He has his fish processed by Saint Jeans Canary in Nanaimo British Columbia bringing you the freshest wild BC canned salmon.  When he isn't fishing he is beachcombing. Touring the British Columbia coast line from Desolation Sound thru the inlets to the tip of Vancouver Island where he gathers logs that are either a navigational hazard to boaters, help retrieve logs that have become separated from tows, and gathering large trees with there roots attached that have flushed out of the rivers due to natural disaster and flooding.

     He also works along with Gulf Log Salvage Co-operative Association and B.C. Log Spill Recovery Co-op Association. The product that I will focus on here is a very special item to be able to offer as it is a rarity and recycled product offered by nature. These trees can be a very old.
