I’m a forestry technician in Manitoba, the forest management area we manage is the largest in the entire world, we have a truly beautiful country, its potential looks bright with the way the world is changing. Its natural beauty and preservation is unmatched. Your videos are actually very well made and cover important points and scientific facts. Keep it up man! My aim is to one day is to influence policy to create more parks and push for increased management for our wildlife and forests to maintain their beauty and biodiversity, however I think developing our remote north will be very important going forward, it would be nice to access some of these remote locations easier.
Hey man! First of all, thank you for the work you do! The conservation of our forests is extremely important especially with our current anthropogenic changes. I agree the beauty, ruggedness and scale of our wilderness parks are unmatched! I appreciate your support man! It really keeps me motivated to continue making content! So thank you 🙏. Keep up the good work! I hope you get a chance to influence our wildlife management and biodiversity policy one day!
@@Urban_Atlas I’m sure your channel will continue to grow, it’s really great stuff you cover. I look forward to your next videos, there’s always more to learn about our expansive country. I could ramble or listen to others like yourself ramble on about the wildlife, geography, and ecology of these places for hours, it’s so fascinating but very few people even know what’s out there.
@@Pembie. when it comes to schooling I would highly recommend getting a diploma in Natural Resources instead, it covers forestry, fisheries, wildlife, law enforcement and so much more. Natural resources schooling takes the same amount of time and gives you more options and can be reaaally fun too if you go to a school with a good natural resource program. I could go on and on about all the cool things my program had offered like a remote field camp experience even doing survival training, writing scientific research papers, and doing lots of hands on work. Most of the people I work with who went to Forestry school wish they had taken it instead. You’re also guaranteed to instantly find work with high pay. To answer your question about forestry, i love it, although I am going to make the switch to wildlife because I like variety. You get to spend a lot of time in the bush but you’ll have to be okay with working in rain and with lots of bugs sometimes. You’ll most likely perform surveys and I find it’s a good balance between physicality and mental stimulation, lots of great videos on YT about working forestry. I get to quad around, fly in helicopters, and camp in remote locations. Some entry level positions you might even be able to get without schooling because of the high demand for these positions and lack of applicants. Working as a surveyor/timber cruiser is a great introductory. You get a lot of independence and no matter who you are there’s so much to learn working forestry. Let me know if you have any other questions, positions like these are becoming more and more valuable and our younger generations aren’t applying. P.S. Keep in mind that things are different from province to province and my experience is in Northern Manitoba. I also went to a smaller university to save money and get a more hands on experience (university college of the North)
@@Bozo825 Thank you for the detailed reply, your career so far sounds amazing. One more question though, I've heard people disregard a natural resources degree as a viable option to break into the environmental field as it is supposedly too general compared to the specificity of a degree such as forestry. Is this true?
Thank you for spreading the beauty of Canada. It's amazing how few Canadians explore their immense country and all its little nooks. More than a lifetime to do it all.
Far easier (and cheaper, per km/miles of travel) for the vast majority of Canadians to simply go to Thailand, Australia, Chile, or other far-flung spots than to go to the Canadian Arctic.
Incredibly lucky to have been to Auyuittuq twice from Pangnirtung, and have flown across it to Qikiqtarjuaq at low altitude, flying directly above mount Thor (highest vertical drop in the world), mount Asgard and mount Odin. Most spectacular and unbelievable landscape I've ever seen. I climbed mount Duval in Pang and took a photo of the Fjord and have it printed on a huge canvas in my home. Most beautiful photo I've ever taken.
I managed to solo hike through the akshayuk pass in Auyuittuq a couple years ago and it was one of the wildest trips of my life. I’ve never felt so isolated in both positive and negative ways. The views are spectacular, the bugs evil, and the rivers dangerous. Should you ever want to hike this, there are several river crossing you must do, and the danger of them can vary wildly. As I was alone, it made them even more difficult and challenging and there were a couple close calls that almost sent me down. Polar bears are a real threat, though I was fortunate not to run into any. Before you hike it, there’s a mandatory orientation you must take to earn you of the dangers. I will always remember the lady telling me that the closest helicopter rescue team that was trained to operate in such mountains was in Banff Alberta. So no quick rescue should you be in trouble. I hiked it in 7 days and didn’t see a soul the whole time. 10/10 would recommend
Wow! Man this is amazing 🙏. What an epic and life changing trip, the fact you were able to do it alone, makes it even more glorious. Thank you so much for sharing this! I will have to hit you up once I save enough money to make this trip for my self. Just sounds so epic! Thank you once again ❤️
The "q" in Inuktitut is pronounced as a "k" with a slight guttural sound immediately after, such that - for example - Iqaluit sounds like "i-kcha-lu-it" (with the "ch" sounding like Bach or loch but much softer).
i was looking fo videos on this topics there's like 2 or 3 months and there were nothing on it. Im so happy that you did it so i can show my family and friends all those remote area that they never heard of :)
Its not on your list as it is slightly ''more accessible'' but i've been lucky enough to get to the Pingaluit crater (last week) by helicopter from the mine i work for north of the Pingaluit National Park in northern Québec. That park might be an interesting one to talk about since the crater as unique features! Cheers!
I have always been fascinated by Pingaluit crater and the lake, I would say it’s still pretty inaccessible considering it’s far in the north of Quebec and it’s not east to get up there. That’s awesome that you got a chance to see it up close. I hope and wish one day I can see it too! I might include it in a future video as welll 😉. Thank you so much 😊
@@Urban_Atlas If the weather allow it, ill try to get you some footage of the general site, crater and camp next to it next time i get there (there is a chance between the 16 and 18 if august but dont take my word on it, our helicopter runs are unpredictable.
Canada has a diverse landscape. There are rainforest, desert, tundra, prairie, deciduous forest, shrubland, badlands, ice caps, Canadian Shield, and more.

