A few weeks before the hot tent was done, I 'd made plans to take it out into the backcountry with my friend Sue, from Sue's Outdoor Crew. She had spent the weekend before making a sled so she could carry her gear on it and some of the items needed for our weekend. The day before our trip, we had some issues locating a good spot to camp as it's very difficult to find [...]

At this time of year, I have been heading out on day trips on the weekends so that I can spend more time at home at the computer. Yes, it sucks a bit, and YES I am dying to go camping... but sometimes you have to take what you can get. With an upcoming presentation at the KW Canoe Symposium that I am thrilled about, gear reviews due for the brand I ambassador for, Ultimate [...]

It was Thanksgiving weekend, 2001 and I did a backcountry trip backpacking in to Bucholtz Lake on the Eastern Pines Backpacking Trail in Algonquin Park. I had a -5 sleeping bag and I remember I was laying there wearing all the clothes I had brought in, including my jacket, in my sleeping bag and I was frozen solid. All I wanted to do was be warm but there was no way I was walking out [...]

I woke up Saturday morning around 6am with nothing planned for the day. I was just going to relax, catch up on blog posts and maybe watch a few movies. Unfortunately, my brain was not in agreement of any of those things. It was supposed to be really cold out, about -30 with the windchill but sunny and I just had to get outside anyways! Since my last trip at the end of December, testing [...]

I have heard of Limberlost but only vaguely and had never been there. A new friend from Port Carling asked me if I'd like to go snowshoeing there and I was totally up for it! I had just camped for a few days at Mew Lake in the Tipi and headed straight to Limberlost Forest and Nature Reserve from Algonquin Park. The roads were a bit crazy and snow covered but we were going [...]

It's hard to believe that only 9 months ago, I had my first visit to Silent Lake! It was a wonderful experience and I was hoping for more of the same this trip. I had planned on going for just one night when I discovered yurt #5, the same one I stayed in, in March, was open, but there is a two night minimum for booking yurts, so I took it for two. I [...]

One year ago today, I posted my very first blog post ever! I have been camping for 2 decades and recording my experiences in various ways. One day, I thought, hey! why don't I just start a blog and share my experiences with other people. It would be amazing to have my adventures all in one place, not only for myself, but to share with others who were looking for information on the places I [...]

Have you ever wanted to climb a wall of ice? For me the answer is "ABSOLUTELY!" A few months ago I went on a waterfall trip to see some frozen waterfalls in the Hamilton area. Tiffany Falls, a gorgeous sight frozen was my favourite of the three I visited that day. Upon doing research for the blog post, I discovered that people actually climb it in the winter. WHAT? For real? How cool is [...]

It was a gorgeous Saturday morning when I embarked on my adventure to visit Sherman Falls. Out of all the falls in Hamilton, this one was special to me, as it and I boast the same name! Well, mine is spelled slightly more complicated, but audibly they are one in the same! Located in Ancaster Village, Sherman falls is a 17 metre high curtain waterfall that is a feature along the area's Bruce Trail. According [...]

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 [...]
