The foundation to a good meal is quality ingredients.

A quick overnighter in the bush. Temp at 8 am this morning -25C.

Some fishing, but only one bite. Lots of water on the surface of the lake. 9 inches of ice.

Nice and cozy by the wood stove after a day on the lake

Headed to no man's land tomorrow with The Up North Fishing Guy a lovely collaboration where I outfit for an overnight camp and he finds that sweet spot on the ice.
Looking forward to having Jon, Shannon and Zach joining us!

Canvas tent and wood stove. I see a camping opportunity in the New Year!

Stay warm and cozy in this hot tent. Even when the fire dies down you'll be nice and warm in a sleeping bag rated for -30degrees.

While this picture is from a camping trip in August '23 this tent is purposely used for winter camping.

Contact me for more info.
Let's see what we can come up with!

(Here's a picture of a lake I fished on Dec 10th 2023)

Cranberry picking and trail marking yesterday morning.

Followed by an afternoon of paddleboarding with my dear friend Melissa Cyr thank you! ♥️♥️Thank you for the phone call. What a lovely paddleboard adventure in Lavigne!

Although it was nice to detach from my phone, Fitbit for a while I did miss taking a few pictures on the water.

Cranberries are in season.

A quick hike before sunset, 15-20min hike to the bog. 10 minutes of picking and back to the parking lot. Time was essential as the sun is setting early this time of year.

Add a few minutes if you get stuck in the mud along the way. LoL

(Soil compaction is a real issue. But that's a story for another day)

Thanks again Jonathan Rivard for the support!

Oh, and if you like the sweatshirt I've got lots in stock!
