On my camping trip over the May long weekend, I made a homemade hamburger that I made from scratch at home. I froze that burger and then brought it on my camping trip making an avocado spread for the bun and topping it with all kinds of yummy things to make it extra tasty. Due to concussion #2 this post will be the youtube video that I created for Camper Christina Cooks - Making Homemade [...]

This weeks blog post will be directed to a video from my Camper Christina Cooks Series, Making Prosciutto Basil Tomato Pasta during my trip this summer to Tim Lake. I could write up a post on it as well, but for the cooking videos, it just seems easier to do it by video alone. I hope you enjoy this weeks post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbe5-wa1FHk If you would like to say hi, ask a question or leave [...]

On my camping trip over the May long weekend, I made strawberry pancakes using dehydratred strawberries that I made earlier in the season and topped them with my homemade maple syrup which I also made earlier this year. Due to concussion #2 and working on renovating my new house, this post will be the youtube video that I created for Camper Christina Cooks - Making Strawberry Pancakes. I hope you don't mind and that you [...]

Making Maple Candy – Eventually

When I finally finished making my maple syrup I was incredibly proud. I was also really happy, that it was over. It was a very very long process as far as the boiling went and I know that was due to my inadequate heat source but it didn't make it any less long. I was about to close the book/blog/video on the whole maple syrup series, until a friend, Terry Thomas commented on my facebook [...]

I have always been curious about how maple syrup is made. Every year around this time, my boss says, you should make maple syrup and blog about it, but I have always been too busy out on trips and hikes and exploring to give it a go. I guess I should therefore thank my concussion for this years test run. I have been unfortunately spending a lot of time at home and as the trees [...]

It was a great weekend, it was cold, it was wet, it was windy and I vowed momentarily not to camp again until next summer, but it was a total hoot! I had been in correspondence with Mike Burns who had provided me with a huge amount of advice and information regarding my recent solo trip to Killarney. I had met Mike at the 150 through another friend Derek, from Paddling Adventures Radio, a podcast [...]

Have you every wondered what it'd be like to camp with the famous Happy Camper, Kevin Callan? I did too, so I decided to find out! I had chatted with Kevin Callan a few times online at the start of 2017, as he had picked me to do a blurb on my tipi for his winter camping book. When we met at the Outdoor Adventure Show this spring in person, we shared a few stories [...]

I have had a few requests from people to do a post about food in the backcountry. Even my own mom was surprised when I told her we were having steak. What? she said... You are going into the backcountry, you should be eating hot dogs no? hahaha. Well, I could, but I don't really like hot dogs, so I figure out fun things to eat and ways to keep them from spoiling and enjoy [...]
