A “bear barrel” that is not bear proof sounds like a problem until you understand what it is really for. We sit down with Andy Baxter, owner of Recreational Barrel Works, and talk through the real-world reasons paddlers rely on barrels for backcountry canoe camping: keeping food dry, keeping smells contained, and cutting down on the critter chaos that can wreck a campsite. Along the way, Andy shares the kind of tripping stories you only earn through distance, weather, and the occasional route that turns into a bushwhack.
We trade memories from Algonquin Park style portaging to a smoother payback paddle down the Key River and out along Georgian Bay. Andy also breaks down what happens on remote fly-in routes north of Red Lake when the “portage” is basically a rumour. The physical effort is one thing, but the bigger challenge is the mental math when your planned kilometres stop being realistic and you have to slow down, stay safe, and adjust without letting frustration take over.
Then we nerd out on paddling gear design in Canada: why Recreational Barrel Works started in 2001, how canoe packs and lightweight waterproof liners solve everyday packing problems, and why a truly waterproof map case needs the right zipper and real testing. If you care about canoe tripping gear, food storage, bear safety habits, and smart solutions built by paddlers who actually use them, you’ll get plenty to take back to your next trip. Subscribe, share the episode with a canoe buddy, and leave a review with your go-to food storage setup.

A paddleboard in the backcountry sounds like a stunt until you hear the method behind it. We sit down with Marybeth from Paddle Adventurer, an adventure guide and outdoor content creator who’s been running backcountry stand-up paddleboard trips for years and showing Canadians what’s possible with an inflatable SUP and the right skills.
We get practical about what makes backcountry paddleboarding work: choosing a durable inflatable board, understanding volume and weight limits, packing so your camping gear stays secure on the deck, and using bungees, D-rings, and smart weight placement to help your board track straight. Marybeth also explains why you don’t always need to stand, how kneeling or adding a seat changes stability, and why practising falling off and self rescue is part of responsible paddling, not an afterthought.
Safety comes up again and again, from Transport Canada requirements like PFDs and whistles to leash choices, including quick release systems for moving water. Marybeth also shares what winter paddling looks like on Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes, why shoreline ice can be deceptively dangerous, and how to decide when turning back is the best call. Along the way, we talk about learning in public, embracing failure, and trying new things even when you feel like Bambi on day one.
If you like canoe camping, SUP touring, outdoor safety, Ontario paddling routes, or you just want a new way to get outside, you’ll get both inspiration and real-world tactics here. Subscribe, share this with a paddling friend, and leave a review with your biggest question about backcountry paddleboarding.

The Spanish River has a way of teaching fast. On days three and four of our canoe trip, we went from “pretty comfortable on lakes” to getting humbled by rockered whitewater boats that love to wander. With about 25 kilometres on day three, we felt every little twitch in the hull, zigzagged more than we’d like to admit, and learned how much energy it takes to find a clean rhythm when the boat is built to turn. The good news: moving water gives back. Once we started trusting the current and making smarter choices, the kilometres stopped feeling impossible.
A big part of the growth came from structured practice. Beth coached us through ferry angles, eddy entries, and the kind of boat control that turns swifts from stressful to satisfying. We also talk candidly about mistakes, including dumping three times over four days and the fully loaded swim that came down to miscommunication, a bad angle, and one classic error: grabbing the gunnels. If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens to your gear in a flip, we get into what stayed put, what popped out, and why packing discipline matters on river trips.
We wrap with the practical stuff that doesn’t make highlight reels but absolutely matters: low water scraping, getting hung up, spacing your group so nobody is out of reach, and the value of a guided trip where the guide can also cook. (Bill’s camp meals deserve their own segment.) If you’re planning a Spanish River canoe trip, levelling up your moving-water skills, or just want an honest triplog with real lessons, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a paddling buddy, and leave a review so more Canadian campers can find us.

Smoke-choked skies, waves breaking over the canoe, and a plan that has to work even when there’s no cell signal. That’s the reality of the kind of wilderness canoe tripping Eric and Hillary from Tailwinds North love most, and they join us to share what it actually takes to travel farther off the beaten path without turning every day into a crisis.
We start with how their story grows from paddling around Bancroft and Algonquin into bigger routes like the Yukon River, the Snake River, and a fly-in canoe trip to the East Arm of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. They walk us through the trip planning process they use each winter: researching maps and trip reports, checking satellite imagery, sorting logistics like boats and access, and then getting into the gritty details of backcountry food prep and dehydrated meals. If you’ve ever wondered how people make 11 to 15 day trips feel manageable, you’ll hear the systems and habits that make the difference.
Then the conversation turns to the moments that test your judgement. Eric and Hillary describe paddling through heavy wildfire smoke in the Yukon and how they used an inReach device, firefighter guidance, and constant observation to stay safe. We also unpack a humbling Great Slave Lake launch that goes sideways fast, plus what they learned about wind, cold water, spray decks, and when to call it and head for shore. Along the way we talk flatwater versus whitewater, fishing plans that assume you’ll catch nothing, and why time is the hardest resource to budget.
If you’re into canoe camping, remote paddling routes, Ontario Crown land, or Yukon and Northwest Territories adventures, you’ll leave with practical planning tips and a clearer sense of what “prepared” really means.

A train drops us at Cartier, we heave canoes and packs onto the gravel, and suddenly we’re committed. No road noise, no easy exits, just a rail stop, a portage, and the start of our Spanish River canoe trip. We’re Tim and Thomas, and we’re recording from camp on a cool, overcast June day in Northern Ontario with rapids behind us and a whole lot of bug pressure in the air.
We break down the travel day in plain language: the train timing, meeting other riders, unloading fast, and paddling roughly four to five kilometres into a beautiful campsite with space for tents and the all-important no-bug zones. If you’re planning a backcountry canoe trip, you’ll hear what actually mattered for comfort and safety, from bug shirts and spray to the raincoats we ended up wearing despite the forecast.
Then we get to the good stuff: camp food that keeps morale high. Think ribs, sausages, cornbread, and a next-morning breakfast wrap that makes getting on the water feel easy. From there, we shift into whitewater canoeing practice, using simple shore-side explanations to talk eddies, crossings, and the fundamentals we’re trying to nail down, including momentum, initiation, tilt, and hold. Yes, there’s intentional swimming, and yes, there’s also the other kind.

The internet makes backcountry adventure look effortless, but the real story is usually messier, colder, and a lot more human. We sit down with Marty Morissette to talk about what happens when the season of life that built your outdoor identity shifts under your feet and how you choose what to carry forward.
We dig into the Hamilton Adventure Expo, the outdoor community that keeps people coming back, and why Marty builds his talks around storytelling instead of “perfect” trip reports. He shares how a mentor’s stories lit the spark when he was 12, and why sharing your own camping stories, canoe tripping lessons, and first-time nerves can quietly change someone else’s path. Along the way we talk family camping, teaching kids outdoors skills, and the leadership, resilience, and resourcefulness that show up when the weather turns or the day gets long.
Then we go behind the scenes of outdoor content creation: planning trips for the shot, repeating paddling sections, chasing clean audio, and the constant trade-off of capturing the moment versus living it. Marty opens up about burnout after years of heavy work hours, how teenagers and privacy reshaped what filming felt like, and why stepping back from the camera helped him rediscover simple joy on the river, including whitewater playboating on the Ottawa River.
If you care about Canadian camping, work-life balance, and building an outdoor lifestyle that lasts, you’ll find plenty to take home. Subscribe, share this with a camping friend, and leave a review. What season are you in right now, and what are you choosing to keep?

A canoe shop owner admitting he’s not in the “canoe business” so much as the “canoe logistics business” is the kind of honesty we love, and it’s exactly where this chat goes. We’re recording live from the Hamilton Adventure Expo with Greg Robertson from Organic Boat Shop, with a classic Ontario snow dump on the way, and somehow that makes everything feel even more Canadian: planning paddling season while bracing for winter.
We get into how outdoor shows kick-start trip planning, gear research, and that first spark of motivation to book time off and map routes. Greg breaks down the real rhythm of canoe sales in Canada, why winter buyers move slower, and how a mid-season pause can hit your numbers hard when fall arrives and you’re suddenly “out of sight, out of mind”. If you’ve ever wondered why lead times, delivery schedules, and testing boats can be tricky, this pulls back the curtain in a practical way.
From there we shift into the family side of building an outdoor brand. Greg talks about his wife Jody coming into the business full-time, how that changes operations, and why their French River rental and cabin-based day-trip model helps more people say yes to canoe camping even if they don’t want to sleep on the ground anymore. We also touch ORCKA courses, guided trips, and the gear details that never make it into glossy photos: composite boat storage, outfitting work, skid plates, and even a 21-foot freighter canoe that might end up on a trailer with a motor.

Ontario just opened the door to drinking throughout provincial parks, not only at your own campsite, and we can’t stop thinking about what that changes on the ground. We’re Pamela and Tim from Supergoodcamping.com, and while we understand the appeal of relaxing outdoors, we’re worried the new Ontario Parks alcohol rules will bring more than “summer vibes.” When alcohol shows up on trails, at busy beaches, and around launch points, it can shift a park from peaceful to unpredictable, especially for families who come for quiet, nature, and a sense of shared respect.
We dig into the government’s stated reasons like boosting tourism and supporting the economy, then pressure-test that logic against a reality most campers know well: Ontario Parks reservations are already hard to get and many parks are sold out months ahead. We also talk about what the old campsite restriction meant in practice, what “responsible consumption” looks like in a provincial park setting, and why permission structures matter even if many people already bend the rules.
From broken glass and litter to swimming and paddling while impaired, we lay out the safety risks that can show up fast in day-use areas. Then we get into the part that really worries us: enforcement and emergency response. Park rangers are already stretched, some park offices are closing, and rural EMS and hospitals can be far away. If drinking expands but resources don’t, who keeps people safe and who cleans up the mess?
Listen through, then tell us where you land on this change. Subscribe, share the episode with a camping friend, and leave a review so more Canadians who love provincial parks can join the conversation.

Old growth forest, forgotten portages, and the kind of canoe routes that only exist as long as people keep travelling them. We’re live at the Hamilton Adventure Expo talking with Mike from Friends Of Temagami, a 100% volunteer-driven nonprofit founded in 1995 that works to protect Temagami’s remaining old growth and keep backcountry access from quietly disappearing.
Mike breaks down what stewardship looks like in practice: choosing where trail maintenance matters most, clearing tough routes in places like Solace Wildlands, improving campsites, and installing thunder boxes they build themselves. We also get into the nuts-and-bolts details that make volunteer time count, including winter snowmobile runs to stage heavy gear so it doesn’t have to be portaged later, plus summer maintenance trips to fix hazards like rotted boardwalk and old spikes.
The conversation widens into community and culture too. Mike shares how Friends Of Temagami supports a September changing-of-the-season ceremony connected to Temagami First Nation, and why protecting “ancient trails” is about memory, respect, and keeping routes from being lost to overgrowth. If you love Ontario canoe camping, Temagami travel, portage routes, and real conservation work, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of how the park stays wild and welcoming.
Subscribe, share this with a paddling friend, and leave a review if you want more stories from the people doing the work that keeps Temagami open.

