With all the outdoor activities I do involving water, I first encountered the chawel, a product made by a local Vancouver-based company, in an online outdoor activity web store. Two minutes later, I totally impulse bought it.
Last week, I wrote about the three different types of fun, giving various examples from outdoor adventures. I mentioned that I only ever had one experience in the outdoors that I consider to have been a "type 3 fun" experience. It happened when I was car camping a few years ago.

Last weekend, when I was taking a wilderness survival course, I encountered a concept I had never heard before, that there isn't just one kind of fun, but three. It came out of a story of his own wildness survival situation that our instructor was telling us about.

The first time I ate this creamy pulled pork keto burrito bag, I was in the backcountry doing a wilderness survival course. When I took my first bite, it really didn’t feel like “survival” at all. It was a delicious, hot savoury meal that rivalled meals I’ve made fresh at home.

This past weekend, my friend Sean and I took the Wilderness Survival course offered by Can West Mountain School. With all the hiking, camping, and kayaking I had been doing, I figured there would be a lot of useful skills to be learned that could help me out if an emergency situation should happen.

I knew we were going to have sunny, warm weather yesterday. I had hoped to get out with a friend on an overnighter, but she ended up having to work. Failing to find someone who could go backpacking Sunday-Monday, I decided to do the next best thing; an epically long hike done entirely in one day.

Early fall is one of the best times to go backpacking in BC. The bugs are gone. The weather has cooled off. You might even get some fall colours depending on where you go. I try to get out backpacking as often as I can this time of year.

For many years I have wanted to visit Osoyoos and camp at Haynes' Point Provincial Park, located on a thin spit of land that juts out into the lake. The sites always looked so idyllic, especially those next to the water. Plus, I had always wanted to see Spotted Lake in person...

In my last blog post, I left off the story of my trek across the Howe Sound Crest Trail when I got to the Lions. Now onto the conclusion of this story of my first solo backpacking trip.
In my last post, I shared my packing list for my first solo backpacking trip, which I had poured over in excruciating detail down to the gram to be the best prepared with the least possible amount of weight. In this post, I'll share the first part of my journey on the Howe Sound Crest Trail.
