For years I have wanted to visit Anyox, but it is one of those locations that you cant "just visit". It is located in the North Western corner of BC, Canada. Its ocean boat access only, and you launch from a privately owned ghost town that is always locked. Needless to say, this trip is no small feat, but it is so worth the effort. We booked our trip with Rob Bryce, as he is the only one that has access to these facilities and also a key to Kitsault where we launch the boat. I highly recommend to book with Rob, because he knows damn near everything there is to know about Anyox, and he'll show you everything you want to see on your visit.
Going into this trip, I knew we would be seeing some amazing things, and some impressive history, but I had absolutely no idea just how much we were going to see. There are a couple of iconic structures that are easy to see and access, so that is all that is really shown as the remains of Anyox, but this is not the reality. If you venture past the tree-line and explore into the forest, there is so so soooo much left to see and discover, and that is exactly what we did. We booked an extra day on this trip to make sure we could see as much as possible, and we did just that. We were averaging 15 km per day of thick, brushy, steep tough hiking, but we just couldn't stop. Every ten steps there is something to see. Whether it is an old fire hydrant, a relic from one of the past residents or a massive cement building, the discoveries an Anyox are endless. I could have spent weeks exploring here, but I did the best I could with three days lol.
As the channel grows, it opens up the opportunity to take some bigger risks with these bigger more remote adventures, and that is largely due to the folks on Patreon. These big trips are not cheap, and having that platform and support is huge to pushing that growth. Thank you to each and every one of my Patrons, and if you enjoy the channel I hope you may consider joining the Patreon team as well.