Your phone shows sunshine, the clouds look wrong, and you’re two days deep into the backcountry with no signal. Now imagine the one tool that could confirm what’s coming next goes silent. That’s the gut-level concern we dig into as we talk about Environment and Climate Change Canada winding down the weather radio network and pushing Canadians toward online updates like the WeatherCAN app and the ECCC website.
We get specific about why weather radio has mattered for camping safety in Canada, not just as a nice-to-have, but as a battery-powered, over-the-air backup when cell towers fail, the internet drops, or the power goes out. We also unpack the bigger impact beyond recreation: rural, remote, and Indigenous communities can be left more vulnerable when essential alerts assume reliable connectivity. Even in urban areas near major water like Lake Ontario, we’ve leaned on weather radio during messy conditions and outages.
Then we shift from rant to readiness. We share practical workarounds you can actually use: pre-trip planning with SpotWX using precise coordinates, building redundancy with satellite communicators like Garmin, caching offline radar and wind layers with the Windy app, and saving forecasts via screenshots or printouts before you lose service. We’re honest about forecast limits after a few days and why learning basic “read the sky” skills is still part of being competent outdoors.
If you care about backcountry preparedness, emergency weather alerts, and how public safety changes ripple into real trips, you’ll want this one. Subscribe, share it with a camping buddy, and leave a review with your go-to weather backup plan.

A stranger walks up holding an old canoe book and says, “You signed this to my dad 35 years ago.” Minutes later, Kevin Callan signs it again for the next generation and the whole Hamilton Adventure Expo suddenly feels like a small world. That’s where our livestream chat begins, and it sets the tone for a conversation about how canoe camping stories stick, how outdoor skills get passed along, and why community is the real reason these shows matter.
We dig into Kevin’s idea of “ultimate canoe routes” and why he opens his talk by saying the best trip is the next one. Then we get specific: Algonquin’s Brent Run, a loop around Killarney, Lake Superior’s Bustard Islands, Kejimkujik in Nova Scotia, and even Scotland’s River Spey. If you’re looking for canoe route inspiration, paddling trip planning ideas, or just a reminder that repeat trips can still feel brand new, this one delivers.
We also go behind the scenes on outdoor writing and Canadian publishing. Kevin shares what it’s like to hit 20 books, how rewarding it is when kids show up already excited about what they learned, and how printing and shipping across the Canada US border can turn sales into losses overnight. We talk honest numbers on royalties, why self-publishing can make sense, and the simple advice that matters most: write the book first.
If you enjoy real talk about paddling, camping, and making a life around the outdoors, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves canoe trips, and leave a review so more Canadian campers can find the show.

A carbon fibre canoe paddle can sound like something meant for elite racers, but Chris from Ripple FX Paddles makes a convincing case that the right design is actually about making paddling simpler, smoother, and less punishing on your body. We’re live at the Hamilton Adventure Expo as he shares what it’s like to bring a new gear business into the real world, talk face-to-face with trippers, and watch people’s reactions when they pick up an eight-ounce paddle for the first time.
We get into the story behind Ripple FX, starting with an intense Muskoka River race that turned discomfort into obsession, friendships, and a desire to go faster and farther. When Chris’s first carbon paddle arrived broken, he used it as a blueprint and taught himself composite building through trial, error, and relentless iteration. Along the way, he learned how bent shaft ergonomics can keep your top hand lower, reduce shoulder strain, and support sit-and-switch efficiency for long-distance canoe tripping and marathon-style paddling.
Durability also gets a deep dive, especially for shallow-water routes where bottom strikes can chip blades and lead to delamination. Chris explains a replaceable fiberglass wear sleeve that can be epoxied on, worn down, and swapped out later, plus the kinds of strength tests he runs in the shop and the few things you simply shouldn’t do with a lightweight composite paddle. If you care about canoe camping gear, backcountry performance, and smart design that’s easy to live with, you’ll get a lot from this conversation. Subscribe, share the episode with a paddling buddy, and leave a review. What’s the one piece of canoe gear you’d never head out without?

Your meals can make or break a camping trip and most problems start before you even leave the driveway. We walk through the no-drama way we plan and prep food so we can spend more time hiking, paddling, swimming, and hanging out with the kids, and less time digging through a soggy cooler. Tim shares his old-school grid method for mapping breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks by day, plus how that single sheet of paper prevents overpacking, forgotten ingredients, and last-minute “what’s for dinner” stress.
We get practical about the difference between car camping and backcountry camping meals, including how long fresh food can realistically last and how to stretch it with smarter ingredients like smoked meats, smoked cheese, tortillas, and hardy produce. We also dig into cooler strategy: layering food by day, choosing a quality cooler, using a dedicated drinks cooler, and why block ice outlasts cubes. If you want a lightweight hack for backcountry trips, we explain how freezing water bags can keep food cold early on and then get dumped as they melt to reduce pack weight.
From foil-packet dinners and make-ahead chili to pancake mix shortcuts, trail snacks, and classic campfire desserts, we keep the focus on simple camping recipes that match your cooking gear and your weather. If you like practical camping tips, meal prep tricks, and real-world advice for family camping, subscribe, share this with a camping buddy, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

A long haul trip can hand you the best view of your life, then toss you onto an overnight bus that makes you question every choice you’ve ever made. We sit down with Toronto author and Fly Travel Radio host Melissa Rodway to talk about the kind of travel stories that don’t fit on a postcard: chaos in Southeast Asia, the strange kindness of strangers, and the moments that turn into the memories you keep for decades.
We also get practical. Melissa shares how she builds meaningful adventure into a regular working life, including taking time off without pretending you need to “quit everything” to travel. We dig into budget travel strategies like self guided planning, finding local operators, house sitting, and volunteering, plus how the internet makes research easier while still requiring smart screening. If you’ve ever searched for affordable travel tips, solo travel confidence, or how to plan a trip without feeling like an imposter, you’ll feel seen here.
Closer to home, we celebrate Canada as a top tier outdoor travel destination, from Ontario canoe country to the culture and winter energy of Québec City and the pull of PEI. Along the way, Melissa challenges influencer perfection and the myth that experienced travellers always have it together. We love this conversation because it’s human, funny, and grounded, and it’ll leave you with a clearer sense of what adventure can look like at any age.

Ontario camping can be magical right up until the black flies find you. We get honest about what really happens from May to mid-July and beyond, then lay out a simple, workable bug plan you can actually use on your next canoe trip, backcountry route, or family car-camping weekend.
We start with a few shout outs from the broader camping community, including a lightweight carbon fibre paddle we’re excited to test on an upcoming Spanish River trip, and an epic Canada By Canoe challenge aiming to break the world record for the longest single-season canoe trip while raising money for True North Aid. We also recap a presentation-heavy backcountry canoe symposium at the Canadian Canoe Museum and a Camp Kitchen gathering where food, gear, and good people all collide in the best way.
Then we dig into Ontario bug season survival: when black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, horseflies, ticks, and midges tend to peak, what attracts them, and what helps most. We talk DEET vs icaridin (picaridin), why physical barriers like bug shirts, head nets, and screened shelters often beat gimmicks, and why dense fabric, tight cuffs, and even pants tucked into socks can save your sanity. We also share campsite selection lessons, from avoiding calm water and deep shade to understanding why that “perfect” empty site might be empty for a reason. We even explore a curious idea about why some people seem to attract more bites than others.
If you’ve ever planned a trip around bugs or had them wreck a campsite, you’ll feel seen and you’ll leave with a clearer strategy. Subscribe, share this with your favourite camping partner, leave a review, and tell us what bug is your personal nemesis.

A good wilderness trip can change your mood in a single day, but planning one can feel like a puzzle: where do you go, what’s realistic with kids, and how remote is too remote? From the floor of the Hamilton Adventure Expo, I’m flying solo while Pamela rides out a storm at home, and I sit down with Robin Sutherland of Northern Skies Resort to talk through a northern Ontario getaway that blends real backcountry energy with practical comfort.
Robin walks me through Northern Skies Resort in Algoma Country, set on spring-fed Chub Lake and surrounded by crown land, rivers, and the kind of quiet that makes you breathe slower. We get into what guests actually do when they arrive: cabin life, lake days, paddling, fishing, and that easy “step outside and you’re in it” feeling that’s hard to find in busier cottage country.
Then we head deeper into the story: their hike-and-paddle backcountry cabin in an unserviced provincial park, accessed by a 7.5 km route with two lake crossings and staged canoes so you don’t have to portage. Robin explains how a wood stove, propane cooktop, and sauna create a rare mix of rugged and cozy, and why that matters for families, first-timers, and anyone who wants the backcountry without the full ordeal. We also talk about taking over a family-run resort during COVID, how Ontario tourism shifted, and what it means to be the fourth generation caring for a place built in the 1940s.
If you’re searching for a cottage resort in Northern Ontario, a backcountry cabin near Algoma, or fresh camping inspiration, this chat is for you. Subscribe, share the episode with a camping buddy, and leave a review telling us your ideal level of “comfort in the wild.”

Your phone shows a dot on a screen until it doesn’t and that’s usually the exact moment the trail splits or the shoreline stops making sense. We’re Pamela and Tim from SuperGoodCamping.com, and we’re on a mission to help families get outside with more confidence. Map skills aren’t old-school trivia; they’re the difference between a stressful guess and a calm, clear choice when you’re hiking, camping, or paddling with no service.
We dig into why paper maps still matter, especially in places where coverage is dodgy or disappears fast. We compare the map types you’ll actually see on real trips: simple Ontario Parks park maps for car camping, trail maps for day hikes, and topographic maps for backcountry travel and canoe routes where contour lines and portages matter. We also talk digital navigation tools like AllTrails, Gaia GPS, maps.me, and Avenza, plus how downloading maps ahead of time and carrying a battery pack turns your phone into a helpful backup instead of your only plan. Satellite imagery can add context too, as long as it supports rather than replaces a proper map.
Then we make map reading feel doable: orienting your map with a compass or the sun, matching landmarks to what you see around you, understanding scale so “not far” doesn’t become a two-hour slog, and using contour lines to avoid surprise climbs. We share practical habits, common mistakes, and a quick pre-trip checklist, plus why good navigation supports Leave No Trace by keeping you from wandering off trail. If you want to feel grounded in the outdoors and teach your kids a skill that makes camping more fun, this one’s for you.
Subscribe for more simple camping skills, share this with a friend who relies on their phone, and leave a review with your best navigation tip or your funniest “wrong turn” story.

A canoe trip can be a quick highlight reel, or it can be a true short film that feels like you’re sitting in the boat, hearing the water, and watching the light change minute by minute. We sit down with Pete Park from Latitude Wilderness Films to get the inside story behind The Canoeist, his new cinematic wilderness film built around a solo paddler’s journey for peace, solitude, and meaning far from cell service and noise.
Pete shares why he wanted to go beyond the usual first-person canoe tripping format and instead craft a poetic story told through voiceover, ambience, and carefully planned shots. We get specific on outdoor filmmaking and canoe film production: the Lumix G85 and GoPro setup for rapids, how he captures slow motion with the right frame rates, and why clean audio matters as much as stunning visuals. He also explains the realities of shooting in Ontario’s French River and Georgian Bay delta channels, including continuity problems, multiple takes on the same rapid, and the rare gift of perfect late-September conditions.
The heart of the conversation is the “why” behind the camera. Pete talks about writing narration after filming so the script grows out of real moments, including an unexpected misty morning sequence that became a centrepiece. He also reflects on weaving in David’s personal story, the film’s dedication, and how long-term editing can shape a more honest outdoor story.
Watch The Canoeist when it premieres on YouTube (Latitude Wilderness Films) and tell us what scene hits you the hardest. Subscribe, share the episode with a paddling buddy, and leave a review so more campers and canoeists can find the show.

