I have been trying to get to the Tim River for a few months now, but time and other plans just wouldn't allow it. Well, to be completely honest, I attempted to go to the Tim the Sunday before, but after driving an hour to get there, I realized I had left my money at home, so I had to drive back home as I wouldn't have had enough gas to return all the way [...]

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of spending some time with my favorite friends in the Kawarthas at their property. I met Karen online through posts following the journey of the Woods Explorers and we had both applied for the dream job the advertised. We hit it off and always said we would get together and last year, we finally did just that. I was invited back again this year, and so happy [...]

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 year I went on my first solo trip in the backcountry. It was at The Massasauga and it was awesome and I have been wanting to go back. I had every intention of spending last weekend at home. Well my new home in Port Carling, but on Friday around 1pm, I was advised I could go home early. So at 3pm, I decided to call it a day and packed up my camping gear. [...]
