@@Dinsdale2020 I love sleeping in my travelling tent aka my car! It’s sooooo comfy. Thank you for watching and commenting, Dinsdale! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

@@garagebrewer Hi, Phil! I’ve used that hammock tent with the asymmetrical fly for years and years and years, though all kinds of rain and storms, I’ve not once had any issue! I’m excited to watch your hot tent video! 😊✌🏼

@@jacdaw1 Yahoo! It will be great to see you, Jacqui! I’m thrilled you’re coming! 🥰

@KimCheckMate Normally my videos are shorter but this is a special series; these winter hikes are too beautiful not to capture. However, in general, I know and agree. Thank you for checking me out and giving me a chance, Kim! I hope you’ll subscribe and continue to watch! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

@@20657parks Yeah, sorry about the irritating wind noise! (It didn’t feel as bad as it sounds.)

@@20657parks I actually realized I had left them there only 2KMS into my hike. But since it is the winter and there’s such little traffic through the park, I knew they would be fine. If it were the summer, I would have turned around immediately.

@@20657parks Merci beaucoup, mon amie! 🥰

@@susancaleca4796 No.

@@ReppinTheBlock Yay! Thank you for giving me a chance! Welcome! I hope you’ll enjoy my videos! 🥰🫶🏻✌🏼

@@PsunnProductions Well hello and welcome! I Hope you’ll enjoy my videos! And subscribe! And please leave your thoughts and hello’s in the comments! Thank you for giving me a chance! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

@@carolel5773 Carole! You are amazing! I can’t wait to meet you at my Oshawa book promo event. YOU inspire me to make better videos. Thank you for your ongoing support and lovely messages. They mean more to me than you may realize. 🥰🙏🏼

@ Meeting you will be my absolute pleasure. I was even wondering if I could make Pinery a day trip 😂

@ Why a day trip? Why can’t you camp overnight? If I can help, I will!

@ too funny! I was just looking at your video from last year. When I checked park availability all I saw were electric sites. When are you going in March again. I thought that I had it on my calendar.

@ March 29th

@@dan393 Dan The Man! Thank you for your ongoing support and always leaving me such positive messages. Take care and I’ll see you in the next one, my friend! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

@@garagebrewer i’m sure he was harmless and did not realize how his behaviour might have affected a woman on her own, especially a woman on her own in a foreign country doing something like this for the first time ever, ha ha. Even now, though, I would be on my guard in that situation still. I hope you’re enjoying the series, Phil. 🥰✌🏼

@@jb1934 the entire video is filmed and edited and published from my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I don’t know what you mean when you say “straight talk about the unseen person who is just beyond the camera frame, I think it’s more common on TH-cam than people realize.” Can you explain, please? In the meantime, thank you for watching and for compliment on the video and I hope you’ll continue to watch my videos, JB! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

@@Womaninthewoods13 there was a comment you were making about 30 minutes in, about if you had a friend on the trip with you, you would always have them on camera with you. whereas, most of the winter camping videos out there have some element of flim-flammery. from pretentious gear, through to plans that don't involve any actual hiking or tripping, up to and including a second person who is never shown to the viewer. meanwhile i'm watching your video and not seeing anything like that. it's pretty authentic. outbound gear from canadian tire being just one example... you'll just never ever see that on youtube! and then after that, the examples continue. thanks and keep up the great work!

@ Wow! THANK YOU! What amazing feedback. This type of compliment means THE WORLD to me. Thanks, JB! 🥰🙏🏼

@@TheWildYam Yes! Hopefully our paths will cross again one day! In the meantime, I’ll continue to watch all of your awesome videos. Happy camping, Jen (not Gin 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️)! 🥰✌🏼

@@Womaninthewoods13 Thanks! Also, I forgot to mention I like the Shambhala lined pants too. Someone thought they were Lululemon!