The difference between a good camping trip and a great one is usually a few minutes of research. We’ve both shown up thinking we made a smart choice, only to learn the hard way that “quiet” depends on where your site sits, what the washrooms are like, and whether you accidentally booked beside the generator crowd.
We walk through how we research a camping destination step by step, from choosing the right park based on driving time, crowd levels, dog friendliness, and the best season to go. We share where we actually look for reliable info: Ontario Parks and Parks Canada websites, campground maps, Google Maps satellite view, travel blogs, YouTube campground walkthroughs, and campsite photo communities that show you what a booking page never will.
Then we get practical about what to check before you click Reserve: privacy ratings, sun versus shade, distance to water, proximity to playgrounds and boat launches, and the little things that can make a site noisy or smelly. We also dig into amenities and facilities like toilet types, comfort stations, drinking water access, firewood quality, camp stores, laundry, boat launches, and RV dump stations. If you’re thinking about backcountry camping, we cover the essentials too: permits, route difficulty, portages, water sources and filtration, bear activity, navigation, offline maps, and tools like AllTrails and Gaia GPS, plus weather, bugs, water levels, and fire bans.
If you want more hidden gems and fewer surprises, come camp with us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s planning a trip, and leave a review so more campers can find the show.

What if camp food didn’t taste like compromise? We sit down with Camp Kitchen’s trio—chef-driven recipes, camera in hand, design chops at the ready—and trace how a home-based certified kitchen turned into a thousand-meal launch at the Hamilton Adventure Expo. This is a ground-up build: dense proteins cut to rehydrate on time, short noodles that won’t pulverize in a pack, and breakfasts that greet you with a wave of berry aroma the instant hot water hits the bag.
Tyler walks us through the freeze-drying science that keeps flavour intact and safety tight, from pre- and post-cycle tray weights to vacuum sensors that call the end of a run. We dig into the R&D wins and misses that shaped the menu—why meatballs became bolognese, why broccoli behaves, and how a chef’s obsession with texture pays off at a soggy portage or windswept campsite. Tosh shares the personal story behind their jambalaya, born from cold army rations and reborn by a campfire with real shrimp, chicken, and sausage that actually come back to life in the bowl. Cassy opens the curtain on the brand’s look: in-house photography, Illustrator nights, and packaging that had to be ready days before launch.
We also explore the local heartbeat of the food. Red fife flour—nutty, earthy, proudly Peterborough—anchors a shoreline fish flour and a bannock mix that turn a pan into a celebration. Their “campfire essentials” and oatmeals can ship Canada-wide, while meat-based meals focus on Ontario as the team scales production toward CFIA approval and wholesale. Between defrost cycles and order pickups, we compare trip notes: ice fishing dates, low-water river routes, family paddles before a new baby, and the Ontario backcountry access we often take for granted.
If you care about real ingredients, reliable rehydration, and supporting Ontario-made outdoor food, you’ll find practical insights and trail-ready ideas here.

Frost on the tent, mist on the lake, and a quiet trail all to yourself—edge-season camping can be magic if you prepare for it. We break down how to stay warm, dry, and confident through early spring, late fall, or a surprise cold snap, drawing on decades of trips and a few hard-won lessons.
We start by defining what shoulder season really looks like: freeze–thaw cycles, mud and slush, shortened daylight, and the way wet gear can turn a good plan sideways. From there, we dive into practical systems. You’ll hear how to pick a sleeping bag rated well below the forecast, why doubling up sleeping pads boosts R-value, and how a boiled water bottle becomes a foot warmer that preheats your bag and chases damp. We compare down versus synthetic in real-world moisture, and explain why ventilation inside the tent matters as much as warmth.
Clothing strategy takes centre stage with the no-sweat rule: start cool, manage heat with zippers and vents, and keep dry sleep layers sacred. We talk waterproof boots, tall gaiters, sock rotation, and the underrated move of sleeping with boot liners to dodge a frozen morning. On the kitchen front, we unpack stove performance in the cold, when to favour liquid fuel over canisters, and smart hydration habits when cold dulls your thirst. Safety gets a full segment—thin ice, collapsing snow bridges, fast water—and we share a family hypothermia scare to highlight early signs and quick interventions.
Finally, we offer a roadmap for who should try shoulder-season trips and how to start: begin with car camping, check the forecast right before departure, keep an exit plan simple, and rent specialized gear to test before buying. The payoff is real—sharper skills, steadier mindset, wilder wildlife encounters, and campgrounds that feel like your own private retreat. If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves quiet trails, and leave a review to tell us your best cold-weather tip.

The show floor is buzzing, but we carve out a quiet corner to trade notes with Will from Bowman Gear—a maker who turns fabric and stubborn ideas into gear that actually solves trail problems. From the first cut to the final stitch, Will walks us through two and a half months of prep for the Hamilton Adventure Expo, including a two-week, all-in push and a smart shop setup that brought his family into the flow. This isn’t factory talk; it’s real-world craft where every seam has a reason and every pocket earns its place.
We dig into the Rio—a compact, water-resistant bag that shifts roles from waist pack to battle bag—and the Sentry, a field wallet that keeps first aid or wire kits tidy. Then we go practical: how a Tortuga pack becomes better with a stretch pocket for fast bottle grabs; how a clean sheath can tame an axe and saw; why a soot-proof stove bag still needs to glide instead of snag. The theme is modular design and user-centred thinking: reduce friction, speed access, and keep weight honest. Will shares how custom one-offs often become patterns ready for others, turning single problems into shared solutions.
The origin story lands close to home. A handed-down sewing machine led to repairs, then to the thrill of shaping fabric into durable tools. Friends pushed him to sell, the trail pushed him to refine, and now backpacks are the goalpost—complex, rewarding, and central to how a trip feels on your shoulders. We round out with trip plans that chase ice-out windows and slip in before bug season, swapping notes on routes, crowd timing, and why early spring rewards those who plan. If you care about small-batch manufacturing, smart pack design, and building gear that makes travel cleaner and calmer, you’ll feel right at home here.

The forest is never silent; it’s full of signals that make camping safer and more meaningful once you know how to listen. We unpack a clear, field-ready approach to wildlife tracking that swaps fear for understanding—reading prints, scat, and soundscapes to predict movement and avoid conflict. From deer edges and coyote straight-line trails to the unmistakable hand-like raccoon prints that circle docks and campsites, we show how to piece together clues and build a picture of what passed by, when, and why.
We also get into the messy but useful truth about scat: what berries, fur, seeds, and insects reveal about diet, season, and travel routes, plus why the exact placement—on trails, near water, or by your camp—signals communication or learned behaviour. Sound matters too. Alarm calls ripple across species; mating calls pulse with rhythm and seasonality; territorial songs draw boundaries without picking fights. Birds often tip you off first, and sometimes the most important sign is a sudden hush when the woods evaluate risk.
Seasonal shifts tie it all together. Spring brings nesting defence, summer spreads food and movement, fall ramps up feeding frenzies, and winter conserves every step—tracks in snow become crisp stories of energy budgets. We talk about how our habits train wildlife: repeated cooking spots, dishwater dumps, crumbs, and loose garbage create reliable rewards. The fix is simple—better storage, cleaner camps, and more distance. Use a long lens instead of stepping closer, especially near dens or young, and teach kids to observe without disturbing through whisper games and storytelling. The big takeaway: animals aren’t acting on emotion; they optimise for food, safety, and energy. When we read patterns instead of reacting to panic, we camp smarter and coexist with respect.
If this guide helped you see the trail with new eyes, subscribe, share with a friend who loves the backcountry, and leave a quick review—tell us the wildest sign you’ve ever spotted and what you think it meant.

Ever dreamed of pulling a bubbling lasagna or a crispy pizza from a campfire on day five? We sit down with Denis from Kid Product to unpack the gear that makes real backcountry cooking possible: a reflector oven that turns radiant heat into even baking, a twig stove rigid enough to hold cast iron, and smart fire tools that simplify the whole routine without adding weight.
We start with the reflector oven, a compact, fold-flat design that sits in front of your fire and works like a home oven by reflecting heat and moving air. Denis shares trail-proven meals—from shepherd’s pie to a four-pound roast beef in roughly ninety minutes—that prove you don’t have to settle for bland boil-in-bag dinners. Then we dive into twig stoves across materials: value-minded coated steel, rust-proof 316 stainless for year-round abuse, and ultralight titanium at about 140 grams for long carries and winter missions. Built with interlocking plates and no hinges, the stoves assemble easily with thin gloves and shrug off hard use. Yes, someone stood on one. It held.
We round things out with fire-starting that actually helps: ferro rods that spark in any weather, telescoping blow tubes to stoke embers from a safe distance, and a new jute tube that lights like an oversized match for steady flame. Along the way, we preview a hot tent trip to Mew Lake with a two-tent setup plus the so-called “circus tent” where stories and steam rise together. The throughline is simple—choose Canadian-made gear designed for durability, packability, and ease, then cook meals that keep spirits high deep into the trip.
If camp cooking matters to you, this conversation offers practical tips, tested gear insights, and menu inspiration to elevate your next adventure. Listen, subscribe, and leave a review to tell us the first meal you’d bake in a reflector oven.

Doors opened, snow started flying, and the Hamilton Outdoor Adventure Expo doubled down on scale and energy. We walked into two buildings packed with makers, guides, and paddlers, plus a winter courtyard alive with cooking demos, hot tents, dog sleds, and even knife forging. The growth wasn’t just bigger booths; it was deeper conversations and a stronger sense of community that’s hard to capture online.
We share how our weekend unfolded: a recording sprint with creators and speakers, a hard pivot when YouTube sabotaged our livestream audio, and the relief of clean Sunday captures on Riverside. You’ll hear the human side of content creation on a noisy floor—adapting on the fly, salvaging the best stories, and staying transparent about what we’ll re-release. Along the way, we shout out voices you know and love, from Marty Morissette and Joe Robinet to Tori Baird, Ben Beauchamp, Lure of the North, Paddling Adventures Radio, Kevin Callan, Organic Boat Shop, and Ripple Effects Paddles.
A big winter storm reshaped our plans, with Pamela staying safe at home and Tim and Thomas racing the weather to get back before the city got buried. That turn became a reminder of what unites this community: smart choices, mutual support, and a shared passion for the backcountry that beats algorithms and hype. We close with why shows like this matter for campers and canoe trippers—direct access to the people who build your gear, honest feedback from real users, and hands-on demos that teach skills you’ll actually use.
We’re rolling out the best interviews over the next few months, lining up deeper guest conversations, and planning routes for open water season. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs trail stoke, and leave a quick review so more campers can find us. Your notes and stories keep this community strong—what should we explore next?

A rusty mug that cuts your lip. A wood stove without a door. Eighty days on Great Slave Lake will make you grateful for the little things—and will redraw your map of what matters. We sat down with winter guide and Alone Season 7 alum Kielyn Marrone to unpack how survival clarity and traditional craft can turn deep cold into deep comfort.
Kielyn traces the path from competitive athlete to outdoor educator to co‑founder of Lure of the North, guiding everyone from first‑timers at a cozy base camp to hardy travellers on committing northern routes. She breaks down the traditional winter system—canvas anoraks, big snowshoes, hot tents, and freight toboggans—and why breathable, natural materials outperform heavy “cold camping” in real wilderness. We dig into her DIY roots: teaching moccasin, mitten, and anorak workshops; launching gear kits and videos; then intentionally splitting the retail side to protect the expedition focus and avoid burnout.
The conversation travels home to their off‑grid homestead built from a prospector tent and a leaking aluminum boat, now powered by a 12 kW solar array with diesel backup. Kielyn shares the unglamorous but essential systems—rotating compost, a bear‑proof garbage cage, a simple thunderbox—and why modern conveniences can live alongside primal solutions. As camp chef, she reveals how single‑ingredient freeze‑dried staples make lighter, healthier meals at scale, retaining nutrients and rehydrating fast in subzero temps.
Hear about a 73‑day snowshoe traverse from Lake Superior to James Bay, the art of pacing ten‑hour days, and the quiet headspace of walking in winter rhythm. If you care about winter camping, hot tenting, DIY gear, off‑grid living, survival lessons, or planning remote expeditions, this one is packed with field‑tested insight and hard‑earned laughs.

