Send us a textThe line between thriving wilderness and dangerous bear encounters often comes down to one simple thing: how we store our food in the backcountry. Grant Breidenbach from Bear Vault joins us to reveal fascinating insights about bear behavior and the science behind effective food protection strategies.Bears possess what scientists call "spatio-temporal memory" – they remember both where and when they found food sources. This remarkable adaptation serves them perfectly in natural settings but creates serious problems when they discover human food. With noses containing four times the scent receptors of a bloodhound and surprising intelligence, bears quickly learn that our calorie-dense snacks offer more reward for less effort than foraging naturally. As Grant explains, "Human food, not even once" should be our mantra when it comes to bears.We explore how traditional food-hanging methods have become increasingly ineffective as bears learn to defeat them – chewing through ropes, breaking branches, or even shimmying across lines to access suspended food bags. The Bear Vault's ingenious design, with its slippery sides and carefully engineered dimensions, creates a physical barrier bears simply cannot defeat. After trying and receiving no food reward, bears quickly return to their natural diet.Most powerfully, Grant shifts our perspective from self-protection to ecosystem preservation: "There's no such thing as a problem bear – there are problem people." When we fail to properly store food, we set bears up for dangerous behavior that often leads to their euthanization. One Colorado case study showed a 98% reduction in human-bear conflicts within five years after implementing canister requirements and education.Whether you're planning your first wilderness adventure or are a seasoned backcountry traveler, this conversation will transform how you think about food storage and bear protection. Join us in understanding that when we enter the wilderness, we're guests in the bear's home – and protecting them is our responsibility.Subscribe now for more insightful conversations about adventure, conservation, and responsible outdoor recreation!www.bearvault.comhttps://www.facebook.com/bearvaultcanistershttps://www.instagram.com/bearvault/Support the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

Send us a textStanding at the edge of a thundering cascade, feeling the cool mist on your face as water tumbles over ancient Canadian Shield rock—there's something viscerally satisfying about experiencing a waterfall that enhances any camping adventure. We've assembled our ultimate guide to Ontario's most spectacular waterfalls, all conveniently located within the provincial park system.From the dramatic 40-meter drop of Kakabika Falls (deservedly nicknamed "Niagara of the North") near Thunder Bay to the intimate and family-friendly Stubbs Falls at Arrowhead Provincial Park, each waterfall offers a unique experience. We share our firsthand experiences at locations like Stubbs Falls, where the bubbling pool at the base creates a natural "hot tub" effect before you stretch out on sun-warmed granite rocks. However, we also discuss important safety considerations after witnessing a frightening slip that fortunately ended without serious injury.For those willing to venture further into Ontario's wilderness, we explore options ranging from the moderate three-kilometer hike to High Falls in Algonquin (perfect for swimming and sunbathing) to the much more challenging multi-day trek required to reach the remote Hendrie River Waterfalls in Lake Superior Provincial Park. We've included practical advice about the best seasons to visit (spring for water volume, fall for colors), accessibility considerations, what to pack, and the importance of proper footwear on potentially slippery trails. Whether you're planning a dedicated waterfall adventure or simply looking to enhance an existing camping trip, these seven spectacular destinations offer something for every outdoor enthusiast.Connect with us on social media or email us at hi@supergoodcamping.com with questions or to share your own waterfall experiences. We're taking a brief summer hiatus after our next three episodes to focus on our own camping adventures, but we'll be back in the fall with more outdoor inspiration!Support the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

