It is definitely one of my most favourite pieces of gear. I even use it when it’s not the bug season. I really like the tarp & how easily it sets up. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers.

Thanks so much for the pointer. Are you aware that bears are attracted to peppermint? Lol I’ll take my chances with the mice. Hope you are doing well and having a wonderful summer. Thank you for your continued support. I greatly appreciate you. Cheers.

Hi Mike. Thanks for the message. I just got out of the backcountry and didn’t have a signal since early Friday morning. The map is from Kevin Callan’s book. I mentioned it a few times in the video series. Possibly you missed it?  If you can’t locate it I’ll send you an image of it when I get home. I’m still on the road. Cheers! Message me on the other platform.

Thank you ! 😊😊😊

Thank you so very much for the kind words. I appreciate them more than I can say. Cheers!

Lol. Thank you so much. This is a super easy trip. Some of the other ones can get pretty gnarly though. I am truly grateful for your comment. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you again. Please don’t take any offence to any comments I make in my videos regarding ATVs. It’s not personal. Lol

@CamperChristina no worries. I have thick skin lol and I respect the heck outta nature and the trails. I bring a garbage bag with me each ride and clean up as much garbage as I can fit into my cargo box. It's the select few that unfortunately ruin it for the rest of us and give us the bad reputation.

Wow! That is so awesome! Thank you for doing that. 😊 Cheers !

@@CamperChristina absolutely my pleasure

Thank you so much !

It will get funnier when you eventually see the videos from the trip where I saw the bear. Honestly I think I was more scared of the mouse. Thanks for being you. Cheers

Thank you so much. I wish you would’ve let me know in advance you were going to be so close by. By the time I found out it was too late and I had a bit of a work crisis and then you were gone. Next time you’re up this way, please let me know in advance and hopefully I can visit with you somehow. Cheers. 😊

yup I will let you know next time i am up that way again .

Very interesting. Thanks so much for sharing that. Hope you are well. Cheers.

Lol

I’m not really a big fan of skittles. So I would not attempt it myself but thanks for sharing the information. Hopefully it helps someone. I hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers!

They’re freeze dried, not dehydrated. Whole different ball game. I use both machines - huge difference between them.

I am really not sure what the point of that would be, but thanks for sharing your opinion. 😊 I hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers!

@@CamperChristina I seen the end that changed color connected to the stove maintained shape better and it seems that using the other end of the stove pipe to connect to the stove will change the color more and help maintain the shape better on the both ends to help roll

@@ModernMonksNunsPriest the colour change only indicates that the pipe has gotten to a certain temperature and the toxins have burned off of the pipe. That is the reason for the first burn. I have not found that either end has any issue holding its shape after the first burn, at all. If you look through my videos after this one, I use the stove, I show rolling it and unrolling it several times, and there’s no issues with the pipe on either the burnt end or the unburned end. I definitely don’t see any point in spending another four hours to burn the other end of the stove pipe when there would be no benefit. Possibly it just looked that way because I had the ring at the base of the pipe where the stove attaches and at the top of the pipe the ring is further down. That’s the only thing I can think of that you may have seen that might indicate there’s a difference, but there is none at all with the pipe holding its shape after the burn. On either end. Cheers !

It’s such a great spot. I have found that it’s gotten a lot busier in the last few years, but even when it’s fully booked, I find that it’s almost always empty.

From what I understand you can get a fine if you do it. That’s what I’ve been told from the park office. So no, I don’t think anyone has done it recently and I don’t know why they don’t open it up? You would have to ask the Park about that. Cheers !

I rarely see people on my trips, so for me, it feels busy, even if I just see a few people. It is stunningly beautiful, so I get it. I navigate with a map on my phone, GPS map, compass, paper copy of my map, I use a bunch of different methods. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video? Cheers.

Thank you so much hatch. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

You’re amazing. Thank you so much. 😊😊😊😊

Yay Brian Jay! How are you my friend? I miss you too. Looks like life is doing good for you so keep enjoying it and maybe will see each other one day soon. You never know?

Thank you. Why can’t you ?

@@CamperChristina think that would b like stealing someone else idea

Oh my gosh. Not at all. Mine is actually a lady Portager made from my silhouette. Pony tail and all! Lol. I did not invent the portage symbol and I am not the only one to have it. Do what works for you. 😊

Haha hi Aimee ! I didn’t know about it either. I am not a big drinker, so I guess it didn’t matter as much to me as it did to other people. Luckily you live in America where alcohol is so much cheaper than it is here I used to live in Niagara on the border and growing up. It was a thing to go over the river to get your alcohol. I hope you had a great time in Tobermory. It’s beautiful there. I’ve only ever been there in the winter though.