Think you can camp anywhere for free on Ontario’s Crown land? We dig into the real rules, the best regions, and the prep that turns a risky guess into a confident adventure. After a quick year-five milestone shoutout, we map out what Crown land actually is, why so much of it sits north of the French River, and how local restrictions shape where you can pitch a tent, light a fire, and stay legally.
We walk through the Crown Land Use Policy Atlas and the 21-day rule, including the must-move 100 metres requirement. Then we tour standout regions with very different vibes: Temagami’s classic canoe routes and remote islands, Algoma’s quieter lakes and fewer crowds, Killarney-adjacent granite shores like Philip Edward Island when reservations vanish, cottage-country pockets near Bancroft that demand careful boundary checks, and the wild northwestern stretch around Dryden and Vermilion Bay where water access and fly-ins raise the stakes. Along the way, we call out the no-services reality—no toilets, no bins, often no cell service—and what that means for wag bags, food storage, navigation skills, and first aid readiness.
This conversation is for campers who crave solitude and can handle self-reliance. We’re honest about who should embrace Crown land now—experienced paddlers, anglers, and backcountry travellers—and who should build skills in managed parks first. Expect practical, respectful advice on fire bans, Leave No Trace, logging roads, and why good etiquette keeps spots open for everyone. If you love freedom, pair it with responsibility and you’ll find the wild corners of Ontario that feel like your own.

A last-minute curveball from VIA Rail threatened to kill a long-planned Spanish River trip. We refused to pack it in. Instead, we pivoted north to the lower Temagami River, launching from Red Cedar Lake and finding warm days, calm nights, and a crew that just clicked. That shift became a reminder that great canoe trips hinge on nimble planning, weather grace, and teammates who keep it light when logistics go sideways.
We dig into what made Temagami shine, then map out Spanish River Take Two this June with a moving water certification led by an ORCKA instructor. Bill shares how becoming an ORCKA instructor transformed his own paddling—turns that used to feel “fine” suddenly needed cleaner torso rotation, tighter stern work, and better trim. Efficiency becomes the real safety net when rapids stack up. We talk guiding on the French River, especially the South Channel and five-mile rapids—quieter stretches where boat traffic fades and the landscape opens up. The theme is consistent: seek solitude, read water, and save energy for the moves that matter.
The trail talk widens to hiking windows along the Bruce Trail and Niagara Escarpment, a late-light glacier hike in Iceland, and the growing appeal of crown land access near Georgian Bay and Philip Edward Island. Overlanding gets a nod for freedom and a caution for cost. We share fishing highs and humbling blanks, including the fly rod cameo after a spinning setup sank in the French. Fly casting shines as craft and meditation, even when the net stays dry. Bill explains the cheeky origin of Thunderbox Diaries and why storytelling through images still feels like a living logbook.
Gearheads will appreciate the shoutouts: compact lights and pumps from Flextail, backcountry meals from Wanderlost Kitchen and SLY Foods that taste like real food, and a fresh collaboration with Ostrom Outdoors. Watch for a prototype debut at the Hamilton Adventure Expo at the Organic Boat Shop booth. If you love canoe tripping, whitewater progression, better trip food, and hearing how a busted plan turned brilliant, this one’s for you. Enjoy it, then share it with a paddler who needs a nudge.

Want a better definition of a “good” camping trip? Try this: safety, comfort, joy, and connection. We take a human-centred approach to planning inclusive outdoor adventures, showing how small choices—like site surfaces, seating height, and sound levels—can unlock the outdoors for every ability and energy level.
We start with place and pace: how to choose accessible frontcountry sites with firm ground, curb-free paths, and nearby washrooms; why cabins, yurts, and tent trailers make great stepping stones; and when to go “backcountry light” with short walk-ins, minimal portages, and base camps that swap daily moves for real rest. From quiet loops to shade and cell coverage, we share the little details that make a big difference when health or mobility needs are in play.
Then we dig into practical tools. Mobility-friendly gear like chairs with arms and higher seats, raised cots, walking sticks, and portable ramps reduce strain and increase independence. Activity tweaks keep the fun without the fatigue: fish from docks, observe nature from camp, or make evenings campfire-centred. For neurodivergent campers, we map out routines, campsite previews, sensory supports like dimmable lights and white noise, and reset spaces stocked with familiar bedding, fidgets, headphones, or weighted blankets. Food, medication, and power planning round out the safety net—think familiar meals with one new treat, temperature-safe med storage, clear labels, and tested backups for devices.
Healthy group dynamics hold it all together. We set expectations ahead of time, normalise opting out, assign flexible roles so everyone contributes, and practise what-if scenarios to replace worry with readiness. Caregivers get strategies to prevent burnout—rotate tasks, slow the schedule, and celebrate small wins. Start small, expect learning, and keep a backup plan. The outdoors gets better when more people can access it, and adaptive camping is how we make that happen—gracefully, thoughtfully, and together.
If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us your best adaptive camping tip. Your stories help more people feel welcome outside.

A beaver roommate, a septic disaster, and a storm barreling in at 2 p.m.—and somehow this became the most rewarding trip of the year. We sit down with Camper Christina to unpack a bold return to Quebec’s Route 61 after a confidence-shaking capsize, and follow her step by step through low-water puzzles, rocky R1s, and the moment she realized the “dump zone” was now a shallow wade. It’s a story about reading current, trusting training, and choosing to go anyway when life piles on.
We also wander through her new rural home life—three acres, a pond, and Beavy the beaver doing pond-ice sabotage—plus the realities of winter roads and near-miss lessons that sharpen situational awareness. On the creative side, Christina takes us behind the scenes on building live presentations: capturing 15+ hours of footage, crafting tight trailers, and shaping a narrative that educates without spoiling the show. Then we share a first look at Camper Christina’s Corner, a one-minute paddling story booth built from a canoe and hosted at the Hamilton Adventure Expo, with prizes from community partners and a promise to spotlight real voices all year.
Rounding it out, we talk Algonquin’s Barren Canyon as a low-portage option packed with wildlife and scenery, smart storm timing, and practical safety like wearing PFDs in cold water seasons. If you’ve ever stared at a route that once scared you, this conversation offers a map back—mixing backcountry skills, mindset resets, and a reminder that adventure thrives in imperfect windows.

What if your tent packed to a loaf of bread, your lantern doubled as a power bank, and your jacket helped manage heat without piling on layers? We dive into the gear that actually changes backcountry days: thin solar panels that keep phones and GPS units alive, ultralight shelters that shrug off storms, and smart fabrics that breathe, dry fast, and keep you moving when the weather flips.
We share real-world wins and pitfalls with panels from BioLite and Goal Zero, inflatable solar lights, and the trade-offs of flexible solar fabrics. On the sleep front, we talk Dyneema tents under two pounds, compact pads with high R-values, and down bags that compress to grapefruit size. For water and food, we compare gravity filters to fast bottle purifiers, look at fuel-saving cook systems versus twig stoves, and consider where fire bans and treeless landscapes make “romantic” setups impractical. Power banks, rechargeables, and simple charging tactics round out a reliable off-grid kit.
Safety and navigation get the same treatment. We explain how a ZOLEO or inReach keeps you connected without cell service and why offline topo apps like Gaia GPS and AllTrails Plus pair best with solid map-and-compass habits. Sustainability threads through it all: repair programs, recycled materials, canister refill tools, and choosing durable gear that lasts. Our bottom line is simple—bring tech that trims weight, boosts safety, and reduces waste, but don’t let screens steal the view. Subscribe, share with a fellow camper, and tell us: what’s the one piece of gear that truly earned its spot in your pack?

The map looks simple until the trees vanish. Then the wind takes over, the horizon stretches for days, and every choice you make—gear, timing, route—has to respect a landscape that doesn’t bend. We sit down with Jim Gallagher and Brian Johnston, a two-person team with 16 years and 5,600 kilometres of Arctic canoe travel, to unpack how they keep remote trips calm, safe, and deeply rewarding.
They walk us through the real logistics of going north: choosing between floatplanes and wheel landings, why a pack canoe that fits in a hockey bag can change your budget and route options, and how to plan circle routes from communities like Yellowknife and Baker Lake when charters fall through. We talk gear that actually helps—freestanding shelters for treeless tundra, white gas stoves when fire bans and driftwood scarcity collide, and a modest solar panel that still charges on cloudy, cold days. With 24-hour daylight, they skip headlamps and sometimes start paddling at 3 a.m. to beat the wind.
On the water, humility beats bravado. Jim and Brian share how whitewater skills, lining, and smart portages open up far more rivers than running every rapid. We swap stories of caribou herds clattering across riverbanks, a distant grizzly minding its own forage, seal skulls hinting at the coast, and lake trout and grayling that turn a campsite into a feast—though never a food plan. The theme is consistency: clear routines, conservative decisions, and simple systems that avoid tent failures, canoe mishaps, and food shortages, so the focus stays on wild country and long, quiet miles.
If you’re dreaming of bigger trips—whether that’s a classic like the Thelon, Kazan, or Coppermine, or a creative link between obscure watersheds—you’ll hear practical advice on courses, clubs, mentors, and building judgment alongside skill. Come for the Arctic canoe tips and expedition planning; stay for the honest take on comfort, resilience, and why an uneventful trip can be the best kind of epic. Enjoy the conversation, then share it with a paddling friend, hit follow, and leave a review to help others find the show.

You can feel the spark from the first minute: a morning coffee turned into a grassroots outdoor festival that now spans a Friday night film showcase, three packed halls, and a winter courtyard buzzing with dog sleds, fire pits, hot tents, and live demos. We’re joined by Jason and Bretton from the Hamilton Adventure Expo to trace how they kept the show independent, community-centred, and hands-on while doubling its size and raising the bar for Canadian outdoor events.
We dive into the new Adventure Film Festival at the historic Westdale Theatre—nine films, intimate Q&As, and a 350-seat room where creators and fans meet face to face. Then we map the weekend across the Ancaster Fairgrounds: indoor tunnels connecting vendor halls, a dedicated speaker space, acoustic music sessions, a kids’ corner, and a coffee-and-treats hub that makes every room feel alive. Outside, winter takes centre stage with Abitibi Dog Sledding rides, Esker hot tent demos and cocoa, live knife forging, sled-pulling workshops, and collaborative camp kitchen sessions. It’s an immersive way to learn winter skills, talk to experts, and turn questions into confidence.
The speaker lineup is stacked: Adam Shoalts, Joe Robinet, Kevin Callan, Kylan Marone, Tori Baird, Ken Whiting, Ray Zahab, Ben Beauchamp, Marty Morcette, and Evan LaFive. We talk about why these voices matter, how their stories move people from YouTube to trailheads, and why Saturday and Sunday each offer unique sessions worth seeing. You’ll also hear how last year’s sellout lines shaped smarter crowd flow, added volunteers, and a VIP entrance for weekend pass holders—without losing the indie spirit. And if you like great odds, every ticket enters you to win a Nova Craft ToughStuff 16’ Prospector canoe, ready to kick off your paddling season.
Join us for a warm, honest look at the Canadian outdoor community—where makers, guides, filmmakers, and fans come together to learn, collaborate, and head outside. Tickets go live November 24. Grab yours, share this episode with an adventure friend, and leave a review to help more people find the show. We’ll see you at Westdale on Jan 23 and at the Ancaster Fairgrounds Jan 24–25.

