I have always wanted to do a winter backcountry trip in Killarney, but due to the tipi being so heavy and not having a clue where to go, I hadn't made it there as of yet. Over the summer, I had stopped in to visit the lovely staff at the office at George Lake. I was doing a 5 day, 4 night solo trip and I had a few questions. I got all the answers [...]

A few weeks before the hot tent was done, I 'd made plans to take it out into the backcountry with my friend Sue, from Sue's Outdoor Crew. She had spent the weekend before making a sled so she could carry her gear on it and some of the items needed for our weekend. The day before our trip, we had some issues locating a good spot to camp as it's very difficult to find [...]

I completed my new backcountry hot tent just in time for the weekend. It was a tough and stressful week, but I made it and I was super excited! I had created a new hot tent recently to use in the backcountry as my DIY Tipi was just too heavy. Before I took it out into the backcountry though, I wanted to test it out somewhere safe, so as with past trials, I decided to [...]

In November 2015, I built a DIY Tipi hot tent. It is awesome and I love it dearly, but unfortunately, the tipi is not made for the backcountry. I took it on a few small trips last year and very quickly realized it weighs a tonne. I hadn’t realized how much until I had made a statistics sheet about it for winter in the wild and was amazed to see that it weighed about 65 lbs and with [...]

Last year I had the great privilege of being invited to Mew Lake for New Years Eve Camping. It was one of the best New Years Eve's I've ever had! I met some extraordinary people who I've spent time with over the past year and enjoyed camping in the snow more than I thought I would. This year, I was incredibly honored to be invited to my friend Stevie's wedding, happening on New Years Eve [...]

It's hard to believe that only 9 months ago, I had my first visit to Silent Lake! It was a wonderful experience and I was hoping for more of the same this trip. I had planned on going for just one night when I discovered yurt #5, the same one I stayed in, in March, was open, but there is a two night minimum for booking yurts, so I took it for two. I [...]

Family day weekend boasted record low temperatures in Ontario. I decided to go camping at Mew Lake in Algonquin Park, in a summer tent, and at -42, it was a rough but surprisingly fun weekend. There were many circumstances that brought me to the Winter in the Wild Festival in Algonquin Park, as I was expected at Macgregor Point Provincial Park. Unfortunately, neither of my camping partners could make the trip, leaving me with two [...]