Thanks for sharing that and taking the time to comment. I appreciate your continued support Alex. Thank you.

There is… Isn’t there? People tell me that if I go to BC I won’t come back. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment & for checking out my video. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you sooo much ! 😊😊😊

Lol. Thank you Karen. 😊

Thank you so much Kristin. Which picture was that? Can you actually send me a DM through Facebook or Instagram? I’ll explain when you message me. 😊😊😊

Yes. It’s my fav site. Easy access to the river and cool pics and wildlife. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Can you please send me a DM on Instagram or Facebook? I’d like to offer you some thing special for your continued support. Cheers !

Most likely… But depends on the day. When we get heat waves here, it’s probably just as hot but for the most part, you’ve definitely got the gold medal for hotspots lol.

That is the video that I used as well to help me. Just a note that in the comments somewhere, someone mentioned that I did the seams incorrectly. I really don’t know what I did wrong? But apparently I did something a bit backwards. Also… won’t the nylon melt,,with heat?

@@CamperChristina I guess on the other video the bias tape ends up on the inside, with the folded seam on the outside hiding it - so kind of the reverse of what you have done. But if you like the look of the tape, and as long as the canvas materials mean it doesn't leak, then i guess your way will function the same, so why not? For man-made tent materials the seam sealing tape comes with instructions for using an iron by gradually increasing the heat until you find the point at which the glue on the tape melts without melting the materials, but for sure that is a danger - I'll be testing it on some spare fabric first. You use brown paper between the iron and the tape to diffuse the heat too. Looking at my other nylon tent with a window in it, they didn't use bias tape, just sewed in the window covered by a single folded seam from the front, then used sealing tape wide enough to cover the two lines of sewing and run up onto the window. The nylon tent I'm repairing didn't have bias tape either, but I bought tape just in case....I think I will try it with no bias tape, single folded seams onto the outside of the window, then seam seal the inside (which maybe strengthens in the same way as bias tape?)....and test with water before going onto the next one. Haha, there is a lot to go wrong the first time, I will only really know next time I camp in the wind and rain, but let's fight throw-away culture!

I agree completely and commend you for what you’re trying to do. I wish you all the success in the world. I hope it works out for you. I did add the bias tape for looks and only one of the 5 windows leaks a tiny bit in one corner. My hot tent, however, has the sides at a 45° ish angle which makes the water sit in the seams a bit, whereas on a normal tent, it will probably be more up and down and not so angled. Sending so much luck to you. Let me know how it works out ? Cheers

Lol. Thank you sherry. Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Thank you so much 🤗p

In 22 years, I’ve only been asked twice. I think on popular access lakes it might be more common.

Thank you

Wishing you safe travels on your trips. 😊

Thanks hatch !

There are several different areas in the Haliburton highlands water trails reservation system. You need to go under frost center for buckskin. Email me if you need any more help at camperchristina@outlook.com and I can send you the links. I’m not sure if they work here?

@@CamperChristina OMG, I found it. It is near the Kennisis Lake Dam Access Point. Google map gave me another Buckskin Lake, thats why I couldnot find it thrught the system. Thank you, Christina

@@wenren7895 not a problem at all. I’m glad you found it. If you Google access points for haliburton Highlands, Water Trails, there’s a page on their website somewhere that actually has GPS locations of the accesses. I highly recommend using that if you’re going to some of the less popular ones.

@@CamperChristina Thank you very much for the useful information. That map makes life much easier!

Boreal Outdoor Innovations makes the best portable stoves on the market.

The land in many parts of hhwt is shared. There are cottages on some of the lakes and all types of activities, motorized and non. I don’t know the exact rules but just what I’ve seen.

Awe. Thank you so much Aimee!

Lol. Depends on the trip. This is a short easy trip, and a lot of foods don’t need refrigeration. People just refrigerate everything because they think they have to. I eat lots of freeze dried meals. I do challenging solo portaging trips, usually between 4 to 7 days where I eat lots of freeze dried food. Because I camp so much and also because I’m filming, I try to make different things to keep me happy by not eating the same food all the time, and to make interesting content. Cheers

Wasn’t it? Lol. Thanks

Hi Doris. Can you please send me a dm on fb or Instagram ?
