About Me

Car Camper
to Backpacker

Car camping and a love of nature was always present in my childhood but it wasn’t until 2019 that I discovered hiking and backpacking. I struggled to find something constructive to do during vacation rather than sit at home and after a few online searches, I came across The Bruce Trail – a 900 KM hiking trail follows the Niagara Escarpment from Queenston (Niagara Falls) to Tobermory, Ontario.

Needless to say, a new passion emerged.

After a day hike in the Bruce with my friend Rob, I decided to thru-hike the Bruce Trail a second time.

An adventure throughout Scotland countryside to get to the most remote pub of the UK.

Latest Thru-Hike: Pukaskwa National Park (failed)

An adventurer’s dream that offers a challenging but rewarding premiere Ontario wilderness experience.

Gear lists and recommendations

I lost track and count of the number of hours that I have spent researching backpacking gear. Vendors, features… Unfortunately, everyone needs to do SOME research to find the gear that is right for themselves.

Not all gear I use personally will be best suited for everyone. I can only hope that the information we provide here will make your choices a little easier and more informed.
