Beschreibung
I was born and raised and live in the local area. I manage the local airport which has commercial flights direct to Vancouver and services all local air traffic. During wildfire season, the airport has historically been crucial to the helicopters and air tankers for fuel and other services, and continues to be a crucial asset in wildfires. The airport is currently on a long term expansion plan.
In the course of an average day, I wear many different hats. I have been an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer since I was 18 as well as a hunting and fishing guide for most of my life, as well as equipment operator, LNG plant operator, and beyond. I am very outdoor oriented and spend as much time outside as possible. My wife and I have an acreage on Anahim Lake and have boats, canoes, quads, horses, dogs, cows, chickens, etc.

Learning the inner workings of an airport is a great experience. You will experience a great variety of life skills and lifestyle. The exposure to life in this remote area of British Columbia will be vast and is something you will remember forever.
Arbeit
I am looking for general help with the airport grounds maintenance and upkeep as well as at my property.
It can be anything from mowing lawns to fixing fences to running equipment. Cutting firewood for the winter supply is always a good time filler. There are always things to do, some days being busier than others. Everyday can provide a new challenge. Basic skills are all that is needed for most things. Between the airport and my property I am always building something so basic carpentry skills are an asset. I am building and finishing a steel shop so I usually spend a little time every day working on it, or fixing something in it. You will be exposed to a very large variety of things to do, some more fun than others. The little things around the house are always appreciated as well. If your plan is to spend all of your spare time sitting on the couch and playing on your phone, this probably isn't for you.

Unterkunft
I have a travel trailer which is located at my property and will only have you in it. The trailer is set up on the hill so your morning views are top notch. the trailer is for your accommodation, and meals are with Jody and I. We eat a great variety of food. I like to cook and am actually quite good at it.

This area of British Columbia is world renowned for its fishing and outdoor experience. The famous Rainbow Mountains and Tweedsmuir Park are only 20 minutes from my doorstep. Hiking, camping, fishing and wildlife viewing are always available. My house is on a lake so the birds and wildlife are abundant. I have boats and canoes so evening paddles and fishing are always available when the lake isn't frozen and lots of ice fishing when the water is hard. The beautiful Bella Coola Valley is only 90 minutes away with great outdoor opportunities and some shopping. We also live in an area that uses no insecticides so the mosquitos are abundant and extremely happy to take advantage of your blood supply- bring bug dope.

My time at Super Dave and Jody's was the best introduction into Canada anyone could ask for, these two look after you very well, and make you feel at home straight away, from the accommodation with amazing views to just good old fashioned proper hospitality.

My time spent in Anahim lake with Dave and Jody was amazing! :)
From the moment I jumped in the truck with Dave I was thrown into an amazing mix of new experiences; loading and unloading baggage into planes at the airport, stacking (Lots:) of firewood, burning brush… read more

Dave took me along on all his daily adventures, wether it was branding cows, repainting the runway, hauling hay or picking up beehives from Bella Coola.
In between I mowed the lawn, picked rocks, learned a bunch of new skills and did a lot of things I would never… read more
You made me feel at home since the very first moment. I stayed in a trailer for my own and woke up every morning with a stunning view on the lake, the day couldn’t start better. The working conditions are excellent, I did general work at the airport, cleaned rental cars, cut firewood, run… read more