@@TheWildYam Aren’t they so comfy and so warm!? I love them. Have three pairs, haha. 🥰✌🏼

@@garagebrewer Right!? Soooooo beautiful! I just can’t get enough! 🥰✌🏼

@@sidneygreenstreet6368 Yessssss! Hiking in the winter is wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it along with me, Sidney! ❄️🥾🥰🥾❄️

@@campfire52 I hope you realize how much I appreciate and take to heart your lovely messages, Mister Campfire. Any chance you can come to my annual Group Camp on March 29th? It would be so lovely to meet you. I think you are somewhere in the US, is that right?

@@Womaninthewoods13 That would be a very long ways to travel since I do live in Oregon and way out on the West Coast of the U.S. I will just be at the Group Camp in spirit and not actually physically attending. I will be there in thought and spirit though. Thank you for thinking of me. Take care Christina.

@@lesteph101 Merci bcp, Monsieur Le Steph! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

@@Belmar841 Thanks, Belmar! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

@@ThyRoeun-o8b Well, yay! You can thank me later, haha! I hope you do! 🥰✌🏼

@@karenbergmann209 Moi, aussi, mon amie! 🥰

@@rnish2958 Haha, I love that cookies falls under essentials! 😂😉 Yes, the cold temperatures are not for everyone. I hope you enjoyed my video all the same! 🥰✌🏼

@@Womaninthewoods13 I totally get it. Back many years ago (in the prior century), I would go skiing in NH every Wen, when they had 1/2 price lift tickets. Get up, breakfast at McD's. I could get in an affordable half days skiing. Had the mountain to myself. No lift lines. It was so quiet. The air was clean, sky was blue. 5F was the coldest weather I ever skied.

@@rnish2958 “Had the mountain to myself.” Now THAT is the dream. 🥰 I experienced that a lot hiking in the Pyrenees mountains and even sometimes in the French Alps. I think you’d enjoy my GR10 series, which chronicles my 1000-molette hike through the French Pyrenees. Here is the link, in case you are interested: The GR10 th-cam.com/play/PLu_Hc4HeAa3nxhPOFJKBRzepUVZD1FBtx.html

@@susanwildrose Amazing! Enjoy! Thanks for watching and commenting. Will you be making a video of your hikes?

@@Womaninthewoods13 I may :) I've just started winter camping. Killbear is really nice - I camped there earlier in January, just no long hikes in the winter.

@ Well, I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic experience at Algonquin. Let me know how it goes! 🥰✌🏼

@soloh5843 Yay! A fellow nerd, haha! I also have a chart for Algonquin backcountry spots. 😁😁😁

@@maggievenables9472 Very true, Maggie, haha! Great to hear from you! 🥰✌🏼

@@karenbergmann209 I have snowshoes but actually most of the trail was broken. Only on a few spots on the high ridges was the trail blown over with snow. 😊

You do the same as me camp in your car

@@shannonm2689 Are you coming to the group camp in March, Shannon?

@@Womaninthewoods13 maybe

@ haha, ok

it's a great video by the way. i've seen a bunch of mew lake camping videos, but most people don't actually get out and do very much. so there are a lot of nice little touches here. i've slept in my car too back in the day, i had a volkswagen golf not much bigger, and yet it was not a good sleep at all. don't know how you manage to fit all the stuff in that space!

@@Wabbajack-kj2kg Yay! Welcome! I will be posting a new video on Wednesday! I hope you’ve subscribed, Wabbajack! 🥰🙏🏼🫶🏻✌🏼

@@garagebrewer Hahaha, Fireball! My trail name! Since this time, I have graduated to less sugary whiskeys, ha ha. But, I still very much enjoy my fireside whiskey after a long day of hiking. I hope you’re enjoying the series, Phil! 🥰✌🏼

@@lindaandrews1892 hi, Linda! Did you see that I’m going on tour promoting my book? I know that you’re an author, too. Would love to meet you. Are you located in Phoenix?