Send us a textFrom concrete jungle to wilderness champion, Joe Robinet's story captivates with its raw honesty and powerful transformation. Our guest shares how a childhood fascination with nature shows like "Grizzly Adams" planted seeds that would eventually grow into a fulfilling career as a bushcraft expert and content creator.Joe's path wasn't straightforward – learning bushcraft skills in a small patch of land between two factories in Windsor before eventually finding his way to northern wilderness. His YouTube journey began organically, uploading videos to prove his skills to an online forum community, never imagining it would become his livelihood. With refreshing candor, Joe dispels the myth that his appearance on History Channel's "Alone" launched his career – in fact, it temporarily derailed it when viewers reacted negatively to him losing his fire.The conversation takes a profound turn as Joe recounts his life-altering dirt bike accident that resulted in a three-week coma and devastating nerve damage to his hand. Doctors prepared his family for the worst, yet Joe defied expectations in his recovery. The emotional weight of this experience permeates his reflections on mortality, family responsibility, and small joys like regaining the ability to peel a banana. "I never thought about how awesome it is that you can use your hands," he shares. "This is what separates us from the animals."Now embracing life's second chance, Joe discusses his passion for canoe tripping, camping with his wilderness-loving dog, and his mission to teach his daughters self-reliance through annual wilderness trips. Looking ahead, he's planning ambitious adventures including a documentary about his comeback journey and potentially a 50-day solo canoe expedition. Through triumph and trauma, Joe's story reminds us that passion, perseverance, and perspective can transform even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth.Want to experience the wilderness through Joe's eyes?

Send us a textRob Spence, known to many as "Rob in the Outside," shares his profound journey of finding salvation through nature after hitting rock bottom. Following his mother's passing and a difficult divorce, Rob discovered that kayaking, fishing, and wilderness exploration quite literally saved his life – transforming his darkest moments into a passionate outdoor lifestyle that now defines him.The conversation takes us through Rob's evolution as an outdoorsman, from his early days spending dawn to dusk on the water fishing for bass and pike, to his more recent obsession with fly fishing. "Until you get into it and get into a river and hook a big one and fight – it's hard to explain where the passion comes from," Rob explains, his enthusiasm palpable as he describes the thrill of battling brook trout on a fly rod.We explore Rob's deeply thoughtful approach to hunting, which stems from a desire for self-sufficiency and ethically-sourced food. Unlike trophy hunting, Rob ensures every part of his harvested animals serves a purpose – from feeding his family and his dog Kiva to using hides for crafting and fly-tying materials. He candidly shares his three-year journey of learning deer behavior before successfully harvesting his first one, showing the depth of respect and knowledge that guides his practice.Perhaps most compelling is Rob's raw honesty about the psychological impact of wilderness immersion. He describes the almost depressive state he experiences when returning from extended backcountry trips – a testament to nature's profound effect on his wellbeing. "I love coming back to my family, to the dog, everything else. I hate coming back to everything that's outside of this house," he admits, capturing the sentiment many wilderness enthusiasts feel but rarely articulate.Whether you're an experienced outdoorsperson or someone curious about the healing potential of nature, Rob's story offers both practical knowledge and emotional insight into how the wilderness can transform lives.

Send us a textEver wondered what makes wildlife photography truly ethical? Jesse Villemaire takes us deep into the heart of this question, revealing how respecting wildlife comes before capturing the perfect shot. As co-founder of Follow Me North with his wife Susan, Jesse shares captivating stories from Algonquin Park's wilderness and South African safaris while unveiling the philosophy that guides their intimate photography workshops."The wildlife comes first, the photo comes next," Jesse emphasizes, explaining how maintaining proper distance and understanding animal behavior creates not just better photographs, but more meaningful encounters. Through heartfelt examples—including a devastating story about a habituated wolf—he illustrates why "baiting" wildlife causes harm that far outweighs any photographic benefit.Jesse's personal journey from tattoo studio owner in Cambridge to wildlife photographer in Muskoka reveals how nature became his essential reset button. The story of meeting his wife through Instagram's Algonquin Park hashtag (culminating in their wedding on an island in Lake of Two Rivers) demonstrates how shared passion for wilderness can forge life's most meaningful connections. Their volunteer work with Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary further showcases their commitment to conservation beyond the lens.From their viral "Santa in a Red Canoe" series to their humorous "Sorry Algonquin" Instagram project pairing stunning images with one-star park reviews, Jesse's creative approach invites others into nature's beauty with both reverence and playfulness. His South African photo tours—where participants might find themselves surrounded by 21 lions—offer transformative experiences that "change you" on a fundamental level.Ready to experience wildlife photography through a more mindful lens?