The camp stove shouldn’t be where flavour goes to die. We sat down with Liz and Wally from Wanderless Kitchen to share how they turned heirloom South Asian recipes into plant‑based dehydrated meals that pack light, rehydrate fast, and taste like home after a long day on the water or trail. Their journey starts in Lahore’s kitchens, winds through a windy first paddle on Georgian Bay, and lands in a commercial kitchen where “a pinch” gave way to spreadsheets, tilting skillets, and hard‑won texture tests.
We dig into what makes dehydrated meals go wrong—chewy bits, pasty sauces, mushy or underdone rice—and how thoughtful ingredient choices flip the script. Dals became the stars: brown lentils that hold their shape, moong dal that turns silky, and basmati rice that stays long‑grained and separate. You’ll hear the story behind three signature meals—Masur Dal Chawal, Chikor Chole, and Moong Dal Chawal—why they’re all plant‑based, and how limiting oils preserves both flavour and performance in the dehydrator. This isn’t “moon food.” It’s smoky cardamom, cinnamon warmth, and nutty comfort that passes the ultimate test: family approval.
Beyond the recipes, we talk about scaling up without losing soul: renting a commercial kitchen, investing in larger dehydrators, logging every gram for consistency, and learning packaging the hard way so you don’t have to. Community demos at MEC and paddling festivals proved that if people can taste it, they get it—good calories can be delicious calories. If you’ve ever dreaded a bland boil‑in‑bag after a cold paddle or steep portage, this conversation will reset your expectations for backcountry meals.

What if the comfort you chase is the thing holding you back from real resilience? We sit down with Jay Carson—veteran of U.S. politics, creator behind House of Cards and The Morning Show, and now executive director of the Boulder Outdoor Survival School—to unpack how a minimalist 14-day course can reset your inner compass. From a pandemic power outage that felt apocalyptic to making friction fires and sleeping without a bag, Jay shares the skills and mindset that turned fear into capability.
We explore the philosophy behind Boss: keep the gear list short, keep the learning deep, and move often enough that comfort can’t calcify. Jay explains why “compare down” cuts anxiety, how survival priorities put shelter and fire ahead of food, and why discomfort isn’t danger. If you’ve wondered whether you’re fit enough, his answer might surprise you. Baseline fitness helps, but head and heart make the difference—especially on specialised tracks like the Hunter-Gatherer course where, if you don’t find it, you don’t eat it.
There’s history and scope here too. Boss has operated since 1968 across nearly a million permitted acres in southern Utah, taking students from desert scrub to high forest in a single day’s walk. Jay connects those landscapes to his own, tracing a line from 9/11 and an anthrax exposure to a deeper need for nature’s grounding. He also previews his forthcoming book built on survival priorities—part backcountry guide, part life manual—aimed at anyone ready to rethink comfort, risk, and what truly matters.

Ever wondered how to stay truly clean outdoors without messing up the places you love? We pull back the curtain on camp hygiene with no-nonsense tips for safe handwashing, smart dish systems, and bathroom choices that protect water, wildlife, and your stomach. From what “biodegradable” actually means to why distance from lakes matters more than you think, we break down simple routines that reduce impact and keep your campsite calm and critter-free.
We start with first principles: preventing GI illness, avoiding scents that draw animals, and making soil do the filtering work soaps need. You’ll learn how to set up compact wash stations, strain food scraps from grey water, and decide when to use a cat hole versus a wag bag in fragile or rocky terrain. We talk gear that works—collapsible basins, light trowels, concentrated soap—and low-waste habits like packing out wipes and diapers, double-bagging scented items, and rinsing away from camp. For families, we offer kid-friendly rules that make clean hands and safe water second nature.
We also tackle menstrual hygiene with practical, low-impact options like cups and period underwear, plus tips on storage and rinsing that respect Leave No Trace. Along the way, we share real-world missteps (hello, solar shower rules) and how to read campground and park guidelines so your system fits the landscape, not the other way around. Clean camping isn’t about perfection; it’s about small choices that add up to healthier trips and healthier ecosystems.
If this guide helps you camp cleaner, share it with a friend, hit follow, and leave a quick review. Got a trail-tested hygiene trick or a tough question? Send it our way and join the conversation.

A “short day” on the Temagami River can still knock the wind out of you. We set out expecting easy miles and found five portages, two line-throughs, low water, and a masterclass in patience instead. Between scraping rental hulls and threading skinny lines through swifts, we had to read the river moment by moment—scout when the tongue vanished, line when rocks stacked too tight, and save our pride for camp. It wasn’t epic in distance, but it was rich in decisions, teamwork, and small wins that add up.
We walk through how low water changes everything: where V’s lie, how eddies give you breath, and why a gentle pillow can signal a lurking boulder. You’ll hear our decision tree for run vs. line, how we split loads on back-to-back portages, and the subtle cues that tell you when to step out and rope the canoe. We also talk mindset—keeping humour when progress crawls, measuring success in clean ferries rather than kilometres, and staying safe without killing the fun. The Temagami River demanded respect; we paid it with caution, conversation, and a few fresh scratches.
The day ends the way river days should: at Greg’s Escape from Reality cabin, warm food on the way, and a quiet room that lets the stories breathe. We share shout-outs to friends like Thunderbox Diaries, compare notes on route choices, and build a few takeaways for your next trip. If you’re planning a canoe route with variable water levels, you’ll pick up practical tips on scouting, lining, and pacing a team through “short” days that aren’t. Hit play, settle in, and then tell us your best trick for tight, rocky swifts.
If you enjoyed the journey, follow along on Instagram, Facebook, BlueSky, YouTube, and Spotify, and send us a note at hi@supergoodcamping.com. Share the episode with a paddling friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more campers find the river.

Wildfire smoke, sudden downpours, and surprise park closures are rewriting the camping playbook—and we’re mapping a better way forward. From downbursts that flatten tree canopies to late-season black flies and fire bans that change by municipality, we share how our own trips have shifted and what actually works when conditions get weird. This is a practical, no-drama guide to staying safe, staying flexible, and still finding joy around the campfire when the rules of the outdoors keep changing.
We dig into the realities campers now face: how to check fire bans across jurisdictions, read air quality indexes before you roll, and build a safer camp when torrential rain hits. We talk fire hygiene that prevents smouldering root fires, smarter site selection that avoids flood paths, and the gear that holds up—tight rainflies, solid guylines, repair tape, and a pre-filled water bucket. You’ll also hear tips for navigating drought and water scarcity with reliable filtration, plus how to spot and treat heat exhaustion fast. On the wildlife front, we cover rising tick and mosquito activity, daily tick checks, and why a small removal kit can save a trip.
Planning is where resilience starts. We walk through creating Plan A, B, and C routes to dodge local smoke and storms, using Parks Canada and Ontario Parks updates, cross-checking municipal advisories, and leaning on weather and AQI tools for real-time decisions. We round it out with low-impact choices—carpooling when possible, rechargeable or solar lighting, battery recycling, and Leave No Trace habits—that reduce harm without killing the fun. Camping is still magic. With a flexible mindset and a few new skills, it’s not only possible—it’s better, because you’re ready.
If this helped, follow the show, share it with a camping friend, and leave a quick review so more outdoor lovers can find it. Got a pro tip or a story from a smoky or stormy trip? Tell us—we’d love to feature it next time.

Warm October sun, a gentle river, and the sweet spot between skills and ease—day two on Temagami delivered a slow-burn kind of joy. We kept the mileage short, dialled in our teamwork over breakfast, and spent the afternoon playing in friendly rapids with boats light and smiles wide. If you’ve wondered how to design a canoe-camping day that builds confidence without chasing distance, this is the blueprint.
We break down the day from a compact portage around a falls to the practical art of ferrying and S turns—how to set an angle, read a tongue of current, and keep hips loose so the boat does the work. With the water as coach, we lap the same feature to sharpen timing and control, proving you don’t need big whitewater to grow river sense. Along the shore, camp takes shape early: tents pitched, late lunch enjoyed, and a quick, bracing swim to rinse off the trail dust. The heat feels surreal for October, which brings its own lessons in layering and hydration for shoulder-season paddling.
Fishing fans get their moment too. Jared hooks a solid bass and lets it go, a small but clear nod to stewardship and Leave No Trace. We talk safety without killing the vibe: why intentional swims are the only ones we’ll accept, how throw bags and buddy systems add margin, and when to say yes to one more lap versus calling it a day. With a relaxed plan for tomorrow—likely a couple of small rapids, a short paddle, and a meet-up with Greg in the afternoon—we lean into the idea that a great trip balances play and planning.
If you love canoe camping, Temagami routes, beginner whitewater, or simply hearing the river in the background while you plan your next adventure, you’ll feel right at home here. Follow along for practical tips, warm camp stories, and the small wins that turn a simple day into a standout memory. Subscribe, share with a paddling friend, and leave a review to tell us your favourite rapid to lap or your go-to breakfast on trail.

Ready to fall in love with camping without the stress of a full-blown trip? We break down our favourite microadventure formula: a single midweek overnight at Ontario Parks within an easy drive of Toronto. Think quick packing, simple meals, and all the magic of a campfire, minus the overwhelm. Whether you’re testing the waters or introducing kids to the outdoors, this is a repeatable plan that builds confidence and joy.
We walk through how to choose parks within one to two hours of the city and why midweek bookings can turn crowded hotspots into calm escapes. You’ll hear our top picks—Presqu’ile, Bronte Creek, Ferris, Emily, and even Sibbald Point when timed right—plus the specific perks that make each place shine. From Bronte Creek’s farmhouse demos, indoor barn playground, and massive pool to Presqu’ile’s trails and shoreline, there’s more than enough to keep curious minds engaged and screens out of sight.
Meals stay easy and delicious with our go-to foil-pack method: frozen fish and veg thaw en route and hit the fire on a clean foil layer over the park grate. Pancakes in the morning, hot dogs and s’mores at night, and a compact kitchen bin to keep everything organized. We also share practical checkout rhythms, small Leave No Trace habits that matter, and how short trips help you learn what you actually need. Start small, build momentum, and let these one-night adventures stack into memories your family will talk about for years.
If this sparked a plan, subscribe for more trail-tested ideas, share this episode with a friend who needs a nudge outdoors, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

A broken train plan shouldn’t break a trip. When the Spanish River route vanished overnight after a baggage car mishap, we leaned on fast-moving outfitters, scanned our maps, and chose a new path that turned out to be exactly what we needed: Temagami by way of Red Cedar. What started as a scramble became a reminder that the best stories often arrive when the itinerary falls apart.
We walk through the decision tree—French River, Martin River, then Temagami—and why Temagami won on terrain, access, and spirit. From our Red Cedar put-in to a sandy beach campsite under tall pines, we share the small wins that steady a group: clean landings, quiet water, and a camp kitchen that goes beyond “good enough.” Expect pizza hot off the pan and a shout-out to Bill from Thunderbox Diaries for unrolled cabbage rolls and smashed pierogies that boosted energy and morale.
The day ahead brings two dam portages and our first real taste of whitewater after months of training. We talk scouting, conservative calls, and what “intentional swims” means to us. Safety, communication, and humility take centre stage as we plan runs, respect horizon lines, and keep the group moving smoothly. Along the way, we dig into adaptable trip planning for Northern Ontario—how to evaluate alternate routes quickly, work with local knowledge, and choose campsites that actually fit your needs.
If you’re curious about Temagami routes, Red Cedar access, beginner whitewater strategy, or trail-tested camp meals, you’ll find practical takeaways and a few laughs. Subscribe, share this episode with a paddling friend, and leave a review to help more backcountry folks find the show. What’s your best last-minute trip pivot?

