- On Saturday, September 9th, and Sunday, September 10th, 2022, I drove north from Toronto to again hike the Highlands Backpacking Trail in Algonquin Park. This is my second time doing this trail, although I took a bit of a different route this time. The weather was perfect, the vistas spectacular, and, except for the annoyance of trash and air pollution, it was nevertheless a wonderful and peaceful experience. I just love backpacking so much. I hope you enjoy this video!
This is the second time I've watched this video since you first posted it and I feel I have a new appreciation for your anger and frustration with those who don't understand the concept of Leave No Trace. Thank you for packing that stuff out.
Another great hike and camp Christina. And it is okay to complain about what careless fools do to our nature areas and forests. Anyone who actually cares about them should feel they have a right to complain when they see the damage that careless people are doing to these areas. I think that we can all agree that the world needs these areas to be sustained for future populations to be able to enjoy what we are now enjoying. Thank you for always going above and beyond to do your part in keeping these areas clean and enjoyable. It should inspire each and everyone of us to do the same. And thank you for allowing us to join you on another beautiful adventure. See you on the next one and stay happy and healthy.
You’re so awesome, Mister Campfire. Thanks so much. 💛
Just found your channel, beautiful hike. Canned Ravioli and Bass Pro cap drew me in 😁Howdy from Texas ! Appalachian Trail 2023
Howdy and welcome! So you’re doing the entire AT in 2023?
I feel you in this video. You've hiked 15+km into Algonquin back country, one would think you could expect clean/beautiful nature as well as peace & quiet. And then...you got crap everywhere & noisy neighbours. I'd be frustrated too! I hope you were still able to enjoy it somewhat! Also hope your book launch went well 😀 I would have loved to come but I don't handle Toronto too well these days 😆. Take care Christina! - Sharon
Nice to learn your name, Sharon! (Again? 😬) I understand about coming into the city, not a worry! Thanks for your comment. I did still enjoy myself. Very nice to hear from you, as always! 💛
Me and my family have done this trail twice now, it really is an amazing trail, the litter is bad but there are some really great scenes
I didn’t find a lot of litter in the regular sense; no wrappers on trail, for example. But the large items left behind at campsites is pretty disappointing. Anyhoo. 🤷🏻♀️
Great video! I hope to get out camping this year.
I hope you do, too!
And it tastes great!! Love your reasons for dining w the Chef. Thats like explaing a love for KD. No need. 😂😂
Haha. I also like Alpha-getti. 😁
@@Womaninthewoods13 a fav from childhood!
Yeah, we don't build our life on the opinions of others and likewise don't let the behaviour of others affect our enjoyment... I wish! It was kind of interesting to see the items left behind. I hope you get to spend more of your free time doing this sort of thing. Anywhoooo...
Well said. Thank you for reminding me of this! Still…it’s disheartening. Anyhoo! Thank you for watching and commenting, John! 😊🙏🏼✌🏼
Finally caught up to your most current video, I was so behind! What a summer you’ve had, and as always, I enjoy your videos. You are a back packing champion! 👏🏻.
My oldest child gave me the term "Trasher" when he was about 4. It has become a most common refrain for our family ever since! We are always sad to see their trails, but you need never apologize for calling out what you find. My kids are with you too! Keep hiking without a trace! Cheers!
Haha, your kid sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing that little story. And for watching and commenting. Cheers!😊🤘🏼
Gracious! How frustrating to see the stuff people leave in nature! Nice to be in cooler weather and fewer bugs. Great music!
Yessssssssss! Loving the absence of mosquitoes and head-swarming flies! Woot, woot! 😁😁😁
Ontario parks need to start a stronger Leave No Trace campaign to help the trashers who are new to the backcountry
I agree! 😊✌🏼
Lovely! Cheers for more awesome and exciting hikes! 🥂❤️✨
Thank you! New video every Wednesday. Thanks for watching!
Cutest grump evar, though.
Hello, Aw Ja! Yes, I first saw this style in France, and bought one for the novelty of it; had never seen a can opener like that before. This one was made of very thick metal and would last a lifetime. But I couldn’t figure out how to use it/it was “too hard” compared to a regular can opener. Now that I “get it” and am a “big girl now” 🤣😁💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 I can’t find it! Anyhoo. Thanks for your lovely comment, Sir Aw Ja. 😊🙏🏼💛✌🏼
I love this channel so much !
Over 2k subs!!!
GO Christina !!!
Omg, really!? Yay! That makes me so happy to read! Thank you for letting me know! And thanks for the support! ❤️❤️❤️
Great hike! And I wish people didn’t leave their junk but bless you for picking it up!
I picked up what I could. Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Grand Chat. 😊🙏🏼✌🏼
Nice to see the new shoes at last... Selfie stick next?
Omg thank you so much for reminding me!!! Yes! 🤣🤣🤣
We were on that trail recently too and it’s so disappointing to see the litter. It’s getting worse every year.
Great video. Love being inspired by your trips.
Nice to “meet you, Sarah! Thanks for watching and commenting. Hopefully, post-pandemic, the state of things will improve. Perhaps many of the newbies-due-to-Covid will either learn or leave. 🙂
Good looking trail to break in your new boots. I hope your book release party on the17th is wildly successful!!
Thanks, Robert. Pray for no rain for me, please! I thought I had booked a covered space but, alas, it is not. The forecast does look good, though. I’ve been so busy preparing! I hope all is well on your end. Take care, talk to you soon! 😊✌🏼
you're really cute when you're hangry....i'd hike with you anytime. Im doing western uplands this spring
😆 I’ll have to re-watch this video; I don’t remember being hangry, haha. Are you doing the full 88kms of Western Uplands? Have you done it before? Check out my Algonquin playlist. I have a video of my hike of it. 😊
@@Womaninthewoods13 I would love to do the 88km but its hard to find people who are willing to rough it for 4 days. I may have to do that one myself or...with a lovely lady;)
we're veering right towards Nor-ah Lake. I definitely will check that video out:)
@@frankmartire2174 So you’ve already booked? You said “we” so I know you have a hiking partner/partners…but would you still welcome other joiners? If so, message me details! (womaninthewoods13@gmail.com).
Love those beautiful eyes 🌹
Good adventure my friend👍👍👍
Thank you! 😁🙏🏼✌🏼
Great vid! Where did you get the bear bag?
It is an Ursack! Here’s the link:

Merci, Mister Thompson! 😁🙏🏼✌🏼
is it feasible to do this trail in one night 2 days
Easily!
That’s what I did!
