- On Saturday, May 18th, after driving to Niagara Falls and back to be with family for the day, I drove to some Crown Land where I car camped for the night so that I would be ready to start early the next morning for my backcountry camp adventure in Algonquin Park. On Sunday, after doing a short day hike, I inflated my Alpacka packraft and paddled and portages for 3-1/2 hours to get to silent and serene Linda Lake. There, I enjoyed a wonderful stay, enjoying the solitude and a roaring campfire amid the seeet sounds of the Spring peepers and the lovely lulling of the loons. On holiday Monday the 20th, after paddling out the next morning, I prepared and enjoyed a unique meal of ratatouille with mashed potatoes.
So much and so little happened in such a short time that was also like a wonderful little eternity; an entity of time into its own. Please come along for one of my most precious solo adventures…
Perfect video to wrap up the week. Thanks for sharing your recent adventure. 💙🙂
My pleasure! Thank you for watching. I’m out on another adventure now, actually. I’m sitting in front of a morning campfire and getting ready to hike out into the backcountry. Can’t wait! Have a great weekend! 🫶🏻✌🏼
Beautiful adventure! So tragic about the moose and the people that were hurt. Life is special and you have to enjoy every moment because you never know. You learned some valuable lessons on this trip and we learned as well. Awesome video! Thank you.
Thank you for your wise words, Mark. And thank you for watching and commenting. 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼
Howdy Miss Christina! That was such a beautiful lakeside camp spot.. So much better than previous trip. Awesome lake views. Thanks for sharing! Until next time, take care and god bless
Thank you, Dan. Have a wonderful weekend. 🫶🏻✌🏼
I just returned from a camping adventure myself so I am a little late with watching and commenting on the video. I am pleased to see that you produced a couple of videos while I was gone. This one was very well done for certain. You picked a great way to spend your time outdoors on this one with the addition of the pack in and camp and the journey between sites that you accomplished with your inflatable kayak. Great views of an enchanting area that offers some challenges along with the beautiful scenery. Thank you once again for allowing us to join you. Keep on doing what you do and enjoying yourself. See you on the next one.
Yay! Glad to hear you were out on another one of your own camping adventures, Mr. Campfire. I hope you had a great time. Yet again, it again, thank you for watching and commenting. You’re the best. Have a great week, my friend. 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼
Wonderful atmosphere out there. Incredible scenery
I’m out on another adventure now… Can’t wait to share this video soon. Thanks for stopping by, Hikesome. I just subscribed to your channel!
Glad you survived the bugs and enjoyed such a beautiful campsite.
Thanks, Linda! Battling the bugs was well worth it! I hope you had a great weekend. Have a great week! 😊✌🏼

Hi Woman in the Woods! Been watching for years! ✌🏼👊
I remember your name! I remember asking you if you were Matt from Aviator (a restaurant here in Toronto). I’m not sure if you replied but I’m pretty sure you are not him, haha. Hello! THANK YOU for sticking by me for so long! 🫶🏻🙏🏼✌🏼
Hi. Nice to see your new video. Just started watching.
Great vid!
Thanks, Smokey McSpitter, haha. Just subscribed to your channel, by the way! 😊✌🏼
My skin feels like Braille 😂😂 That made me laugh!! Great video Christina :)
Haha, I’m glad I made you laugh! Have a great weekend! 😊✌🏼
You found a wonderful campsite. The sounds of nature, and the night images really connected with some of my camping memories. I was disappointed when you had to pack up as I wasn’t ready to go home yet. This video really ‘captured’ me this week!! Well done!!
Thanks, Robert! I’m out in another adventure now. The stars last night were incredible. Have a great weekend, my friend! 😊✌🏼
I can't image what you can see with a dark sky. My near a city location has too much light pollution for me to see only but he brightest stars
I'm glad you can experience a true dark sky night .
I find I always particularly enjoy your videos that include some packrafting. I think this is because I'm so envious that you have one and I don't yet!