A dream trail broke his knees and changed his life—Steve Evans went from hauling “light” heavy gear to engineering tools that feel like cheating on a portage. We bring you the origin story of Suluk 46, where a licensed mechanical engineer applies stress analysis and real-world testing to build ultralight, ultra-strong equipment that actually earns its place in your pack. From a titanium-and-carbon ice axe born for Nepal, to award-winning tent stakes, to a folding saw that weighs like a candy bar, Steve shows how obsession, iteration, and field time create gear that lasts.
We explore the design logic behind two very different saw families—an ultralight buck saw and slim folding pull saws built around Silky blades—plus the realities of supply, custom blade development in Sweden, and choosing performance without extra grams. You’ll hear the surprisingly relatable story of a packable grill that snaps together at camp and disappears into a small tube when you hike out, solving the “gross site grate” problem without adding bulk. We also dig into the market divide between canoe trippers and ultralight hikers, why product choices shift with terrain and portages, and how to think about comfort versus weight when you’re planning multi-day routes.
Looking ahead, Steve teases a carbon fibre, refillable fuel canister with a titanium valve assembly—a TSSA-informed answer to disposable isobutane canisters that could save weight, reduce waste, and make fuel management smarter on long trips. Along the way, we talk about building a small, family-powered company, launching products at Canadian outdoor shows, and redefining success around time outside, not just scale. If you care about backpacking gear, canoe tripping essentials, and thoughtful design that starts on the trail and ends at your workbench, this conversation will spark ideas for your next kit rebuild.

A quiet invasion is reshaping Ontario’s lakes, forests, and wetlands—and most of the spread is accidental. We break down the top invasive species threatening biodiversity and outdoor recreation, then share smart, simple steps every camper, paddler, angler, and hiker can take to stop the damage. From zebra mussels and round goby to emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, garlic mustard, buckthorn, purple loosestrife, and dog‑strangling vine, we explain how each species changes habitat, why it matters for fish nurseries and forest health, and what early warning signs to look for on the water and along the trail.
You’ll hear practical field tips you can use right away: clean, drain, and dry boats and gear; never move live bait between waterbodies; don’t transport firewood; and learn to spot D‑shaped exit holes in ash or dense reed stands of invasive phragmites. We also talk reporting tools like EDDMapS Ontario, working with certified arborists, and joining local stewardship days to pull invasive plants and restore native groundcover. Along the way, we share personal stories of tree loss, park closures, and shoreline changes that show how fast an infestation can turn a favourite campsite or launch into a very different place.
If you love paddling clear bays, fishing healthy lakes, and hiking under diverse canopies, this is your action plan. Let’s protect our shared backyard with consistent habits and early reporting so conservation teams can act fast. Enjoyed the conversation and want more practical outdoor tips? Follow, rate, and share the show with a friend who camps Ontario—then tell us your invasive‑species sightings and wins.

Ever wondered why paddlers become so attached to their paddles? The answer lies in the perfect marriage of craftsmanship, personalization, and performance that transforms a wooden tool into an extension of yourself on the water.
Corey and Maria from Haliburton Paddle Shop take us behind the scenes of their passionate journey from working at Haliburton Forest to establishing their own custom paddle-making business in Minden, Ontario. Their story is one of determination, creativity, and a deep understanding of what makes a paddle truly exceptional for each individual paddler.
The magic happens when you realize that paddles aren't one-size-fits-all. As we discover through their expertise, everything from your height and hand size to your paddling style and water conditions influences what makes the perfect paddle for you. Black cherry might be their bestseller with its rich patina, but white ash offers greater stiffness for power strokes, while basswood brings flexibility that reduces fatigue on longer journeys. Each wood type creates a distinct paddling experience, revealing the nuanced relationship between material and performance.
What truly sets Haliburton Paddle Shop apart is their commitment to customization. Their consultation process ensures your paddle fits your specific needs, while their high-end laser engraver opens up endless personalization possibilities – from simple initials to elaborate designs, maple leaf cutouts filled with colored resin, or even wedding guest book paddles that become family heirlooms. All this while maintaining a commitment to sustainability, sourcing wood locally and repurposing every scrap into smaller creations.
Whether you're a seasoned paddler seeking the perfect tool or just beginning your paddling journey, there's something special about wielding a paddle made specifically for you. Visit their shop to experience firsthand how the right paddle can transform your time on the water, or explore their website to begin your custom paddle journey today.

Adventures unfold in unexpected ways when you're willing to try something new. After years of flat-water paddling, Tim took the plunge into whitewater canoeing through Paddler Co-op's aptly named "Tandemonium" course. What followed was two days of intense learning, sore muscles, and an immediate addiction to the rush of navigating rapids. The welcoming community of paddlers made all the difference, from patient instructors to friendly camp neighbors offering recovery tips.
As we close out another podcast season, we're bursting with excitement about our upcoming wilderness adventures. The calendar is packed with an eight-day expedition through Barron Canyon in Algonquin, a return to Paddler Co-op for more whitewater training, and a dreamy five-day base camp on Philip Edward Island in Georgian Bay where we hope to meet up with friends from Beauty in the Backcountry and Tents and Timber. Fall brings our annual pilgrimage to Kortha Highlands for autumn colors, plus an ambitious Spanish River trip where our newfound whitewater skills will face their first real test. Family road trips to outdoor destinations round out our plans, ensuring everyone gets their fair share of adventure.
After nearly 180 episodes spanning almost five years, we remain grateful for this incredible community of outdoor enthusiasts who continue to inspire us to push our boundaries. Your support through listening, emails, social media engagement, and platform contributions keeps us motivated to share our camping experiences. We'd love to hear about your own outdoor plans - drop us a line at hi@supergoodcamping.com and let us know what wilderness adventures you're dreaming about.

Two passionate adventurers with a mission to unite outdoor enthusiasts worldwide—this conversation with CW Goetz and Maya Marzocchi from The Outdoors People Show reveals how unexpected connections can blossom into meaningful partnerships that transcend continents.
Their story begins with a t-shirt that traveled from North America to Brazil, taking three months to arrive and sparking what would become a dynamic co-hosting relationship. What makes their partnership particularly fascinating is how they complement each other—CW with his lifelong love of camping and canoeing that began in his childhood backyard, and Maya with her transformative journey from having a fear of heights to becoming an accomplished rock climber who now "feels alive" when scaling extreme heights.
The conversation dives deep into cultural differences in outdoor participation, particularly highlighting the challenges women face in adventure sports. Maya speaks candidly about Brazil's gender dynamics: "Here women need to fight three times harder to achieve whatever we want." Yet despite these barriers, she's built Brazilian Outdoor Adventure (BOA), a company dedicated to showing international visitors the natural wonders of her homeland.
What sets The Outdoors People Show apart is their focus on humans rather than just activities. As CW explains, "We get to know Maya Marzocchi through her climbing. We didn't get to know her climbing through Maya Marzocchi." This human-centered approach has allowed them to discover extraordinary stories of transformation, where outdoor adventures become vehicles for personal growth and cross-cultural understanding.
Their shared philosophy—that outdoor adventures should be free from ego and open to everyone—resonates throughout the conversation. Whether discussing CW's drum-making past (including crafting for Neil Peart) or Maya's approach to confronting fears head-on, their stories remind us that the outdoors offers endless possibilities for discovery, both of the world around us and of ourselves.
Ready to experience the transformative power of outdoor adventure? Follow CW and Maya on The Outdoors People Show, and join our community at Super Good Camping as we continue inspiring others to embrace the natural world.

Meet Tim and Ade, the charismatic British brothers behind the Casual Camping Podcast who have built their show on authentic outdoor experiences and infectious laughter. When they joined us, we discovered how their weekly phone conversations about camping gear and adventures naturally evolved into a podcast—now in its third successful season.
What makes their approach unique in the outdoor content space is their commitment to keeping camping accessible and fun. Unlike many gear-focused channels, Tim and Ade prioritize light-hearted discussions that celebrate the joy of outdoor experiences. Their no-sponsorship policy allows them complete freedom to share honest opinions about equipment and destinations. As they jokingly shared, if you skip forward 10 seconds repeatedly through any episode, you'll essentially create a laugh track—a testament to the genuine brotherly banter that forms the heart of their show.
Our conversation revealed fascinating contrasts between UK and Canadian camping cultures. While Canadians enjoy Crown Land camping with remarkable freedom to explore wilderness areas, UK campers face significant restrictions with limited wild camping opportunities and private ownership of many waterways. This led to enlightening discussions about how we adapt our camping styles to our environments—from Tim's beloved three-meter bell tent (his "one-man tent" complete with wood-burning stove) to Ade's enthusiasm for winter camping with modern amenities.
Both podcast teams shared personal insights about what makes camping special: the community that forms around campfires, the balance between adventure and comfort, and knowing your personal limits when planning trips. Whether you're new to camping or an experienced outdoor enthusiast, there's something refreshingly genuine about their approach that reminds us all why we seek these connections with nature and each other.
Ready to get inspired by authentic outdoor conversations? Follow Casual Camping Podcast on your favorite platform and join their active Facebook community where members share their own adventures and tips. Then grab your gear, gather some friends, and create your own camping memories—because as both our podcasts agree, the outdoors is for everyone, not just hardcore adventurers.

The line between thriving wilderness and dangerous bear encounters often comes down to one simple thing: how we store our food in the backcountry. Grant Breidenbach from Bear Vault joins us to reveal fascinating insights about bear behavior and the science behind effective food protection strategies.
Bears possess what scientists call "spatio-temporal memory" – they remember both where and when they found food sources. This remarkable adaptation serves them perfectly in natural settings but creates serious problems when they discover human food. With noses containing four times the scent receptors of a bloodhound and surprising intelligence, bears quickly learn that our calorie-dense snacks offer more reward for less effort than foraging naturally. As Grant explains, "Human food, not even once" should be our mantra when it comes to bears.
We explore how traditional food-hanging methods have become increasingly ineffective as bears learn to defeat them – chewing through ropes, breaking branches, or even shimmying across lines to access suspended food bags. The Bear Vault's ingenious design, with its slippery sides and carefully engineered dimensions, creates a physical barrier bears simply cannot defeat. After trying and receiving no food reward, bears quickly return to their natural diet.
Most powerfully, Grant shifts our perspective from self-protection to ecosystem preservation: "There's no such thing as a problem bear – there are problem people." When we fail to properly store food, we set bears up for dangerous behavior that often leads to their euthanization. One Colorado case study showed a 98% reduction in human-bear conflicts within five years after implementing canister requirements and education.
Whether you're planning your first wilderness adventure or are a seasoned backcountry traveler, this conversation will transform how you think about food storage and bear protection. Join us in understanding that when we enter the wilderness, we're guests in the bear's home – and protecting them is our responsibility.