How is work as a forestry technician? I’ve been considering a degree in forestry (from UNB) but I would like to know more before I cement it.

100% , most people aren’t even aware of how beautiful this country is and how much it has to offer.
Far easier (and cheaper, per km/miles of travel) for the vast majority of Canadians to simply go to Thailand, Australia, Chile, or other far-flung spots than to go to the Canadian Arctic.
These all look like spectacular places. It might be interesting to see the most accessible natural parks, though they are likely to be the most busy.
Yea, might make a future video on that.

That’s amazing man! You are so blessed to have been able to witness that! You are living my dream life 😅.
Loved your last few videos. I would love to see a video on some of the more accessible, yet remote parks that Canada has to offer!
Thanks so much ! Great idea! I will make a video on those as well!
I am so happy you videos are getting discovered.
Thank you so much! Me too lol 😂

@@Urban_Atlas absolutely, it’s a bit of a hassle to plan it out, but very doable 👌
I've never heard of any of these places before but now I want to go to all of them 😅
They are all amazing!
Just on time for my morning coffee, cheers dude keep it up
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video and the coffee 😉
Just in time for my evening beer.
I would love to be able to travel to places like that. That would be a hell of an adventure.
My thoughts exactly! On my list! If only I could afford it 😅
Heck yeah part three!
Such a great video. Love it
Thanks!
Iqaluit -- "i-ka-lu-it"
Qikitarjuaq - "ki-keet-tar-ju-ak"
Thank you! This makes it a lot easier.
The "q" in Inuktitut is pronounced as a "k" with a slight guttural sound immediately after, such that - for example - Iqaluit sounds like "i-kcha-lu-it" (with the "ch" sounding like Bach or loch but much softer).
What beautiful places these are. But you have to have a lot of money to visit one of these places.
Yes stunning locations! But indeed very expensive, but the silver lining here is that these places will stay pristine.
Or go into lots and lots of debt if you can't afford it but are going anyway.
PLZ MOOOORE i wish i could visit all of them :(
i was looking fo videos on this topics there's like 2 or 3 months and there were nothing on it. Im so happy that you did it so i can show my family and friends all those remote area that they never heard of :)
I’m glad you are enjoying the videos! There’s a lot more interesting content coming soon! Stay tuned

Be amazing man! I would love that. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Manicouagan, though not a national park, is another impact crater in northern Quebec.
Thanks dude
No problem man! 🙏
Part 3
Just like the rest of the canada. Trees and mountain. What a homogeneous lame landscape.
Canada has a diverse landscape. There are rainforest, desert, tundra, prairie, deciduous forest, shrubland, badlands, ice caps, Canadian Shield, and more.
As a resident of the plains, I have no complaint if there are mountains!