I think your packraft was not losing air, but almost certainly it underwent a reduction in air volume as the air inside the pontoons cooled from conductive heat loss to the cold water. It's normal to have to top up inflatable boats when they are in colder water. It's worth keeping in mind that after you top it up and bring it up on land the air inside will expand again when it's no longer in contact with the cold water, and if it's sitting in direct sunlight, that volume of air inside can increase as the air expands. This could lead to a rupture at a seam (or a failed valve).
Hope this helps!
Cheers! :)

MARTIN! I miss you! We need to meet for a coffee and catch-up! Thank you for your always knowledgeable comments… Yes, that helps! I knew about the air expanding in the heat but had not thought of the opposite reaction caused by the cold water. Knowing this now brings much peace of mind. I hope you are doing well, my friend. Great to hear from you. 😊🫶🏻✌🏼
@@Womaninthewoods13 Absolutely, let's do coffee sometime when you are passing through. I would love to catch up!
Awesome video always look forward to your videos
Thanks, Shannon! Have a great weekend! And always great to hear from you! 😊✌🏼
You also.l be safe
That's awesome ....
Haha, thanks, Jay. I’m back at it again right now. Sitting in front of a morning campfire. Life is good. Have a great weekend, Jay. 🫶🏻✌🏼
@Womaninthewoods13 Hey question do you and if so what safety device do you use in backcountry for communications....thx
@@jayburne6825 Garmin mini InReach
Thanks I should get some kind of safety device
@@jayburne6825 Yes, you should! I highly recommend the one I have! 😊✌🏼
what a wonderful adventure, love the scenery always beautiful anywhere in Algonquin park. been there a few times when I lived in Ontario but now I am back in Nova Scotia I primarily camp on Crown land in the wilderness. great video take care and be safe.
Great to hear from you again, Grumpy Jim! Nova Scotia! I rode my bicycle from Toronto to there in 2016. Finished off the ride by doing the exquisite Cabot Trail. I love Nova Scotia! How do you find Crown Land there? I know that only Ontario and Alberta publish an atlas of Crown Land. Please let me know! 😊✌🏼
Same way just go online and search crown land Nova Scotia.
@@adventureswithgrumpyjim1089 Okay! Thanks! 😊🙏🏼
That site at Linda lake was fantastic! What a journey for you in one of your favorite parks! Those bugs though 😳
“Those bugs, though” is right! Oh, man. That’s life in Canada! 🤷🏻♀️✌🏼
@@Womaninthewoods13 same in Vermont!
@@bigcat880 All summer?
@@Womaninthewoods13 yes indeed, it’s such a short season that the bugs make the most of it!
💫
What a wonderful serene weekend. Thanks for sharing. Did I hear you are doing the Tour Du Mont Blanc this year?
Oui! 😊
I LOVE your content! Thank you!
May I make a suggestion?
Consider making the videos with no loud intro and outtro music … the videos are perfect company for me to fall asleep to … except I can’t because of the loud music at the end … and beginning too, if I have them playing on repeat or back to back 😮😢❤
By the way, I was referred to your channel by that funny stealth camping guy’s channel … I think he’s near Edmonton Alberta?
I appreciate that suggestion. I have been toying with the idea of leaving music out, at least for the mini-adventures. I’ll give it more thought. Thank you for your lovely comment and helpful suggestion! 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼
I really like that tent. Specifically that it uses one pole. I noticed you're using a stick, which you could acquire on trail. Are you thinking about going without trekking poles on the GR5?
Heck no! Trekking poles all the way, especially in the mountains! But for my paddle-in spots, no, I don’t bring them for the relatively short and generally flat portages. It’s a great tent, Phil. I highly recommend it! 😊✌🏼
Seen your channel name on Steve Wallis channel I am from Glasgow so I haven't done much camping I am 49 the older I get the more I get attracted to camping/van life tbh what I know about camping you could write on the back of a stamp
Hahaha, you are funny! Anyway, you are young, lots of time to learn and get out there! Start small and safe and dream big. Thank you for watching all the way over there in Scotland! I appreciate you giving me a chance. I hope you will enjoy my videos and subscribe. Take care for now, Joseph. 🥰🙏🏼✌🏼
Subbed up ,watching episode 202 those little flies are called midgies in Scotland I am sure, some of the backdrops are amazing. 🔥
