I find it absolutely amazing how much adventure I can pack into a short trip, this one, being only 18 hours from put in to take out. As some of you may know, I recently purchased a house in Muskoka, after over 2 years of looking, and have been doing renovations on it for a few weeks now. There is a lot left to do, but summer is also here, I've missed 5 months of [...]

On July 8th, I moved into a new house and finally saw my belongings after having them in storage for over 2 years. Moving to Muskoka is something I do not, and don't think I ever will, regret, but it has had it's challenges for sure. All of them worth it, in my opinion, but that doesn't make them non existent. It has been a long road. After moving all of my things on Sunday, [...]

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 [...]

For my very first backcountry trip, ever, in 2002, I dehydrated all of my own food. Even back then it was popular and even more so as it was a lot harder to buy food already packaged and prepared in those foil bags like there is now. I mean, it existed but it was a lot more processed and not quite a delicious and good as the stuff they make is now. In 2002, I [...]

Last year I went on a few trips that were a couple days longer than weekend trips. As I camp so often, I try and make 3 and 4 day weekends with my vacation time, instead of taking an entire week or two off at once. That way I can enjoy being outdoors much more, in my opinion. One of these trips was a 4 day, 3 night trip [...]

Since starting my blog and youtube channel, I have gotten a lot of requests from people to see what I pack for my trips, so today I am posting what I packed for my 5 day Algonquin trip last summer. This canoe trip, was not only the longest trip I'd done solo, but also the first time I was portaging a canoe daily to get to each site. I had only portaged a canoe myself [...]

It was Sunday, February 25, Day Two of the Outdoor Adventure Show for me! I woke up feeling very tired and already having a slight headache, I wasn’t quite sure if I should just head home, or head back to the show? After getting up and getting ready, putting some peppermint oil on underneath my Lure buff, a.k.a. today's head bandage, I decided I would be good for a few hours. I was very excited to [...]

Every year about this time I get super excited because I know that it’s almost time for the Outdoor Adventure Show! It is one of my favorite events of the entire year. My first year attending was in 2016 with my mom, and last year was my second year attending. It was last year that I said to myself, next year, I will be presenting here. So, this year was extremely special to me [...]
