MAKENZIE LEE
I’m Mak, ex-Canadian Forces, survival instructor, and private security contractor.

I’ve spent my life surviving in harsh conditions and thriving under pressure. Now, I combine that experience with my lifelong passion for motorcycles to teach others how to ride smart, camp hard, and stay alive in the wild.

I didn’t grow up with bikes, but I always wanted one. On a long drive back from Missouri to Canada, a friend and mentor talked me into it. That decision changed everything.

My first road bike was a Suzuki V-Strom 650. Not long after, my mentor blew past me on a Triumph Sprint like I was standing still. I upgraded to a Suzuki Bandit 1200, then dove deep into the world of adventure and sport bikes, and I’ve never looked back.

That mentor? He used to ride for a UK intelligence agency. Over time, he passed those skills on to me—techniques built for speed, precision, and survival. I fused that knowledge with my own military and fieldcraft experience, and The Rogue Nomad was born.

From camping out of a ruck, to a truck, to a tailbag - I’ve lived it all.
Now I’m sharing everything I know to help riders pack smarter, go further, and survive wherever the road ends.
