Not adventuring for someone like me is difficult. Whenever I have a spare hour or two, or more, I start thinking of a place I can run off to and explore it. But sadly, time for me, doesn't always allow that. Suprisingly to people who know me and are on my facebook, especially, think blogging and adventuring is my full time job. This, is actually not a job at all, it is what I do [...]

Looking for Winter in Utopia!- Tiffin Conservation Area

I spent some time at Arrowhead Provincial Park snowshoeing a few sundays ago and I had waited months to do it. Now that I had, it seems I am addicted. And it wasn't only the snowshoeing, but the winter wonderland I had done it in. The problem is, where I live, there is barely any snow, definitely not enough to go snowshoeing in and not even close to a winter wonderland. The only solution I could come [...]

Whether you are camping in a tent or glamping in a yurt, things are different in the winter, than they are in the warmer seasons.

Once upon a time, I hated winter ...but then I decided to embrace it. I bought a pair of snowshoes from my favourite place Outdoors Oriented , Elektra's made by Atlas Snowshoe Compamy. Then, I waited, but the snow didn't come! I went winter glamping twice, but it wasn't cold enough for the ice to freeze to skate on, it wasn't snowy enough to snowshoe and cross country skiing wasn't even an option. I was ready, [...]

Winter Camping in a Summer Tent-NYE at Mew Lake in Algonquin Park

Judging by my name, Camper Christina, it's safe to say I love camping. What my name doesn't say is that I hate the cold and am not a huge fan of snow! As I have been strictly a 3 season camper, I have never had the need for a winter tent, which in addition to cold and snow, is a big reason I didn't think I would ever go winter camping. Regardless of that, I [...]

How to build a Tipi! CamperChristina style!

Somehow the thought of winter camping never occurred to me. For one, I hate the cold, and for two, I don't really care for snow. Every year when winter arrives, I hibernate along with many other warm weathered canadians who enjoy the other 3 seasons, but know that winter is a time to catch up on movies, tv series, cleaning the house, indoor DIY projects, etc. But this year, somehow that changed. I had been [...]

Winter Glamping at Mew Lake! – Yurt Trip

If someone had told me a year ago that I would go winter camping, or glamping, in this case, I would've said they were crazy. Up until this year, it has never crossed my mind to even attempt adventuring in the snow, and now I have done it and am actually even camping in a tent for my next two trips! Being in nature in the snow is truly magical and I now understand why [...]

Peaceful Paddling in November-Lyons Creek 1

On November 29th, In Canada, lol, I set out to paddle Lyons Creek in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Yes, I was wearing snow pants, a very warm ski jacket and a toque, but I was going paddling and I was stoked!!! On Thursday I had gone to Outdoors Oriented and picked up a pair of Marmot Connect Gloves. Whenever I am at the store, I always get valuable advice from someone there, this visit was no different. [...]

You can text in texting gloves! – Outdoor Research!

After publishing my post on the Marmot Connect Gloves and finding the ones I had too large for me and not as effective as I'd like them, I spoke to my favourite outdoors store contact, Jamie at Outdoors Oriented. He advised that the gloves did indeed look too big for me and he wanted to resolve the issue for me. Hence, why I love this place so much! I went in on Thursday after work and Jamie [...]
