You were determined to get that fallen sausage, that you almost risked your hand! Lol! Thanks Christina for another great share. Looking forward to watching more. Happy Summer!
Thank you so much for making these videos. I'm going on my first ever paddling trip - Smoke Lake, Ragged, Big Porcupine - in September. It is so great to see how someone else does it and learn about the lakes. You didn't have dinner as planned but WE learned from watching the Sausage Fail. I was planning on bringing that and maybe I'll precook it a bit. Thanks!
Thanks sue. Good luck on your trip. Have you taken any courses to learn the ins and outs of backcountry camping or are you going with someone experienced? That’s quite a loop for a first time backcountry trip. Hope you’re safe out there. 😊
Your outdoors is a relaxing way to erase the mind of stressful days I n the city ! I love the sounds the smells and wildlife and picturesque views of landscapes ! You channel gives that ! Keep experiencing and taping I'm sure to watch when I get back from my adventure . Love it kiddo 👍 . Needless to say I was born in a city lived in one but moved on to the good life .
Yellow-Yellow mama bear in the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks. She died, but taught her cubs how to get into the Bear Vault. Mixed info on whether there are currently any bears in the area that can open them, but the DEC doesn't want you using them in the High Peaks region.
@@CamperChristina They require a hard canister in the High Peaks during the season bear are active, but push you to use one of the other brands, like Garcia. They say they are not allowed, but the regulation doesn't state that. Also cannot use an Ursack or hang food there. www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7225.html It is a high use area and the bears are familiar with camping locations and go for easy pickings. Many other places are fine. And further reading says she didn't teach her cubs and that no other bears have opened them. But the rumors abound. My trips are typically no more than 3 days and I have no trouble fitting in what I need. I like how the clear plastic makes it easier to see what you're grabbing and the wide opening. I don't foresee myself camping in the high peaks area, so the BV450 is fine for my use. In particular, it keeps the chipmunks out!!!
I don’t think I ever would camp there either but good info to know. I have had up to 6 days of food in the canister that I have so suits me well also. Thanks for the great comments. Hope to hear from you again. cheers !
Hi Christina, thank you for the video. I like solo canoe camping too. Bill Mason once said, “people say you should not do wilderness camping alone, funny...I have never heard that from anyone who has done it”. :-) I have not been able to get out yet this year, so thank you for letting me live vicariously through your trip.
You are very welcome and I am happy to have you along on any of my adventures in the future. I am not familiar with that quote. I find it very Interesting but obviously don’t quite agree with it. Lol. Hope you get out soon! Cheers!
You should have gone at the sausage from the other end of the fire! So that it was blowing away from you and not towards you :) this is an incredible video thank you for sharing
Just an FYI, if you use metal skewers they help things cook a little from the inside, so if you'd used one on the plain sausage you probably wouldn't have lost it and the one in the wrap might have gotten more cooked before the dough turned mushy. But I probably would have cooked the sausage most of the way before putting the dough on it anyway. I did wonder why you didn't just lift the grill off the fire to get at the one that fell in. LOL
Yes mine too. I add music to enhance the video but I try to keep some of that raw so you can just enjoy the sounds. Lmk if I’m overpowering it too much with music. 😊Cheers !
What a nice site, and a great trip to get the season started. I always enjoy watching your adventures Christina. Stay safe and hope you're able to get out for many more this season.
maybe you could have wrapped the sausage and wrap in tin foil, looked great regardless. love the bear vault i want to get one actually around that size or slightly larger. nice one nighter, looking forward to more of your backcountry adventures. hoping to do the same myself thanks for sharing
Thank you. I take a huge amount of time to pick just the right music. I really appreciate it when people comment about it and tell me they like it. It’s probably one of the hardest parts about making a video. Thanks so much!
Five weeks until my first backcountry trip with my 12 year old. Doing a family trip with the car on Crown land first to practice! I love watching your honest experiences. :)
Do you still have to place to bear canister far away from your tent? Or can you place it near you when you sleep? Just wondering I always bear bag and far away from where I sleep, I was just wondering if it was the same with the bear canister?
I have all the information of all the gear I use on my trips on my website at CamperChristina.com. Check the gear tab under tents. I have only ever had the one version but I have heard all of the others are good as well. They have a few different models depending on what you use them for. Cheers!
I stayed at that same campsite in mid-June this year (also a solo trip.) I agree that it is a great campsite. It's on a point with good swimming and is very private. Most of the canoe traffic seems to go the other way around the island as you enter Ragged Lake. There is a site further into Ragged Lake on an elevated island that appears to have it's own sandy beach, but I bet it is very hard to get because of its desirability.
I love your videos! I love Ragged lake and my favorite spot is the little island my family and I have wonderful memories, we named it “Happy Island”. Would love to camp with you, you are a rockstar!
Thank you for what you do! I would love to do a trip with you. I am heading there (Algonquin) in Aug for a 10 day trip attempting the infamous 5305 portage from Dickson to Opeongo (my first trip here ever lol). Watching your channel and many others has sparked something in me to get r done!
It’s awesome. Lol. If you want to see my review on it, it’s on my website Camperchristina.com under the gear tab. There’s a link to the vendor with even more info on it there. Hope that helps. Cheers! 😊
Better than sitting at home ever ! Love the outdoors ! Enjoying your beautiful mother earth 🌎❤ ! How awesome is that 👏
Awesome campsite!
Were Free...Great to see you out Christina
Thanks Dennis. Cheers

