MIA: Local Edition – Exploring the BC Backcountry


Backyard Bliss: Why We Call BC Home

While my journey has taken me from the boardrooms of Silicon Valley to the legendary peaks of the French Alps, there’s a reason I chose to anchor my life and my craft right here in British Columbia. BC isn't just a place; it's a playground of world-class adventures that are, quite literally, right in our backyard.

Being Missing In Adventure (MIA) doesn't always require a plane ticket. Sometimes, it just requires a set of tires, a pair of boots, or a paddle.

From Coastal Forests to Alpine Peaks

One day you might be navigating the mossy, fern-lined mountain bike trails of the North Shore, and the next, you’re staring at the crystal-clear reflection of a jagged peak in a hidden alpine lake. The scale and diversity of the BC backcountry are what fuel my inspiration every single day in the workshop.

Commemorating Your Local Legends

At Advent Wood Products, we believe that your local adventures deserve to be celebrated just as much as the "bucket list" trips. Whether it's the trail you ride every Tuesday or the hidden lake where you proposed, these are the moments that make up your "Best Days Ever."
Our custom signs and bundles are designed to be physical anchors for these local legends. Crafted from the very woods that surround us—Knotty Pine, Maple, and Ash—they bring a piece of the BC backcountry into your home.
