I had not camped in Algonquin Park since February when it was minus 42. It was time to change that. My roommate Molly had been asking me to take her on a backcountry trip with me since we'd met, and this is the weekend we decided on. As Molly has never backcountry camped previously, I didn't want to do anything too difficult, plus we only had 2 days and one night to spend somewhere. After [...]

Before taking the Level 2 Sea Kayaking course with Ontario Sea Kayak Centre , I would've never attempted to camp out in the middle of Georgian Bay, on crown land, without being with someone who was experienced in doing so. During my entire history of backcountry camping, I have used a method called handrailing and never knew how to use a compass. I basically brought the map for the area I was in, and used landmarks, [...]

For the last few years since purchasing my kayak I have been playing the foam blocks game. I put them on the car, then I put my boat on them, then I strap the boat down, reverse, repeat, reverse, repeat. Except for three times now where I've forgotten to take the foam blocks off and they have ended up somewhere else, possibly with someone else. I have no clue why 2 foam blocks cost $40, [...]
