Time to Xplore — How do YOU adventure?

Adventure looks different for everyone.

For some, it means crossing continents. For others, it's a trail close to home, a motorcycle ride, a forgotten road, or simply finding time to explore.

Join me as I talk with adventurers, explorers, creators, and everyday people about their journeys, challenges, lessons, and the moments that pushed them beyond the ordinary.

Because adventure isn't defined by distance.

It's defined by the decision to explore.

How do YOU adventure?

  • In Episode 13 of Time to Xplore, I sit down with author and long-distance hiker Colin Friars to talk about his incredible 2018 southbound thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. While most hikers travel north, Colin chose the less-traveled SOBO route, taking on one of the world’s most iconic long-distance trails from Maine to Georgia. The Appalachian Trail stretches roughly 2,197 miles (3,536 km) through 14 states and is one of the world’s best-known thru-hiking routes.

We dive into the challenges, unforgettable moments, the trail community, and the lessons learned over months of living one step at a time. Colin also shares the story behind his book, Happy Trails, and why the journey became so much more than simply reaching the finish.

Whether you’re an experienced backpacker, dreaming of your first thru-hike, or simply love hearing stories of adventure and resilience, this episode is packed with inspiration.

In this episode:

• Why Colin chose to hike southbound

• The realities of life on the Appalachian Trail

• Trail friendships and unexpected challenges

• The story behind Happy Trails

• Colin’s answer to the question… How do you adventure?

What happens when a simple bike becomes more than just a way to get outside? In this episode of Time to Xplore, we revisit the story of the Budget Fatbike — a machine that started as an affordable way to explore and became a true adventure rig.

Built with the goal of proving that adventure doesn’t have to come with a massive price tag, the Budget Fatbike became a platform for exploration, learning, and getting creative with what you already have. It’s a reminder that the best adventure gear isn’t always the most expensive — it’s the gear that gets you outside.

We dive into the journey of transforming a budget-friendly fatbike into a capable exploration machine, the modifications, the adventures, the challenges, and the lessons learned along the way.

Because adventure isn’t about how much you spend — it’s about where you go, what you discover, and the stories you bring home.

Welcome back to Time to Xplore.

Welcome back to the Time To Xplore Podcast! In this comeback episode, we reset the compass for 2026, exploring how adventure can evolve and adapt to real life.


After a big move to Saint John, retiring the trusty 2000 Explorer, and upgrading to a lifted AWD Volvo XC70, Rick reflects on what micro-adventures mean in a world shaped by mobility challenges, social media frustration, and life’s everyday responsibilities.


From sunsets at Spednic Lake to bucket-list trips to Martens Head, he shares stories of small wins, urban exploration, weekend escapes, and the lessons learned along the way. This episode is about slower miles, mindful exploration, and still moving forward — proving that adventure isn’t just about distance, it’s about presence.


Join Rick as he lays out the vision for 2026: a year of micro-adventures, island-hopping excursions, and rediscovering the overlooked treasures of the world around us.

We went on to discuss the new axles he's putting in and the special kit he used to make them fit perfectly on his Jeep. Oh, and let me tell you, he's also doing an engine swap and tons of other modifications. Nigel's really going all out on this project!

In 2018 we ended up on a group canoe trip in Wabakimi in northern Ontario…and became friends and chat on a regular basis.

You may have seen his rigs exploring various areas of Ontario and Manitoba.


His diesel Hilux is a little beast that he has explored an almost completely off-road a network of backroads leading from Manitoba to the Ontario-Quebec border.


His Canter build with the cabin box on the back is going to be a home away from home when it is completed..knowing him once it is weatherproof he will be out exploring as he works to finish it.
