Becoming Backcountry is a Canadian outdoor community for people who want to become more capable, confident, and prepared in the wild.

Whether you’re getting into backpacking, paddling, hiking, climbing, scrambling, camping, backcountry skiing, or longer wilderness trips, this group is here to help you learn from others, ask questions, share wins, avoid common mistakes, and plan better adventures.

This is not a place for ego, gatekeeping, or pretending everyone was born knowing how to read weather, pack food, choose routes, manage risk, or sleep comfortably outside.

It’s for people who are learning, improving, and building a life with more time outdoors.

Share your trip plans, lessons learned, gear questions, trail reports, wins, failures, photos, and hard-earned advice.

We’re here to get better outside, together.
