I was born in northern Alberta, and I've lived in the Yukon, northwest territories, Nunavut (before it was Nunavut), and Northern Manitoba. I now live in Niagara region.
I worked as a lineman for the most part, but worked in natural resources for a few years too. Mostly lived in the open woodland and coniferous forest regions, but did time in the tundra for a year. Pic related gives a good outline of the biomes. But I found Most places look identical once you get into the Canadian Shield onward.
During the summer months, the forested areas are quite enjoyable places to live. Definitely great hunting, hiking and camping. If your a fisherman, the freshwater lakes in Yukon and NWT may be the best fishing spots in all of north america. Absolutely pristine water, giant fish, and beautiful views.
During the winter however, going outdoors overnight without being properly prepared can very easily lead to a death sentence. It's not something most people do for fun. It's a battle, and a lot of hassle for a relaxing liesure activity. Overnight temperatures in winter can easily kill you if your not careful.
