Russell and Wesley Mussio were born and raised in Trail, B.C. Growing up in a small town allowed them to pursue outdoor activities. Through their father, Sergio, they learned to love and appreciate activities such as camping, fishing, hiking and hunting. Russell and Wesley started the Backroad Mapbook Series in 1993. It was their endless pursuit for backcountry adventure that helped them come up with a book that combines detailed up-to-date maps along with recreational information on popular outdoor activities.
