In November of last year I built my very own backcountry winter hot tent. I had previously built a hot tent tipi, but as I learned on a backcountry trip with my friend Ashley, the tipi would be far too difficult to take into the backcountry solo. As that was my intention at that time, I needed a tent that was lighter, smaller and feasible to take where I wanted to take it. So, I [...]

After my last backcountry trip, I had a major issue that I needed to deal with before my next trip. The issue was being caused by my painters pole. It was quite a nifty thing and I really liked the idea of it, but in reality, my friend Tierney was right. It was unstable and you didn't know if it would just suddenly collapse. She was bang on on that. On my trip backcountry camping [...]

Last year I had the great privilege of being invited to Mew Lake for New Years Eve Camping. It was one of the best New Years Eve's I've ever had! I met some extraordinary people who I've spent time with over the past year and enjoyed camping in the snow more than I thought I would. This year, I was incredibly honored to be invited to my friend Stevie's wedding, happening on New Years Eve [...]

Over the summer, I spent quite a bit of time thinking about Winter Camping. I know it might seem off but I am always looking ahead to what I want to do next and making sure I have sufficiently planned all of that out so it is not just a possibility but a reality! As many of you that have followed my winter adventures know, last year, I built my very own tipi from scratch [...]
