I had an amazing time this past weekend at the Outdoor Adventure Show in Toronto . I applied to get a bloggers pass and blog about the event and I was picked! I spent two days at the show this year and it was awesome!!! Last year I was only at the event for one day and felt far too rushed. This year I was able to see all the booths I wanted to, talk [...]

Before taking the Level 2 Sea Kayaking course with Ontario Sea Kayak Centre , I would've never attempted to camp out in the middle of Georgian Bay, on crown land, without being with someone who was experienced in doing so. During my entire history of backcountry camping, I have used a method called handrailing and never knew how to use a compass. I basically brought the map for the area I was in, and used landmarks, [...]

Last month when I took my level 1 Sea Kayaking Course, I had no intention of taking my level 2. If you read my Level 1 post, you would've seen that I had an amazing time at that course! The instructors were full of knowledge and tonnes of fun and I learned so much! I gained confidence in my skills, refreshed some of them and learned quite a few more. And, I met some extraordinary [...]

One year ago today, I posted my very first blog post ever! I have been camping for 2 decades and recording my experiences in various ways. One day, I thought, hey! why don't I just start a blog and share my experiences with other people. It would be amazing to have my adventures all in one place, not only for myself, but to share with others who were looking for information on the places I [...]

I've wanted to retake my kayaking course for some time now. I guess I should say 'retake' lightly as the first course I took in 2004 was not a certificate program through Paddle Canada and was only an 8 hour course, but, I did learn quite a few of the items that were on the list for the Paddle Canada Sea Kayaking Level 1 course. A few weeks ago I began researching a few places [...]

I have always wanted to go to Killbear Provincial Park. Last year I tried out 7 new Ontario Parks and loved almost every one of them. This year, the first on my list to try was Killbear! I went to the Ontario Parks Website and checked out the campground and found some sites that looked great! I contacted my friend Steph to see if she was in for doing a May 2-4 trip and she was [...]
