You're a women after my own heart...such a beautiful life you lead. Simplicity to me is the best way to live.... You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing., Always. ❤❤❤
Beautiful scene with the sound of the waves and the crackling fire. Very pleasant. You are lucky to have so may pretty places to go from where you live. Thank you.
Great video Wendy. Love the beach and scenery and also the trangia stove. I have a few trangia set ups but not that one. Might be on my list. Keep on camping 🏕🏕
Used to live on the west coast of Scotland and I miss the sounds of the tides. Campfire on the beach - nothing better! Your channel is exploding! So happy more folks are discovering you and your adventures.
I treasure the Pacific North West, …..everything about it. Especially a Campfire! Oh I bet Milo would love it too 🐾 Absolutely lovely, Thank you Wendy!
What a gift to see and hear the ocean again, 'just sit and watch with the fog and mist' thanks, Wendy, it works it's magic on the east coast too. Also thank you for the reminder that we share this beauty with the bears and wildlife, if we are careless with food they can pay with their life. Your grandchildren must be so proud of their rock star Grandma!
Even though you have a cozy kitchen in the van, it's nice to see that you choose to bring your food to the beach and cook when it's not raining. That's a soul thing.
Good to see you 'adventuring' again Wendy, and a bit more comfortably for this trip. lol I love the sound of the surf and the rattling of the pebbles or the 'shissing' ( a word?) of the sand as it returns with back wash of waves. A beautiful area for sure, so YES, let's go back again. 🙂👌
We used to go to tofino many times a year, off season mostly. Can’t stand the crowds. Off season gives you magical warm sunny days and wild storms. Really miss it. Thank you for sharing your joy ❤️
I use the same Trangia kit. I love it!😊 What I like the most is the silence of cooking with alcohol. I go in the forest for peace not to listen to a jet.🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing the close ups of flora and fauna. The sea urchins were cool. I can see why you enjoy the west coast so much. This is the perfect time to go camping.
I noticed the beautiful sounds most of all on this video. Thanks for bringing us to wild places. I always enjoy your videos, and the chance to learn something new.
When you say your soul is on the west coast of the Island, mine is up in the Rocky Mountains, along some of the creeks or lakes. Not in some of the big campgrounds, but rather primitive camping areas. We are so blessed in this country with such abundant beauty! Cheers!
Thank you Wendy, for doing these videos 🙏💖🥰 You bring me so much enjoyment living vicariously through you. I moved from the California mountains to Oklahoma, and these woods lack the pine tree 🌲 smell I miss so much. There’s a beautiful state park in North east Oklahoma, Natural Falls State Park. The natural springs pour continuously out of the ground, in a constant waterfall. The woods out here do have lots more ticks than in California, (I tested positive for Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, and the meat allergy that stays with you for life), so USE THE DEET 🙏🥰 Thank you again for all you do. Someday I will get strong again and go camping 🏕 once more, for now, I am just happy to have found you 🙏💖🥰
thank you for sharing your story Sandy- So sorry you became unwell from the tick- We have them here too but relatively low numbers . Still need to check- after a hike. I hope your strength returns before too long-
Thank you for another beautiful video, Wendy. We took our young children for a camping experience at the same camp site about thirty years ago. This video evokes good memories and makes me want to go there again with a couple of young grandchildren this time.
Such beautiful light and mists just before the Autumn Equinox! I can see why you love that coast so much. ... Well, you've started something! I am the proud new owner of a tarp and I'm learning knots. And I won't be skimping on my frypan size!
What a beautiful serene camping spot, Wendy! I always look up the places you go to and hope one day to be able to visit and enjoy the beauty of the nature in your neck of the woods. Love this one! 😊❤
Canada really has some beautiful places to see & camp...I'm always amazed at the places you find, Wendy! That is such a beautiful beach...I would love to sit there & take it all in, as well, Wendy!! So peaceful That stove is amazing & so tiny...definitely would be a great thing to take camping or even have for a backup emergency too. I think bringing the "Blue Lady" this time was probably a good idea, especially with this being a bear area too...gives a bit more safety. I actually fear humans more than wildlife, but at the same time, I try to be very aware of my surroundings too. I think what I love the most about your camping adventures, besides the raw, natural beauty of these places, is the fact that you are happy no matter the weather...you take each trip as it presents itself & still manage to enjoy it to the fullest!! I think we can all learn a lot from our own lives, if we all just did the same in our daily living. Thank you so much for sharing, Wendy & Blessings & love to you & your hubby!🙏♥
thank you so very much Janet- You are right about transferring what we do learn into every day. I have to remember that myself. Life is quite uncomplicated when out in nature by yourself. thanks for your message- much appreciated
Thank you Wendy ! I really enjoy your channel and thank you for showing different ways to enjoy backpacking and the outdoors . I like that you use different products then what is all over gear videos . Love the wind screen , sure could have used that on my last backpacking trip in the Sierra Mountains in CA 😁
Really love all of your videos. I find it so inspiring to see a way of extending my old Vancouver Island and Rockies exploring habits. Darn cancer in the meanwhile has cramped my style and energy a lot! 🤞🤞I can manage some version!
