Have you ever gotten lost in the forest in the middle of the night? On a recent trip in the backcountry, it happened to me!

Yes, it is embarassing , but, even so, I am hoping that people will see [...]

Since my very first backcountry trip in 2001 I have been carrying a compass in my backpack on every single trip I go on. You would think that would make me smart, but the reality is, I have never learned how to use a compass. I was never in girl guides or scouts or brownies or participated in any type of class or course to show me how to use this amazing instrument. I have [...]

Hardy Lake Provincial Park is about 20 minutes from my new home. I actually came to visit it the day of my job interview, but knowing [...]
