Last year I went on a few trips that were a couple days longer than weekend trips. As I camp so often, I try and make 3 and 4 day weekends with my vacation time, instead of taking an entire week or two off at once. That way I can enjoy being outdoors much more, in my opinion. One of these trips was a 4 day, 3 night trip [...]

Since starting my blog and youtube channel, I have gotten a lot of requests from people to see what I pack for my trips, so today I am posting what I packed for my 5 day Algonquin trip last summer. This canoe trip, was not only the longest trip I'd done solo, but also the first time I was portaging a canoe daily to get to each site. I had only portaged a canoe myself [...]

When I was little, my family rented a cottage up north, and for one whole week every summer, I was in total heaven. It was awesome and I have some very fond memories of my time there, even though sadly, we never canoed or paddled. We did do a lot of really fun things… like looking for tadpoles and frogs, trying to catch minnows in our sand pails, roasting marshmallows beside a big huge [...]

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 [...]

I had been wanting to adventure in Killarney all summer but every time I had a free weekend, the park was booked up. When I checked a few weeks ago, I finally saw a few openings. They were all with portages but after carrying my lil kayak over 3km's in Algonquin each way a few weeks ago I figured a kilometer was totally doable and something I wouldn't have an issue with. Since booking my site on [...]

When my friend and fellow blogger Joyce asked me if I wanted to do a trip to Scorch Lake with her, I said yeah! When she told me there were 3 portages totaling over 3 km's, I said ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I mean, I paddle a kayak, not a canoe, and I have portaged my small kayak, but never that far. I suggested we rent a canoe, then I thought about it for the night. Then [...]
