Our brand channels Vancouver’s essence: breathtaking scenery, adventurous living, and dynamic culture. Vancity Adventure celebrates voyages and adventures, showcases nature’s wonders, embraces camping, conquers thrilling trails, and shares it all through engaging YouTube stories.
We’re on a mission to bring Vancouver’s adventurous heart to the world—one epic journey at a time.

In 2004, fate brought Daryl and Angie together, sparking a love story that led to marriage in 2008 and the joy-filled arrival of their son, Cayden, in 2012. Together, they’ve built a life rooted in adventure, family, and shared passions.
While Daryl and Cayden dive into overlanding and off-roading, Angie has her own interests and values her privacy. She occasionally joins select trips, especially those involving travel and camping, adding her unique touch to their experiences. Their story celebrates partnership, balance, and the beauty of embracing both shared and individual passions.
Tosha, our adventurous pug, is the ultimate outdoor companion. She loves hiking, exploring nature trails, and soaking in the sights and scents of the great outdoors. From chasing squirrels to splashing in streams or basking in the sun, her boundless energy and zest for life bring extra joy to every Vancity Adventure journey.

The pandemic hit hard, and by April 3, 2020, work had slowed so much it pushed me to the edge of burnout. Out of that stress, Vancity Adventure was born—fueled by our passion for outdoor exploration and video storytelling. Every day, we honed our filming skills and uncovered new trails to share with the world.
What followed surpassed our wildest dreams. Hundreds of fans joined the journey, asking questions, sharing stories, and building a community around adventure and exploration. The support and camaraderie blew us away.
We’re grateful to have you along for the ride. Welcome to Vancity Adventure—where every journey inspires the next.
Christmas 2019 changed everything. I reached out to my childhood friend Chrome for parade music—and discovered he’d traded DJing for Vanlife, documenting his journey on YouTube as Vancity Vanlife, now The Chrome Project. Inspired, I learned about YouTube content creation and decided to film my first video for my construction company in early 2020.
When the pandemic hit, slowing work, I turned to the outdoors—sharing epic trails, overlanding, and father-son adventures with my son Cayden and our pug Tosha. That’s how Vancity Adventure was born—a story of resilience, creativity, and seizing opportunities in uncertain times.
I personally craft 95% of Vancity Adventure’s designs, blending my experience as a traditional artist and computer graphic artist. My work has transformed walls, magazine covers, and countless logos across platforms. While I lead every project, I occasionally collaborate with other talented artists to bring fresh perspectives and elevate creativity. This unique mix of skill and collaboration ensures every Vancity Adventure project stands out with bold, innovative, and visually striking designs.
The heart of our adventures is simple yet powerful: bonding, learning, storytelling, and sharing experiences that inspire others. Each journey sparks growth, connection, and unforgettable memories.
For me, it’s about father-son moments with my son, strengthened with every trail we conquer. And with Tosha, our loyal dog, by our side, the adventures are even more joyful. Dogs truly are the ultimate travel companions, bringing loyalty, energy, and endless fun to every journey.
Our drone journey started small—with a budget model that didn’t survive filming a waterfall. Undeterred, we upgraded to the DJI Mavic Air 2, a game-changer for capturing epic aerial footage.
As licensed drone pilots in Canada, we follow all regulations for drones over 250g, embracing the responsibility that comes with the craft. From sweeping landscapes to heart-pounding adventures, our drone gives a breathtaking, unique perspective, elevating every Vancity Adventure story we share.
The truck at the heart of our adventures has been mine, proudly carrying my company logo until February 2023. I also had another 2005 Dodge Ram in the fleet—similar in look but with a rack, different grill, and lights—usually driven by others, while I stuck to my main rig.
The photos below show my truck in 2008 and 2020, before we launched Vancity Adventure. They capture the evolution of our vehicle and hint at the epic journeys that turned it into the ultimate overlanding machine we explore with today.