Standing at the edge of a thundering cascade, feeling the cool mist on your face as water tumbles over ancient Canadian Shield rock—there's something viscerally satisfying about experiencing a waterfall that enhances any camping adventure. We've assembled our ultimate guide to Ontario's most spectacular waterfalls, all conveniently located within the provincial park system.
From the dramatic 40-meter drop of Kakabika Falls (deservedly nicknamed "Niagara of the North") near Thunder Bay to the intimate and family-friendly Stubbs Falls at Arrowhead Provincial Park, each waterfall offers a unique experience. We share our firsthand experiences at locations like Stubbs Falls, where the bubbling pool at the base creates a natural "hot tub" effect before you stretch out on sun-warmed granite rocks. However, we also discuss important safety considerations after witnessing a frightening slip that fortunately ended without serious injury.
For those willing to venture further into Ontario's wilderness, we explore options ranging from the moderate three-kilometer hike to High Falls in Algonquin (perfect for swimming and sunbathing) to the much more challenging multi-day trek required to reach the remote Hendrie River Waterfalls in Lake Superior Provincial Park. We've included practical advice about the best seasons to visit (spring for water volume, fall for colors), accessibility considerations, what to pack, and the importance of proper footwear on potentially slippery trails. Whether you're planning a dedicated waterfall adventure or simply looking to enhance an existing camping trip, these seven spectacular destinations offer something for every outdoor enthusiast.
Connect with us on social media or email us at hi@supergoodcamping.com with questions or to share your own waterfall experiences. We're taking a brief summer hiatus after our next three episodes to focus on our own camping adventures, but we'll be back in the fall with more outdoor inspiration!

From concrete jungle to wilderness champion, Joe Robinet's story captivates with its raw honesty and powerful transformation. Our guest shares how a childhood fascination with nature shows like "Grizzly Adams" planted seeds that would eventually grow into a fulfilling career as a bushcraft expert and content creator.
Joe's path wasn't straightforward – learning bushcraft skills in a small patch of land between two factories in Windsor before eventually finding his way to northern wilderness. His YouTube journey began organically, uploading videos to prove his skills to an online forum community, never imagining it would become his livelihood. With refreshing candor, Joe dispels the myth that his appearance on History Channel's "Alone" launched his career – in fact, it temporarily derailed it when viewers reacted negatively to him losing his fire.
The conversation takes a profound turn as Joe recounts his life-altering dirt bike accident that resulted in a three-week coma and devastating nerve damage to his hand. Doctors prepared his family for the worst, yet Joe defied expectations in his recovery. The emotional weight of this experience permeates his reflections on mortality, family responsibility, and small joys like regaining the ability to peel a banana. "I never thought about how awesome it is that you can use your hands," he shares. "This is what separates us from the animals."
Now embracing life's second chance, Joe discusses his passion for canoe tripping, camping with his wilderness-loving dog, and his mission to teach his daughters self-reliance through annual wilderness trips. Looking ahead, he's planning ambitious adventures including a documentary about his comeback journey and potentially a 50-day solo canoe expedition. Through triumph and trauma, Joe's story reminds us that passion, perseverance, and perspective can transform even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth.
Want to experience the wilderness through Joe's eyes? Follow his adventures on YouTube and Instagram for authentic outdoor content that inspires connection with nature and appreciation for life's precious gifts.

Rob Spence, known to many as "Rob in the Outside," shares his profound journey of finding salvation through nature after hitting rock bottom. Following his mother's passing and a difficult divorce, Rob discovered that kayaking, fishing, and wilderness exploration quite literally saved his life – transforming his darkest moments into a passionate outdoor lifestyle that now defines him.
The conversation takes us through Rob's evolution as an outdoorsman, from his early days spending dawn to dusk on the water fishing for bass and pike, to his more recent obsession with fly fishing. "Until you get into it and get into a river and hook a big one and fight – it's hard to explain where the passion comes from," Rob explains, his enthusiasm palpable as he describes the thrill of battling brook trout on a fly rod.
We explore Rob's deeply thoughtful approach to hunting, which stems from a desire for self-sufficiency and ethically-sourced food. Unlike trophy hunting, Rob ensures every part of his harvested animals serves a purpose – from feeding his family and his dog Kiva to using hides for crafting and fly-tying materials. He candidly shares his three-year journey of learning deer behavior before successfully harvesting his first one, showing the depth of respect and knowledge that guides his practice.
Perhaps most compelling is Rob's raw honesty about the psychological impact of wilderness immersion. He describes the almost depressive state he experiences when returning from extended backcountry trips – a testament to nature's profound effect on his wellbeing. "I love coming back to my family, to the dog, everything else. I hate coming back to everything that's outside of this house," he admits, capturing the sentiment many wilderness enthusiasts feel but rarely articulate.
Whether you're an experienced outdoorsperson or someone curious about the healing potential of nature, Rob's story offers both practical knowledge and emotional insight into how the wilderness can transform lives. Follow Rob's adventures on Instagram @Rob_in_the_outside and YouTube as "Rob in the Outside" – and discover how connecting with nature might change your own perspective.

Ever wondered what makes wildlife photography truly ethical? Jesse Villemaire takes us deep into the heart of this question, revealing how respecting wildlife comes before capturing the perfect shot. As co-founder of Follow Me North with his wife Susan, Jesse shares captivating stories from Algonquin Park's wilderness and South African safaris while unveiling the philosophy that guides their intimate photography workshops.
"The wildlife comes first, the photo comes next," Jesse emphasizes, explaining how maintaining proper distance and understanding animal behavior creates not just better photographs, but more meaningful encounters. Through heartfelt examples—including a devastating story about a habituated wolf—he illustrates why "baiting" wildlife causes harm that far outweighs any photographic benefit.
Jesse's personal journey from tattoo studio owner in Cambridge to wildlife photographer in Muskoka reveals how nature became his essential reset button. The story of meeting his wife through Instagram's Algonquin Park hashtag (culminating in their wedding on an island in Lake of Two Rivers) demonstrates how shared passion for wilderness can forge life's most meaningful connections. Their volunteer work with Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary further showcases their commitment to conservation beyond the lens.
From their viral "Santa in a Red Canoe" series to their humorous "Sorry Algonquin" Instagram project pairing stunning images with one-star park reviews, Jesse's creative approach invites others into nature's beauty with both reverence and playfulness. His South African photo tours—where participants might find themselves surrounded by 21 lions—offer transformative experiences that "change you" on a fundamental level.
Ready to experience wildlife photography through a more mindful lens? Listen now and discover how connecting with nature might just help you connect more deeply with yourself and others along the way.

Lace up your hiking boots and join us as we trek across the breathtaking landscapes of Canada! From the misty coastal paths of British Columbia to the craggy eastern shores of Newfoundland, we're exploring ten of Canada's most spectacular hiking trails that belong on every outdoor enthusiast's bucket list.
Our journey begins with the legendary West Coast Trail in BC, where we share insights from friends who conquered this challenging 75km adventure featuring cable cars, ladders, and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. The trail's lottery system makes it exclusive, but we'll tell you why it's worth trying your luck. We then head east to Alberta's mountain wonderland, exploring both the glacier-studded Berg Lake Trail beneath towering Mount Robson and the ridge-walking paradise of Jasper's Skyline Trail, where snow lingers into June but rewards summer hikers with breathtaking alpine vistas.
Not every remarkable Canadian trail requires expert-level skills. We highlight the accessible Plain of Six Glaciers near Lake Louise with its historic tea house, the culturally significant Grey Owl's Cabin Trail in Manitoba, and the moderate Les Loops Trail offering spectacular views near Quebec City. For those seeking true wilderness challenges, we venture into the remote Arctic landscape of Akshayuk Pass in Nunavut, where towering peaks and extreme conditions create an unforgettable 97km adventure available only during the brief summer window. The maritime provinces shine with New Brunswick's Fundy Footpath tracing the world's highest tides and Newfoundland's extensive East Coast Trail showcasing puffin colonies, icebergs, and the easternmost point in North America.
Whether you're planning your next backpacking expedition or simply dreaming of Canada's natural wonders, these trails showcase the remarkable diversity of our outdoor playground. Each path offers unique experiences, from wildlife encounters to historical connections like the La Cloche trail that inspired Group of Seven painters. Have you hiked any of these Canadian gems? Email us at hi@supergoodcamping.com to share your own trail tales or questions about exploring the great Canadian wilderness.

Jeff McMurtrie returns to our podcast with exciting news about his meticulously crafted wilderness maps that have transformed how paddlers experience Ontario's backcountry. Having spent over 700 days exploring these waterways, Jeff brings unparalleled expertise to his cartography – revealing hidden gems that most travelers miss and preventing potentially frustrating navigational errors.
The newest additions to his collection include updated Killarney and French River maps with 50% more detail, innovative portage elevation profiles, and an extensive catalog of points of interest. Perhaps most exciting is the announcement of a refreshed Temagami map coming this summer and a new East French River map that completes the coverage from Georgian Bay to Lake Nipissing when combined with his other maps.
What makes these maps special goes beyond their accuracy. Jeff's thoughtful design elements – like showing creek width proportional to reality and using distinctive "penciled in" styling for extremely challenging routes – reflect his deep understanding of what paddlers actually need on the water. The maps document everything from waterfalls and swimming holes to historic sites and spring water sources, creating what Jeff calls "that extra dimension" that transforms a good trip into an unforgettable one.
Each physical map purchase includes digital versions in five different formats (high-resolution JPEG, Avenza Maps with GPS functionality, Garmin GPS, Google Earth 3D, and GeoTIFF), ensuring paddlers can use them however best suits their style. Jeff shares that user feedback has been invaluable in refining these resources – from identifying changed conditions to suggesting new features that improve usability.
Whether you're planning your first backcountry trip or your fiftieth, these maps provide both essential navigation tools and unexpected discoveries. Check out mapsbyjeff.com or visit your local outdoor retailer to get your hands on these game-changing wilderness guides before your next paddling adventure.

Kevin Callan, the Happy Camper, returns to share the remarkable journey of publishing his 20th book – a children's story called "A Spark of Courage." After multiple rejections from major publishers who couldn't see the market for a book about nature helping anxiety in youth, Kevin took matters into his own hands with passionate determination.
The book follows Paul, an anxious pre-teen reluctant to embark on a canoe trip with his Uncle Roy. Through beautifully illustrated pages created by Cliff McArdle, we witness Paul's transformation from a nervous, screen-dependent kid to someone who embraces wilderness experiences. What makes the story unique is how woodland creatures secretly guide and teach both Paul and his uncle throughout their adventure.
Kevin's decision to self-publish reveals the changing landscape of publishing and the obstacles authors face when trying to share meaningful messages. From navigating print-on-demand services to dealing with third-party sellers attempting to list his unreleased book at inflated prices, the journey demonstrates how passion can overcome traditional gatekeepers. Though self-publishing means taking on all marketing and distribution responsibilities, it provides significantly higher royalties and creative control.
Throughout our conversation, Kevin shares insights from his decades teaching youth in outdoor settings: "We just have to take them in the woods for a long period of time and they become who they are. It's magical." This firsthand experience of nature's transformative power drives his mission to reach young readers struggling with anxiety in our increasingly digital world.
Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's mental health, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone curious about publishing alternatives, this episode offers wisdom, humor, and inspiration. Grab a copy of "A Spark of Courage" at Canadian Outdoor Equipment or your favorite retailer, and follow Kevin's upcoming adventures as he balances book tours with his beloved wilderness trips.

