Terrible news - Cam Lancaster

[Kody94]

Not sure what the appropriate forum is for this, but I expect that the people who knew him would frequent here the most.

I just heard that Cam Lancaster was killed in a plane crash yesterday. He went down in thick timber with his Super Cub. Apparently he was still breathing when they found him, but expired shortly thereafter. Leaves behind a wife and 4 kids.

Terrible loss.

Terrible news. My heart is with his family and his hunting partners.

[riflebuilder]

The Lancasters are good folks my prayers to the family

[BCrams]

Was just at my Dad's place and he told me what happened. I am sure to get more details via his connections.

Horrible tragedy and I feel for his wife and kids.

[Gateholio]

Terrible news...

My condolences to his family and friends.

[Brambles]

Thats really terrible, my thoughts go out to his friends and family.

Wasn't he in a plane or Helicopter crash in Russia last year or the year before?

[ruttinbuck]

A loss to hunting
My condolences to his family.RB

[Kody94]

Its always some consolation to me when someone goes doing what they love the most. Cam was way too young though....and I really feel terrible for his wife and kids.

He had a real close call with the helicopter crash on his Marco Polo hunt a few years ago too. Lots of risk in his chosen occupation/pastime and I guess it catches up to you eventually.

BCRams...maybe you can confirm if one of his guides was with him? I heard there was, and that he survived, but I don't know who or if he was hurt badly.

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Crappy. Really crappy:(.

I was just watching some of their Guide's Eye Sheep videos last night.

My condolences to his family and freinds.

That just sucks. I was just a the funeral for a local pilot yesterday and now yet another. Deepest sympathy to those touched by him.

I read that there had been a plane crash but this is the first I heard who it is.

[Deadshot]

Too many crashes lately. Sad to hear.

[NaStY]

While i don't know the people/person involved. Its always a sad day when someone has been taken from there family.

My condolences to the friends and family.......

[stixnstones]

brutal.i really enjoyed his videos. my dearest condolances to his wife and kids.

I knew Cam and the Lancasters. It's hard to imagine the pain they are in right now. I felt sick to my stomach just hearing the news. Cam was a great role model, dad and husband. On top of it all a one of a kind outdoorsman. He will be truley missed by all. It's another sad day.

We all have to all remember the way he was. When you start to forget, replay one of his movies. Hunting was his passion.

All the best to his family.

[daycort]

Was he flying at Nahanni or at Kawady?? Ust wondering as A good friend of mine son guides at Nahanni and Just wondering IF I should be phoning and finding out if he is OK. I met Cam once and he was a very nice man. My heart goes out to his wife and kids.

[srupp]

Susans and my thoughts and Prayers go out to the familly..

Heard about it as well - feel awful.

Cam was a good pilot and a heck of a nice guy. He'll be missed by many.

[sfire436]

I hope they spread some of his ashes across his hunting territory. I am sure it is where he would most enjoy his rest

Very sad news indeed.:icon_frow

All I can say is hunting and flying are close knit groups.
I knew him and his family for many years .

I met Cam in Smithers many years ago.

The branches do not fall from the tree - the Lancasters are all good people.

May God be with you all!

Did Cam post on here? If so then what was his handle? Must be horrible loosing a spouse in the prime of life... perhaps those that knew him could put a big basket of flowers together and have them delivered to the family form HBC.

[Deaddog]

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Lancaster family, a tough time for all of them.

I hear that Cam's family was up there with him, spending some time together before school starts, and Cam was scouting out a lake to take his kids fishing when the plane went down.

I can't imagine the pain his whole family is going through right now. Its a terribly sad story. :(

I've had three different phone calls and three different stories. It's all speculation right now.

Makes me feel sick when I think about it. There have been far too many hunters and pilots lost to the mountains and lakes of the North.

[buckguy]

Very sad news. Our hearts go out to the family. :sad:

[eric]

Horrible news....Cam was one of the best in the industry and always seemed to have a smile on his face and was a great guy to chat with.....

[Creeker]

Absolutely terrible news. We were very saddend by this news, and feel for his young family. When i was up there last fall they seemed like a very tight group and he did have his whole family up there as did his brothers.
