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 [...]

In 2002, I went on my very first backcountry trip. Five days, four nights and for someone who'd barely canoed, a huge challenge. It was a loop full of portages and lots of tests and I had thought about doing it solo for quite some time now. After a great deal of thought, I came to the conclusion that doing that loop solo, just wasn't realistic or feasible, and so I put it out of [...]

As long as I can remember, I've always wanted to visit the French River. I had no idea where to go, where to access, what to see, etc and so the trip kept getting delayed. Finding myself suddenly available on the August long weekend and dying to do a 4 day solo, I decided the French River was where I would go. My awesome friend Kevin Callan had been there and had written about the [...]

My first solo backcountry trip was 2 years ago at the Massasauga Provincial Park. It was by kayak and since then I've done many solo kayaking trips and a few solo winter camping trips both by tipi and by tent. I had never gone on a solo canoe trip, however, until this past weekend. At the 150 for 150 event on Canoe Lake the weekend before Canada Day, Jon from Backcountry Custom Canoes answered my [...]
