Camping & Wildfire Risk: How Climate Change Is Changing Our Campsites.
Oct 27, 2025Send us a text
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...
Day Two On Temagami: Breakfast Wraps, Easy Portages, And Playful Rapids
Oct 26, 2025Send us a text
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...
Try A Simple Overnight To Fall In Love With Camping
Oct 20, 2025Send us a text
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 tu...
Detour To Temagami Trip Log Day 1
Oct 19, 2025Send us a text
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 Ce...
How a Failed Hike Sparked a Lightweight Gear Revolution
Oct 13, 2025Send us a text
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...

Oct 06, 2025Send us a text
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...

Season Finale: Where Water Takes Us Next
Jul 14, 2025Send us a text
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...

Protecting Bears Through Better Food Storage in the Backcountry
Jun 16, 2025Send us a text
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 bl...
