Sad tidings

Many of you likely know already, but it is with deep regret that we have to announce that Craig ‘Casual’ Fardell, has moved on to adventures in another realm. He succumbed to his battle with cancer on June 5.

Cas was half of the amazing awildland couple (along with Chrissy) who inspired us all with their adventures, eloquent writings and amazing photography. 

Everyone will have their own reflections on the life and legacy of Cas. He was a mentor and friend to so many and his calm, kind, thoughtful, stoked and humorous demeanor is what drew so many to him. 

There are few people on the planet who loved nature more and explored its varied, wild places with so much passion and skill. He was a master of bushcraft and adventure sports. He was also one of the best wildlife and landscape photographers around, capturing beautiful images that will continue to lead viewers to dream, reflect and plan adventures for many years to come. 

In one of Cas’s final emails, he said "No regrets, all things positive. Keep paddling, keep walking, keep exploring because that's what life is all about". He was a true legend. 

Please offer your love and support to Chrissy in this very difficult time.
