through rugged, mountainous terrain in search of a hidden diamond mine.

Just about every time we head out on a hunt, Ryan, Aaron, or one of our expert guests inevitably says,

“That’s why it’s called hunting, not killing.”

This bit of folk wisdom, while a nice deflection to the anti-hunting ilk out there, is also deeply true.

I was awarded a late-season elk draw in British Columbia’s Limited Entry Hunting lottery (LEH) in the Dawson Creek, Peace River area. Our friends at Corlanes Sporting Goods are D.C. locals ( who you may remember from our very first episode) and kindly offered to help us track down an elk. Help we most certainly needed! Even though there are approximately 18,000 elk in Northern B.C., and roaming herds can include as many as 400, they are cagey, cautious, and often completely elusive.

Some of the best moments of filming Season 1 of Finding Nowhere were off-camera and had little to do with the actual hunting of animals. It was the moments after and in between all the “action” that I recall feeling a happy kind of contentedness in my heart. Moments where I’m just sitting there in this absurdly beautiful place on Earth. My hands and clothes are dirty from the pursuit, but who cares. I’m enjoying the rare privilege of time in nature, fully present with a few friends, and probably half-drunk under a hot sun or a bright moon.

Throughout history, human beings have gathered around the table, the Christmas tree, the T.V. and the fire. It’s April, so Santa is still on vacation and, believe it or not, here on my farm, we don’t have a properly working television. So this just leaves the table and a fire. Fortunately, that’s all we’ll need for our finale episode of Finding Nowhere Season 1.

 Well, that and a whole lot of meat!