I was just on Vancouver Island a couple of weeks ago. You could spend a lifetime exploring it! Lovely, lovely place, which you show quite well in all your videos. Walk in peace and keep the videos coming!!
Thanks for a very satisfying video. I always wanted to get out to the west coast of the island, but haven't got there yet. Beautiful sights and sounds. Like you can hear the planet breathing. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully filmed, Wendy! I've been wanting to drive in to Bamfield but the road always deterred me. Thanks for the heads up about how it has improved...I'll be visiting for sure. Many thanks for the sharing.
What a wonderful trip Wendy. Thank you for the walk on the beach it was so welcome as we are in triple digits here in Okla. The sound of the beach was a joy. How's Milo? I hope it's working for you guys, he is a lucky dog 🐕 ❤️ think I'll watch this again😊
Another beautiful trip! We just returned from the north shore of Lake Superior in MN and spent as much time as we could on the shore. The waves are just mesmerizing. I could sit there for hours.
What a delightful campsite on the west coast of Vancouver Island! I miss the sounds of the ocean's surf roaring as it ebbs and flows. Cooking dinner over an open fire with misty trees and seascape completes the Pacific NW experience. Beautiful images of the sunset with the people gathered along the shore. Thanks for sharing! Jenny
Beautiful beach camp Wendy, it reminds me of an Island in my local area where we have camped many times before .And this camping video inspires me to make reservations there ahead of time for next season, since the season is over the end of August. The only way to get out there is by boat and there are no stores and no electricity at the tent sites (only if you are lucky to secure a yurt which only a few are available). So its primitive but a really nice experience and i love the sound of the waves at night very relaxing to go to sleep to. I love the scenery in your video what a gorgeous area and must have been amazing the wildlife you saw..And doesnt food taste awesome cooked outdoors. Thank you for sharing
Hi Wendy I love your life and what you do, where you go, You take us to such lovely camping adventures always something interesting to see . I can't blame you for wanting to sit at the beach take in the views and listen to the sounds of the waves .( I enjoy that myself.). I look forward to you coming back here to this place . Thanks so much for sharing the ocean is beautiful, A bit different from the great lakes that surround me .
Another lovely spot, Wendy! I love where you live, but I am so glad many of our campgrounds here in NC remain open year-round. After the heat of summer, I am ready for the 9 months of camping before the heat returns. Thank you for another relaxing camping trip.❤
Your videos always bring back such happy memories! I remember camping at Pachena Bay when you could set up your tent on the beach. One memorable trip we ran on the wet sandy beach at night while the phosphorescence sparkled beneath our feet! We had some great hikes to Keeha Bay. Such a special place, thanks for sharing!
sounds heavenly- I too have camped there for free back in the day" Love Keeha Bay- it is my favourite beach ever- I did a video about my visit there last year "Hiking To My Special Place"
Loving your videos Wendy and I am interested that you go on short overnight trips. It's given me food for thought as I always (until now) thought my trips needed to be a week or more. Of course, you have such lovely locations on your doorstep. Many thanks from Oz.
Thanks for the video Wendy! You are always doing something different and it’s so much fun to see what your up to. You are so brave to be out there alone when a bear was there when you arrived. I have reserved 2 more nights where we camped by the river last month, but it will be the end of October so hoping it won’t be too cold! I’ll let you know how it goes! Great to see you!
My 1st trip to Bamfield was from Seattle, in my truck with my 18’ clipper canoe on top, maybe 17 years ago. Port Alberni to Bamfield was the most frightful road I’ve ever driven, and I’m used to mountain forest service roads. Twisty terrible gravel road, single lane bridges, and huge logging trucks going 60mph consuming 2/3rds of the road and filling up the whole bridge. My next 4 trips, I chose to paddle down from PA, camping a night or two along the Alberni inlet to Bamfield, then camped on Diana island, and took the M/V Lady Rose back to PA. They hoisted my canoe and gear up onto the deck. It was fabulous! I don’t know if you can do any of that anymore. Lots of bears, especially so in the old native village sites. Did my heart good to see you out there. And knowing the road is improved, I might spend this winter planning a trip back there!
Yes, the road is so much better. I have travelled that road countless times over the last 40 years and now- a huge pleasure. I know what you mean about the trucks too- massive. Didn't see any that day. The boat going is now called the Frances Barkley and it does take freight. hope you can come again.
@@wendyoutdoors2230 LOL - you’re lucky to be alive having travelled that road so many times!Again, I’m so happy you posted this video. I’ll likely be plowing snow in 4-6 weeks as long winter lumbers in. Nothing dispels the darkness like making summer plans!!
Long to see your newest video to come out. Love your adventurous spirit. I would have been afraid to cook food with the smells attracting a bear or cougar to you relaxing there.
Hi Pete- I did a video some time in the spring on Gabriola-"This is Amazing" I did a bit of a tour then as part of the story. Do you think I should do a separate one?
You're a women after my own heart...such a beautiful life you lead. Simplicity to me is the best way to live....

