It is with great sadness and sorry I make this post after learning of a tragic backcountry accident that took the lives of Matthew & Stacey on Aug 7th, 2025, near Trout Lake, BC on the Rady Creek FSR.

When they started filming their Toyota/Chinook build and following adventures my wife and I followed vicariously along, often laughing at their wonderful, vibrant personalities. They reminded us of our ourselves, young and in love, with the world at our feet.

Our own story started very similar: exploring the wilderness in my old Toyota FJ 40 over 35 years ago. As a fellow Youtuber, I was drawn in to their world, watching them grow as filmakers and storytellers. I personally met Matt & Stacey in Port McNeill while they were heading to Sointula Island. It was a chance meeting I will never forget.

My wife and I read the tragic news with great shock and sadness. As parents, we have no words... we are both speechless. While in shock and full of sorrow, we only have one way to console ourselves. Matt & Stacey passed away together, as a couple in love, with a passion for adventure and storytelling ~ allowing us a glimpse into their lives. They will be at rest and at peace together. They will not be forgotten. ❤️RIP❤️
