Heya folks, I'm interested in hiking and bushcraft camping and wonder if anyone has any knowledge of locations to camp and hike nearby. Or even far, if I have to drive for an hour to have a good overnight camping location, so be it.  
 
Also as a secondary, if anyone knows of somewhere in town to get resources on local flora and fauna. I'm honestly interested in possibly looking into a career in the outdoors related to nature and the like, so if anyone has any knowledge of what kinds of jobs are worth looking into, and what courses are also available.

Beginning to think I posted this in the wrong forum.

I think your best bet would be to go to riding mountain and do some of the trails there.

The Brandon hills is full of trails. All the wilderness you could need to hone your skills ten minutes from town. I don't know of many people myself that practice bushcraft locally. But I have seen groups of people out there practicing survival skills

To the photos at the side, I added a picture of a couple of books. We got one at the gift shop at the RMNP museum and the other at the Peace Gardens. I would think you could find them locally at the book store in the Shoppers Mall.  
 
I think Albert Parsons/another local author put out dome books on plants and animals in MB.

I will attach a photo of the two books that I find really helpful for identifying birds and plants.

Cheers for all the replies so far guys 'n gals! Appreciate them all and I'll be looking into some books around town and the courses that ACC offers.