Thank you so much!
I SOOOO AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks Carol- great little stove ,especially when right side up!
Used to live on the west coast of Scotland and I miss the sounds of the tides. Campfire on the beach - nothing better! Your channel is exploding! So happy more folks are discovering you and your adventures.
thank you Ellen- I imagine the coasts of Scotland are equally as lovely-
Bliss. Pure bliss. Love the cookie sheet wind screen!
works well. thanks for watching
I treasure the Pacific North West, …..everything about it. Especially a Campfire!
Oh I bet Milo would love it too 🐾
Absolutely lovely,
Thank you Wendy!
thank you for your comments . Milo will hopefully get a chance before too long.

Wendy your videos are a balm for my soul. Please continue sharing your light.
thank you Lucy for for comments.
Even though you have a cozy kitchen in the van, it's nice to see that you choose to bring your food to the beach and cook when it's not raining. That's a soul thing.
So true! I love to cook outside and on a fire is the best. thank you Paula
Ahhh...the sound of those waves transfers through! Thanks, Wendy!👍😎🇨🇦🌊✨️
so many folks love the sounds. thanks Marian
Sounds of home, though it's quite further north. I miss it.
I love the fantastic photos the peaceful campsite. I love this kind of weather for camping thank you for sharing.
thanks Pam- lots of greys in the photos. Simple pleasure.
I so love your videos and am so grateful for your knowledge and candid chats😊... I hope you will continue making many more videos ❤🍁⚘️🪷
thank you very much Marla
So nice. When my parents were alive they lived PNW and we often went to beaches like that. The sound is wonderful
Yes it is - thanks Kathy
Thank you for bringing us along on your little adventures.
you are most welcome Mary
Wendy : I love your travels. The beach with this trip is fabulous. You are blessed & so am I to watch you ! Congrats on your new dog.
thank you very much- I am very fortunate for sure-
Good to see you 'adventuring' again Wendy, and a bit more comfortably for this trip. lol I love the sound of the surf and the rattling of the pebbles or the 'shissing' ( a word?) of the sand as it returns with back wash of waves. A beautiful area for sure, so YES, let's go back again. 🙂👌
great- I will look forward to taking you!
Great trip. It's beautiful out there. Thanks for sharing your trip. Your dinner looked excellent; simple high end beach cooking.
thanks Glenn- simple but yummy
We used to go to tofino many times a year, off season mostly. Can’t stand the crowds. Off season gives you magical warm sunny days and wild storms. Really miss it. Thank you for sharing your joy ❤️
I totally agree Suzanne. Bob and I , along with Milo ,are booked into an airbnb in Oct- the shoulder season is great.
Thank you M'lady, for sharing your travels, and joys with us. Stay well & safe. Cheers❤
Thank you! You too!
Wendy, that was such a beautiful place. Thank you for taking us along. I always find your videos so peaceful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing

I'm glad the rain started falling towards the end of your stay and not earlier! Thanks for sharing such a comforting video. I loved it.
happy you enjoyed it- thanks for watching

I hope you can make it there Cathy- If camping- book early- they are lots of visitors now, especially as the road is improved.

Hello Lynn- that darn cancer is indeed a tough one. I hope you can find your way through this. It takes a lot of energy for sure. I wish you health!
What a beautiful spot! I am definitely going to go there on my next trip to see my beloved friend in Port Alberni. As always, thanks for sharing. 💕
Hope you can do that Ann- Maybe even take a day trip on the Frances Barkley- the boat that goes there. the drive was lovely too.
Beautiful spot. Thanks!
It really is! thanks Marilyn

