  • Lindeman Lake is one of the BEST beginner backpacking trips close to Vancouver, BC. Located in Chilliwack, this hike is short and steep, but the views from the campsite are incredible! You'll also most likely see some friendly wildlife (ducks & otters) in the lake. Make sure to register for your backcountry camping permit online if you will be staying overnight at the lake - it's $5 per person. Link to permit info below.
    If you are a beginner backpacker looking to do your first overnight trip, I highly recommend hiking up to Lindeman Lake. This hike would be equally as awesome as a day hike if you're not keen on staying overnight. Bonus points...it's DOG FRIENDLY! (on leash) I didn't bring Moon this time, but I saw lots of other doggos on the trail :)
    Anytime you venture into the backcountry make sure that you have the right gear, permits, and always practice Leave No Trace principals! I will link a few of my backpacking gear videos and info on LNT below.
    ↠ ALWAYS follow Leave No Trace principles. More on that here: leavenotrace.ca/the-seven-pri...

    Been backcountry camping on Vancouver Island with my spouse. On or first outing we carried store bought meals; they were disgusting and laden with salt. After a full day of hiking, we'd consume an entire package each, which was often 2 or more servings. Aside form the blandness, the notion of intaking 5000% of one's daily sodium allowance in a single meal was eye-opening.
    We continue to camp in the deep wilderness; now we cook and dehydrate our own meals. They're delicious, nutritious, and reconstitute far better than store bought. Sodium levels are also sane.
    Happy trails!

    Love the video!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to book a campsite for Lindeman Lake all day with no luck. I feel like my head could explode trying lol.
    Was this just first come first serve?

    I love that you showed the skincare part of this video! I’m just getting into backpacking and I was hoping to bring a couple things but wasn’t sure if people do because of the scent. Do you bring some kind of deodorant/antiperspirant?
    Also I’m from Vancouver island and I’m so happy I found your channel; your videos are beautiful and get me excited to get out there!

    • @NinaDefilla
      @NinaDefilla  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Amanda! I bring a very basic skincare routine with me and deodorant, toothpaste, etc. Anything that has a scent I always leave in designated food storage bins or hang from a tree at night. Glad you enjoy my videos ☺️ thank you

    Lindeman lake is the perfect hike for begginer over night camping, I would also recommend green drop lake and flora lake and even radium lake. I have done them all. FLORA was the hardest

    so glad i found this channel ! happy to be a new subscriber. i'm wondering if anyone knows whether you need to make $ reservations to backcountry camp at lindeman ? the provincial park websites say so, but I'm having trouble navigating where I can make a reservation that isn't for a traditional campground. other older blogs say backcountry is on a first come first serve basis, but I'm sure that's not so anymore. i appreciate any info ! now I'm about to watch the solo hike in joffre video !

    • @MyaHofer

    • @NinaDefilla
      @NinaDefilla  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Mya! Thanks for joining me 😊 for Lindeman Lake camping you just need a backcountry permit. They are $5 and I linked the permit page in my description. No reservation is needed because the campground itself is first come first served. Let me know if that helps!

    My friends and i are planning on going for labor day long weekend. I see theres no campfires allowed but was there anywhere nice for 6ish people to hangout? I guess the beach

    • @NinaDefilla
      @NinaDefilla  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ya the beach area is good. If you’re going on a weekend I recommend getting up there early. It gets super busy!