@ Yes, I am. If you come, please bring rain

I’m excited for you! I’m curious what your van set up is like. Without knowing anything about what you’ve already done to prepare, I would just remind you that layering in wool clothing is of utmost importance. What kind of sleeping bag do you have? What do you use for a heating system in your van overnight? What do you plan to do during the day time? I suggest doing some of the day hikes as keeping moving keeps you warm and the views are absolutely beautiful with all of the snow cover. Have a wonderful time and thank you for watching and commenting! 🥰❄️✌🏼

Thank you so much for your response. I have sent you an email, I hope you don’t mind.

@ That’s why I make my email public! I’ll have a look and respond as quickly as I can! 🥰✌🏼

@@garagebrewer i’m afraid to even watch the series, I was so inexperienced back then! But I’m also curious myself, ha ha. Anyway, I hope it’s enjoyable for you, Phil! Happy Tuesday! 😊✌🏼

OMG I will watch the part you’ve mentioned but I am scared and laughing already. I’m sure I sound quite green and naive, haha! I’m so curious now! Will message again after I watch!

Hahahaha. I’m sure another sip of wine helped with the packing! 😂😂😂

@@sbirnstiel Hey, Britney and Curtis! (Did I spell those correctly?) So awesome to meet you both! I admire you guys for knowing it is worth the long drive, even for a day trip. I was so impressed when I heard that you two drove up just for the day! Haha. I never saw a moose…omg, did you guys see one!?

@Womaninthewoods13 Should have left my name, it's Susanne with the Nepali Hoodie, one of the other couples you met 😀

@@sbirnstiel Hahaha, sorry, Susanne! I met a couple on the trail and we were talking about moose, too. Thank you for clarifying and great to hear from you! Did you and Tom end up doing the Mizzy Lake trail?

Bring a whistle and bear spray, stay alert, and just go. You are afraid because you don’t have the experience of being out there (in bear territory). The more you’re out where bears are, the more comfortable you will be. I’ve never seen a bear. Make noise as you walk. You’ll likely never see one, either! I hope that helps! 🥰🥾🥾🫶🏻✌🏼

@Womaninthewoods13 you are right! I have to just go to get more comfortable. I have a refery whistle with the ball inside, bear spray, and I've hung my keys off of my pants before. And I shout or yell something or sing or play music on my phone but never wear headphones. And yes, I'm always alert looking 👀 everywhere. I would feel more comfortable if there are other people in the area in bear country too. Because I went to one bear area and I was the only one there and I chickened out. I think I'm going to start with Gatineau Park because Gatineau always has people. In fact, it's the second most visited parks in all of Canada. Then I will venture off into more remote bear areas. I used to always hike with a dog too but I don't have a dog right now. Huskies and German Sheppherds are good guard dogs. Thanks for the advice and great videos :)

@ My absolute pleasure! Please keep me posted on your progress! Also, I am coming to Ottawa on April 5th promoting my two books. I hope you can make it! I’d love to meet you! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼

Yes, the warning tent is always there in winter. At this campground. Next weekend, I am going somewhere else where I don’t think there will be one…but who knows! ❄️❄️🥰🥾🥾🫶🏻✌🏼

@@bigcat880 Monsieur Grand Chat! Ça va? I always look forward to your hello! By the way, where are you located again? USA, I think?

@ Yes in USA, Vermont! Basically southern Quebec 😊

@@agtyu I’m baaaaaaaaaaaack! 😉

@@Atlanta_Cyclist I think you’re right. It amounts to the same thing, pretty much, in the end, I think.

@@herb1553 I don’t think I need the bear spray, either. But better safe than sorry. Also, it’s for intruders “on four legs or two.” Just a smart thing to always have. You start taking it out of the pack and then you forget to put it in when you actually need it. ❄️❄️🥰❄️❄️

@@garagebrewer Haha, well if it’s to keep the snow out, the method is failing miserably! I think it’s just to locate them under all the snow! Ooooohhh, I’m thrilled that you’d never thought of doing prepared pots of food! It really worked out well and I did it again this past weekend. Talk to you again soon, Phil! ❄️❄️😊❄️❄️

@@JasonSnailer Hello, Jason from Texas! Have you ever done the Lone Star Hiking Trail?
