Destination features, honest gear reviews, and original photography – from a family who actually lives it.
BushLife is an outdoor blog covering fishing, hunting, camping, off-roading and travel across Ontario. We write about places we’ve been and gear we’ve used, for an audience of families and outdoor enthusiasts planning their next trip.
If you’re a tourism board, a lodge, or a brand looking for content that reads like a real person made it – let’s talk.

What We Offer
1. Destination & Tourism Content
For tourism boards, townships, conservation authorities, lodges and outfitters.
We create destination features that make a place feel worth the drive – the practical details visitors actually need (parking, trails, hours, accessibility, where to eat and stay) wrapped in writing that has some warmth to it.
What you get:
- A written feature, researched on location – not from a press kit
- Original photography, licensed for your own website and social use
- Practical visitor information: access, timing, trails, facilities, nearby businesses
- The piece published on BushLife, on your site, or both – your call.
Recent work: Ranney Gorge | Bonnechere Caves | Warsaw Caves | Egan Chutes
Pricing is quoted per project based on scope, travel and photo licensing. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll put together an itemized quote.
2. Product Reviews & Brand Partnerships
For outdoor brands who are confident in their gear.
We test things properly. Coolers get leak-tested. Rain suits get worn in actual rain. If something runs large, leaks at the seam, or isn’t worth the money, we say so – which is exactly why our readers trust what we recommend, and why our reviews convert.
What you get:
- A hands-on review based on real use, not a spec sheet rewrite
- Original product photography in the field
- Video where it makes sense
- Honest coverage, including the drawbacks
We don’t publish paid five-star reviews, and we don’t recommend gear we haven’t used. If that’s a fit for your brand, we’d love to hear from you.

3. Graphic Design & Creative Support
Twenty years of design work, from local businesses to national brands.
Behind BushLife is a working graphic designer. If you need branding, marketing materials, or ongoing creative support, that’s available too.
- Brand Identity – logo, colours, type, style guide
- Marketing Materials – print, digital, social
- Templates and content systems
- Ongoing design support on retainer
Selected Projects:
- Sunset Grill Restaurants – lead designer for 12 years, supporting 100+ franchise locations across TV, menus, billboards, brand and print.
- Goldline Curling & Olympic Partnerships – product catalogues, retail collateral and curling stick graphics used by the Canadian and Swiss Olympic teams. One design was featured by Lululemon’s CEO.
- Super Bowl Hospitality – promotional postcards, posters and keycard holders for event hosts.
Every project is different, so design work is quoted individually.

How It Works
1. Tell Us About Your Project
A few sentences is plenty – what you’re promoting, roughly when, and what you’re hoping for.
2. We’ll Suggest an Angle
For destination work, we’ll pitch a story outline before anything is booked, so we both know what we’re making.
3. You Get an Itemized Quote
Writing, photography licensing and expenses, listed separately. No surprises.
4. We Make It
Typical turnaround is four weeks from an agreed outline, with revisions included.
