Description

Hi there! We are a blended family of four who are passionate about camping, nature, the great outdoors, physical activity, health, & being all-around good Canadians! We would love to inspire others to get outside & explore all that our beautiful country has to offer. Camping fosters an appreciation of nature, physical fitness, & emotional well-being. Despite being high-tech kids, our kids love camping! We asked them to help inspire your kids. Their creations are in our Kids section. For the adults, we would love to share our enthusiasm for camping, review some of our favourite camping gear, share recipes & menus, tips & how-to's, & anything else you may want to know about camping. Got a question about camping? Email us so we can help you & anyone else who may be wondering the same thing. We are real people, with a brutally honest bent. We don't get paid by anyone to provide a review of their product. We'll be totally frank about what we like or don't like.

Send us Fan Mail A lot of outdoor stories sound fearless. This one is honest about fear and that is exactly why it matters. We’re joined by our longtime favourite repeat guest, Camper Christina, to talk about her book The Space Between Lakes and the real-world experiences behind her solo canoe trips across the Canadian backcountry. She shares how she went from “I don’t want to be an author” to writing a full book in a matter of weeks, sparked by the glaring lack of women’s voices on canoe tri...
Send us Fan Mail A canoe pack can be “waterproof” on paper and still be miserable to live with at a landing. We’re reviewing the Recreational Barrel Works bag we’ve been testing as a replacement for our old North 49 dry bag, and we get specific about what matters when you’re loading a canoe, hauling to the car, and grinding through a portage.\n\nWe talk through the build and layout first: fabric on the outside that feels sturdy and easier to grab, grab handles on every side, and a web of stra...
Send us Fan Mail Nine paddlers drift through a stunning Algonquin Park corridor and barely anyone is wearing a PFD, and that’s where we start. From the shoreline at the top of the Lower Barren, Tim and Thomas check in on day six of our Barren Canyon canoe trip with the kind of honest trip reporting you only get when you’re living it: cold hands, quiet mornings, day-tripper traffic, and the granite walls that make this route feel unreal. We talk through what the last stretch of the trip actua...
Send us Fan Mail Getting older changes your camping trips, whether you admit it or not, and we think that’s good news. Pamela and Tim talk through how we keep canoe camping in Canada fun, safe, and realistic as our bodies rack up a little more mileage. The spark for this conversation is our friend and paddling legend Cliff Jacobson, plus his reminder to “follow your passion” after a heart scare. That line about not being saved so you can sit around and watch TV stays with us for a reason.&nbs...
Send us Fan Mail Five hours on the road from Toronto buys a special kind of silence: no sirens, no exhaust, just water, granite, and the small sounds you forget exist until you’re back in the bush. We’re Tim and Thomas, checking in with a Trip Log from day five of our September canoe trip in Algonquin Provincial Park near Barron Canyon. It’s gorgeous out here, even if we arrived on that awkward edge where fall colours haven’t fully exploded yet. A cold snap rolls in and suddenly the forecast...