I screamed when the sausage fell...
Hahaha me too! Thanks for the chuckle. Cheers 😊

Thanks so much for the sausage tip! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope to hear from you again soon. Cheers!
My son and I are doing this same trip at the end of July for 3 nights on ragged. We Both have never been to Algonquin
That’s great. I hope you have an amazing time. Lmk if I can help. Cheers !

Thanks for sharing your first solo trip. Very nice. Great monologue, as usual!!🌲🌿🐾
Thank you. Cheers !
@@CamperChristina Yeah, your sound tracks are always cool. As mentioned.
The sound of the paddle in the water as you paddle out of the bay soothes my soul. Great to see you back in your element!
Yes mine too. I add music to enhance the video but I try to keep some of that raw so you can just enjoy the sounds. Lmk if I’m overpowering it too much with music. 😊Cheers !
Take care my friend. Love your passion .
Thank you !!!!! 😊😊😊
Once again, loving it.
Thank you Corey. 😊
How are the bugs
They’re fine. Lol.
So sad about the lost sausage 😢. Great one nighter! Beautiful site you found.
Hahaha. Too funny. Thanks for watching. Cheers ! 😊
It was absolutely tragic when you lost the sausage in the fire. I needed a trigger warning for that lost sausage. TRAGEDY!
Bhahahahaha hilarious ! 😘😘😘
What a nice site, and a great trip to get the season started. I always enjoy watching your adventures Christina. Stay safe and hope you're able to get out for many more this season.
Paula Bildson thank you Paula. 😘

Thanks for watching. I love that you put both of your names because I keep screwing them up. I’m sorry. Happy paddling!
CamperChristina.com no worries here!
So sorry you lost part of your meal. You must have been hungry! Great trip otherwise, thanks for sharing. Look fwd to your next adventure.
Haha all good. I had lots of food with me. I almost always have amazing meals so I guess I can’t win em all. Thanks for watching. Cheers ! 😊
Great overnighter to get your feet wet again. Looking forward to the new season and your next adventure.

So nice to hear the loons call. I never get tired of that sound!
Yes same. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
Great video Christine! I felt bad the moment when you lost your sausage! Good thing you had another lol
Hahahaha it’s the the comment of the season so far. Lmao. Thanks for watching. Cheers !
maybe you could have wrapped the sausage and wrap in tin foil, looked great regardless. love the bear vault i want to get one actually around that size or slightly larger. nice one nighter, looking forward to more of your backcountry adventures. hoping to do the same myself thanks for sharing
sue zaple thank you. Cheers !
Love the blues music!
Thank you. I take a huge amount of time to pick just the right music. I really appreciate it when people comment about it and tell me they like it. It’s probably one of the hardest parts about making a video. Thanks so much!
I dont think anyone can say they never dropped food into the fire cooking off a grill. It happens. You laugh you carry on.
Yeah very true. It was just a joke. Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers ! 😊
PS. have to give you credits for the music choice! 👍👍👍😊
Thank you.
Five weeks until my first backcountry trip with my 12 year old. Doing a family trip with the car on Crown land first to practice! I love watching your honest experiences. :)
Awe thank you so much. Hope you have an awesome trip. Great to hear ppl getting their kids out there. Cheers!
Do you still have to place to bear canister far away from your tent? Or can you place it near you when you sleep? Just wondering I always bear bag and far away from where I sleep, I was just wondering if it was the same with the bear canister?
Yes, I bring it out to a spot in the woods away from the tent. Just for added safety. Nothing crazy though. I have total faith in it. Lol.
What is the name of the bug shelter and place it can be purchased? Are there any other tarp / bug shelters you would recommend?

That’s crazy. I hope you have a great time. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers
I love Canada. I gotta get back up there!
I love the "bear vault." I've never heard of it. Being able to camp again is such a great feeling! Stay safe and keep on paddling!
I love mine. Lol. And yes, being able to camp again is awesome. Stay safe also. Happy camping. 😊
Never seen the bear vault before. I am so used to hanging my food. What can you tell me about it?
It’s awesome. Lol. If you want to see my review on it, it’s on my website Camperchristina.com under the gear tab. There’s a link to the vendor with even more info on it there. Hope that helps. Cheers! 😊
One sip of vodka and you are all whoop whoop and shaking it all about. : )
Lol. I know right ? I don’t drink that much. Lol. Just a note I was whooping before I had the sip. That’s just me. Lol. Without anything. Lol