Curtis LaFleche's life changed dramatically at age 16 when he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis – a condition that causes spinal fusion and threatened his athletic pursuits. Rather than surrendering to limitations, this diagnosis sparked an unexpected journey into the wilderness that transformed his life.
"I just started walking down the ski trails," Curtis recalls, "and then I fell in love with hiking... seeing birds for the first time I didn't know existed and these plants." What began as rehabilitation became a profound connection with nature that would shape his future career in forestry and conservation, where he made conscious decisions to protect wildlife habitats and riparian zones while managing logging operations.
Now 46, Curtis embraces outdoor adventures with a wisdom born from decades managing chronic pain. His upcoming 15-day solo canoe expedition through Ontario's Temagami region represents both a physical challenge and a deeply meaningful journey. Beginning on Gamble Lake, where he planted trees 25 years ago, and ending at Emerald Lake, where his partner's family has scattered ashes of loved ones, the 160-kilometer route creates a perfect circle in his life story.
Curtis shares his meticulous planning process – from creating detailed spreadsheets tracking gear weight to dehydrating trail meals and calculating necessary daily calories. His "nothing but time" philosophy prioritizes enjoyment and safety over covering distance. "If I have to triple carry, I don't care," he explains. "I'm going to pull out my camera and watch birds and take three carries and spend two hours on the trail."
Beyond his personal adventures, Curtis finds joy in introducing his teenage daughters to the backcountry, carefully balancing challenge with comfort. "I think someday they're going to find solace in the forest," he reflects, recognizing how his own wilderness connection began during life's challenges.
Ready to embark on your own wilderness journey? Follow Curtis (@notsoepicdventurers) on Instagram and YouTube to witness his upcoming Temagami adventure and discover how nature can transform challenge into opportunity.

Tyler Chilabecki's love affair with the Saskatchewan wilderness began with a fishing rod in his hand at just three years old. Now, as the creator behind the YouTube channel Puddle Jumper, he's on a mission to shatter stereotypes about his home province one paddle stroke at a time.
"Everyone thinks of Saskatchewan as flat prairies and wheat," Tyler explains with the weariness of someone who's heard it once too often. "But half our province is boreal forest and Canadian Shield." This northern wilderness forms the backdrop for his solo paddling adventures, which range from weekend trips to epic three-week journeys through some of Canada's most untouched waterways.
What makes Saskatchewan's backcountry uniquely appealing is the profound solitude it offers. While popular parks like Algonquin might have portage trails "like superhighways" with paddlers carrying coolers and boxes of wine, Tyler describes paddling for 12 days in Northern Saskatchewan without seeing another soul. Even in the province's "busier" paddling areas around Missinipi on the Churchill River, traffic is minimal compared to other Canadian paddling destinations.
The geological diversity adds another layer of fascination. In the "Pelican Window" area, paddlers can find three-billion-year-old Precambrian rock formations that create dramatic landscapes unlike anything you'd expect from Saskatchewan. Tyler's eyes light up describing the Athabasca Sand Dunes, Hunt Falls (the province's largest waterfall), and ancient pictographs along historic voyageur routes that connect the province's vast network of lakes and rivers.
For those inspired to explore Saskatchewan's hidden waterways, Tyler recommends connecting with local outfitters and using resources like GoTrekker maps. Many routes remain undocumented, requiring paddlers to study satellite imagery and topographic maps – adding an element of genuine exploration to each trip. As Tyler puts it: "There's so much to explore here and so much that's undocumented. That's where I keep my focus – trying to document these different routes that no one really knows about."
Ready for a paddling adventure that defies expectations? Follow Tyler's journeys on the Puddle Jumper YouTube channel and discover the Saskatchewan that tourists never see.

Do you know how to build a campfire?
Can you make some shelter?
Can you patch yourself up if you get hurt?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will have a better chance to survive a natural disaster or outdoor activity gone wrong.
If you answered no, get out and camp more ;)

Core Points:
- Camping builds resilience by requiring adaptation to unpredictable conditions like bad weather.
- Patience is enhanced through camping due to the slower pace and effort required for basic tasks, contrasting with instant gratification.
- Resourcefulness grows as campers improvise solutions when facing unexpected challenges or equipment failures.
- Teamwork improves via shared responsibilities in camp setup, cooking, and navigation, promoting collective problem-solving.
- Self-reliance develops as individuals learn to handle personal safety, navigation, and cooking independently in unfamiliar environments.
- Gratitude is fostered by appreciating essentials like clean water and shelter, often taken for granted in daily life.
Go camping, you'll be a better person for it.

Core Points:
- Consider personal comfort items for backcountry camping. Prioritize items you’d miss, balancing comfort against added weight.
- Evaluate the necessity of luxury items such as alcohol, lightweight chairs, and pillows for improved backcountry experiences.
- Assess the value of enhanced sleeping arrangements with luxury sleeping pads to mitigate discomfort.
- Determine how important coffee or tea is to your backcountry experience and pack the gear accordingly. Instant options save weight.
- Decide on electronics (e-readers, solar chargers, camera gear) based on trip length and content creation needs.
- Pack specialty food items for enjoyment, particularly for the first night, while being mindful of the increased weight.
Booze? Cast iron fry pans? Camera gear? Bigger tent?
What's your guilty backcountry pleasure?

From having it rain every time they landed to make camp during the first week, to catching and eating yummy Grayling, to dumping in a very cold, very fast moving river, to amazing views, to bonding as a group, Deren and pals had an amazing time paddling the Hart River in the Peel watershed.

If you've gone backcountry camping in an Ontario Provincial Park in the last dozen years or so, you've likely used a map made by Jeff.
He joins us today to talk about how he got into map making, mistakes he found on "official" maps, some of the cool features he's integrated into his maps over the years, including a very cool new one in his latest Algonquin maps, and tells us a bit about his camping experiences - like a 31 day backcountry trip that involved horses!

In this engaging episode of the Super Good Camping Podcast, hosts Pamela and Tim chat with Richard Tosh, affectionately known as Tosh Self-Propelled. Richard shares his transformative journey from a military career to a life filled with outdoor adventures. He opens up about overcoming a back injury and depression, and how he found renewed purpose through canoeing, hiking, and embracing van life. Richard's story is one of resilience and passion, as he details his experiences with whitewater activities and the heartbreak of losing his dog, Cooper. The trio also discusses the practicalities of van life, including legalities of filming and traveling in the US as a Canadian, and the challenges of accessing natural parks. This episode is a deep dive into the joys and hurdles of pursuing a life connected with nature.

So sorry for the delay folks! It's been a bit of a challenge to get rid of our 1st case of echo on an episode. This is a great one & I didn't want to put out a version that didn't do justice to a truly wonderful guest.
He made his first backpack at 13 years old. A couple or so decades later he continues to make some of the most sought after packs in the canoeing community.
We talk about his favourite things about canoeing the backcountry, pack design, manufacturing and durability, working with other designers, tump lines, and a brand new product coming out this spring.

Two of our favourite people, one of Tim's sisters and her wife drop by to tell us about a semi-recent land purchase that happened a couple of hours north east of Toronto. They're part of a collection of folks that got together specifically to do this, with the intent of being good land stewards. Helping others connect or reconnect with nature. Improve mental health, Eat amazing food grown on "The Land" as it's known.

From their name you can probably figure out what they're about.
They run wonderful camps for kids. Their certified instructors teach all the levels of white water canoeing and kayaking. They also run courses where you can become a certified paddler in multiple formats and at multiple levels. They also run Wilderness First Aid Training courses - highly recommended!
Have a listen and help out with the fund raiser if you can.

The show starts in Toronto on Feb 23-25, followed by shows in Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal. Get all the info & tickets here: https://outdooradventureshow.ca/toronto-visitor

Thomas & Tim headed out on a 8 day backcountry trip into the QEII provincial park in southern-ish Ontario.
Day 1 was a bit of a haul from the Niagara region, a bit of a repacking stop at home, a late arrival. Some rain, but a nice site & a killer dinner.

She plans the crap out of, and enjoys the heck out of, some pretty amazing backcountry trips in so many cool places! And she does it because she absolutely loves to get out in nature and challenge herself.
She's also a bit different from our regular guests in that she isn't a content creator.
Join us for the first in a series of super cool chats with Tim's pal Diana.
Today she talks about how she plans a trip, essential gear, learning to not buy crappy equipment, meal planning, and shopping at Bulk Barn.
She also shares a fantastic story about her Assiniboine hiking trip. Think amazing vistas, lots of hiking, and grizzly bears.

On this podcast episode, Pamela and Tim discuss some of the advances that have been made to be more inclusive of mobility challenged persons into camping adventures.
We talk about paved paths, wider doorways, ramps, beach mats, and all terrain wheelchairs. Hammocks, higher firepits and lower picnic table, and much more.
There is still much work to do to be more inclusive, but we're making progress.
Some of the articles/blogs that I rummaged through while researching for this episode are:

Today's guest, Ron Breault AKA Swifty Paddler, has been one of our favourite follows on Instagram for quite a while. He take beautiful landscape shots, usually with the sun or moon in the shot and a canoe and paddle.
Mostly, he solo canoes through central and northern Ontario, with plenty of forays into some beautiful Quebec lakes.
That said, he also does the occasional group and family trip - including an epic trip with a tent trailer from Ottawa to San Francisco! Look for that story on a future episode with Ron.

What is a portage?
How do you find it?
How do you stay on trail?
How much fun are they? Usually not a lot ;)
Adam Shoalts has literally dragged his canoe across many kilometers of "portage" on the trip that became his book Beyond The Trees.
For most canoe trippers, portages are a necessary evil. They're often mucky and buggy, always sweaty and time consuming. But, they also give you a view of things you don't often see from the water.
And the best part? The more of them you do, the farther you can get from civilization and, hopefully, find your happy place.

Join us for an absolutely wonderful chat with Chris & Julia Prouse, the proud record holders for the fastest time completing the Meanest Link canoe route in Algonquin Park - expedition style. No support. No food drops. Just the two of them against the clock & the elements.
They are great Moms that have been taking their wee one into the backcountry since he was 8 months old, if memory serves.
They have a truly amazing YouTube channel. Ditto for their Instagram.
Tim very much feels a kindred soul in Julia's sense of humour.
Chris comes back for more chatting after Julia had to call it a day, and even turns the tables and interviews us for a bit. :)

If you ever wanted to spend a day hanging out with like minded people chatting about winter camping or backcountry canoe camping in Ontario, one of David Bain's symposiums (symposiae?) is the ticket for you.
He created and heads the Ontario Winter Camping Symposium and the Ontario Backcountry Canoe Symposium.
A retired teacher, he's seldom at a loss for words. Certainly not during our chat with him.
David is incredibly observant and therefore very knowledgeable about all things related to camping.
He was a recent presenter at the Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show.
So, he's a bit of a big deal. :)

It can be a ton of fun going camping with family, friends, or work colleagues.
But, first, you need to:
Choose a coordinator.
Decide what style of group camping - multi site or one huge site?
Where are we going?
Who's bringing the gear?
Who's doing the cooking?
Divvy up the chores and responsibilities.
What activities do we want to tackle - hikes, bikes, paddle, fish, chill.
Campfires.
The stars.

You need to be prepared for an accident!
It's highly recommended that you take a basic first aid course and a CPR course for your everyday lives.
A more in-depth course might be a good idea for camping. Especially in the backcountry.
Join us for a discussion about what is available and what course would be best for you.
