Every time I look at a calendar, I feel a sense of panic. It's AUGUST! It's August and one of my two most favorite months of the year to camp, September being the most favorite. I need to go, go go and I can't stop. I have to get out. That is what I hear, constantly in my head. Not only is it August, but I missed 5 months of camping due to 2 concussions [...]

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, [...]

I left off in Part 1 on my beautiful site on Bentshoe Lake in the Haliburton Highlands Water Trails. It was Saturday May 19th, and my friend Sean from Padding Adventures Radio was on his way to visit and spend the day in the rain with me, doing some kayaking, fishing and catching up. I collected some firewood after breakfast and waited for my friend Sean from Paddling Adventures Radio to arrive. Sean had just [...]

The May long weekend was on the way and I had no plans. I decided it was finally time to get out and do a trip. My concussion was still lingering slightly but I had improved greatly and figured a quiet, easy, relaxing trip shouldn’t be too difficult. I booked a site in the Haliburton Highlands Water Trails on Bentshoe Lake. I had actually done my first kayak camp of last year there and knew [...]

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 [...]

With months of anticipation, the day had finally come! The Outdoor Adventure Show was in Toronto and I was ready to go! By recommendation of my friend at Ontario Trails, this show was a great place to network and meet contacts and with my blog CamperChristina.com still in it's first year, I wanted to make the best impression possible. I contacted my friend Stacey to help me design a logo, which would be used to put [...]
