Winter Camping Adventure 2023
Earlier this winter, a few of the guys braved the temperatures and conditions and headed out for a winter camping trip. Winter camping may not be for everyone, but can be successful with the proper equipment, clothing and understanding of the risks. Away they go!...
3rd Annual Grey Owl’s Biking Trip – 2022
The first time I was invited to bike the Grey Owl's trail I thought "It's a hiking trail, how hard could that be?" Haha, oh the follies. Biking this trail is hard to describe the difficulties. Yes, it's a 40km bike ride. But people do that all the time. And, yes, it's...

Being Active and Healthy
Health professionals and government officials around the world are working hard trying to figure out how best to handle this pandemic while the rest of us sit back and wonder if we're going to run out of toilet paper... Yes, we're navigating a period of time where it...
Say YES
Say "Yes!" to new adventures! Here at Atlas, since we started, this has been our slogan. Our catch phrase. We thought it fitting as we started a whole new adventure by opening Atlas Outdoors in Warman. Talk about a new adventure! This week my wife Corrie and I went...