Serenity!!! I so enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing! Look forward to seeing Milo out camping with you in the future
Us too! Not sure if we will make it this year as the wet weather is really setting in 🤞
❤😊 Beautiful video!! Enjoyed this trip thoroughly, thanks again!!😅
you are very welcome.
i love your videos so much you’re such an inspiration for me
Wow, thank you very much
Thanks for a very satisfying video. I always wanted to get out to the west coast of the island, but haven't got there yet. Beautiful sights and sounds. Like you can hear the planet breathing. Thanks for sharing.
that is a lovely way to describe the feeling- hearing the planet breathing. Perfect
Gorgeous.
absolutely!
Beautifully filmed, Wendy! I've been wanting to drive in to Bamfield but the road always deterred me. Thanks for the heads up about how it has improved...I'll be visiting for sure. Many thanks for the sharing.
Yes, do go Martha. It is so much better now- quite enjoyable .
Nothing tastes better than food cooked over a camp fire. What a beautiful location. Loved the video look forward to the next one.
thank you and thanks a lot for coming along
What a wonderful trip Wendy. Thank you for the walk on the beach it was so welcome as we are in triple digits here in Okla. The sound of the beach was a joy. How's Milo? I hope it's working for you guys, he is a lucky dog 🐕 ❤️ think I'll watch this again😊
thank you Mary- Milo is really coming along. getting lots of kisses now!
Great video as always. I love how you capture nature. Beautiful!
Thank you so much 😀
Another beautiful trip! We just returned from the north shore of Lake Superior in MN and spent as much time as we could on the shore. The waves are just mesmerizing. I could sit there for hours.
that is a huge ocean like lake- same sound! wonderful
Another awesome video 😁😁😁
Thank you so much 😀
What a delightful campsite on the west coast of Vancouver Island! I miss the sounds of the ocean's surf roaring as it ebbs and flows.

Never been to Bamfield. Thanks so much for sharing :)
It is a great place- very small and special- Next time I go I will take you all to the village and another beautiful beach- Maybe in the spring.
What a wonderful adventure! Thanks for taking us along ❣️

I enjoy the short trips. I do the longer ones with Bob in our van- both are good.
looks like a real nice place , i enjoy the cooler weather but not so much the rain
comes together around here. Most of us have rain gear out of necessity-
Thanks for the video Wendy! You are always doing something different and it’s so much fun to see what your up to. You are so brave to be out there alone when a bear was there when you arrived.

thanks Heidi. Hope you have a great time. I just came back from a mountain hike- frost in the am. very cold to me!
The sea sounds are delightful
totally!
Beautiful view. No way could I get out of that chair though!
It is very low for sure- I have developed a bit of a technique. Helps being short too!
Love this! I’d like to see the inside of your van!
My 1st trip to Bamfield was from Seattle, in my truck with my 18’ clipper canoe on top, maybe 17 years ago. Port Alberni to Bamfield was the most frightful road I’ve ever driven, and I’m used to mountain forest service roads. Twisty terrible gravel road, single lane bridges, and huge logging trucks going 60mph consuming 2/3rds of the road and filling up the whole bridge. My next 4 trips, I chose to paddle down from PA, camping a night or two along the Alberni inlet to Bamfield, then camped on Diana island, and took the M/V Lady Rose back to PA. They hoisted my canoe and gear up onto the deck. It was fabulous! I don’t know if you can do any of that anymore. Lots of bears, especially so in the old native village sites.
Did my heart good to see you out there. And knowing the road is improved, I might spend this winter planning a trip back there!
Yes, the road is so much better. I have travelled that road countless times over the last 40 years and now- a huge pleasure. I know what you mean about the trucks too- massive. Didn't see any that day. The boat going is now called the Frances Barkley and it does take freight. hope you can come again.
@@wendyoutdoors2230 LOL - you’re lucky to be alive having travelled that road so many times!Again, I’m so happy you posted this video. I’ll likely be plowing snow in 4-6 weeks as long winter lumbers in. Nothing dispels the darkness like making summer plans!!
You did such a good job taking the video.. it's a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing!
thank you Christine-
That sure looked like a great adventure. I would be a happy clam if my dog and I were to spend a few days just sitting on that beach
Next time! - Maybe Milo will join me🤞
This is wonderful !
wonderful place !
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. You have such beautiful scenery unlike here in Texas
I am very fortunate Melissa. thank you
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you too
I half expected you to pull your canoe out of the van :) Hope your puppy is adjusting well take care
wish I could- a bit on the bulky side ! Milo is great.
I love your videos 🎉🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️
Glad you like them!- thanks for watching
Looks Lovely!!
it was for sure!
Long to see your newest video to come out. Love your adventurous spirit. I would have been afraid to cook food with the smells attracting a bear or cougar to you relaxing there.
Not too likely- lots of other people in the area.
Very nice .... have you done a tour of the blue lady yet?
I did a quick tour inside another video but thinking of doing a more thorough one this fall. Thanks
nice trip
thanks Phyllis
Wendy, I wish you'd show us the inside of your new van?! I'm in the middle of building out a Promaster van and love seeing others!