Send us a textJeff McMurtrie returns to our podcast with exciting news about his meticulously crafted wilderness maps that have transformed how paddlers experience Ontario's backcountry. Having spent over 700 days exploring these waterways, Jeff brings unparalleled expertise to his cartography – revealing hidden gems that most travelers miss and preventing potentially frustrating navigational errors.The newest additions to his collection include updated Killarney and French River maps with 50% more detail, innovative portage elevation profiles, and an extensive catalog of points of interest. Perhaps most exciting is the announcement of a refreshed Temagami map coming this summer and a new East French River map that completes the coverage from Georgian Bay to Lake Nipissing when combined with his other maps.What makes these maps special goes beyond their accuracy. Jeff's thoughtful design elements – like showing creek width proportional to reality and using distinctive "penciled in" styling for extremely challenging routes – reflect his deep understanding of what paddlers actually need on the water. The maps document everything from waterfalls and swimming holes to historic sites and spring water sources, creating what Jeff calls "that extra dimension" that transforms a good trip into an unforgettable one.Each physical map purchase includes digital versions in five different formats (high-resolution JPEG, Avenza Maps with GPS functionality, Garmin GPS, Google Earth 3D, and GeoTIFF), ensuring paddlers can use them however best suits their style. Jeff shares that user feedback has been invaluable in refining these resources – from identifying changed conditions to suggesting new features that improve usability.Whether you're planning your first backcountry trip or your fiftieth, these maps provide both essential navigation tools and unexpected discoveries.

Send us a textKevin Callan, the Happy Camper, returns to share the remarkable journey of publishing his 20th book – a children's story called "A Spark of Courage." After multiple rejections from major publishers who couldn't see the market for a book about nature helping anxiety in youth, Kevin took matters into his own hands with passionate determination.The book follows Paul, an anxious pre-teen reluctant to embark on a canoe trip with his Uncle Roy. Through beautifully illustrated pages created by Cliff McArdle, we witness Paul's transformation from a nervous, screen-dependent kid to someone who embraces wilderness experiences. What makes the story unique is how woodland creatures secretly guide and teach both Paul and his uncle throughout their adventure.Kevin's decision to self-publish reveals the changing landscape of publishing and the obstacles authors face when trying to share meaningful messages. From navigating print-on-demand services to dealing with third-party sellers attempting to list his unreleased book at inflated prices, the journey demonstrates how passion can overcome traditional gatekeepers. Though self-publishing means taking on all marketing and distribution responsibilities, it provides significantly higher royalties and creative control.Throughout our conversation, Kevin shares insights from his decades teaching youth in outdoor settings: "We just have to take them in the woods for a long period of time and they become who they are. It's magical." This firsthand experience of nature's transformative power drives his mission to reach young readers struggling with anxiety in our increasingly digital world.Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's mental health, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone curious about publishing alternatives, this episode offers wisdom, humor, and inspiration. Grab a copy of "A Spark of Courage" at Canadian Outdoor Equipment or your favorite retailer, and follow Kevin's upcoming adventures as he balances book tours with his beloved wilderness trips.https://kevincallan.com/https://www.instagram.com/kchappycamper/https://www.facebook.com/thehappycamper/https://www.youtube.com/user/KCHappyCamperSupport the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

Send us a textCurtis LaFleche's life changed dramatically at age 16 when he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis – a condition that causes spinal fusion and threatened his athletic pursuits. Rather than surrendering to limitations, this diagnosis sparked an unexpected journey into the wilderness that transformed his life."I just started walking down the ski trails," Curtis recalls, "and then I fell in love with hiking... seeing birds for the first time I didn't know existed and these plants." What began as rehabilitation became a profound connection with nature that would shape his future career in forestry and conservation, where he made conscious decisions to protect wildlife habitats and riparian zones while managing logging operations.Now 46, Curtis embraces outdoor adventures with a wisdom born from decades managing chronic pain. His upcoming 15-day solo canoe expedition through Ontario's Temagami region represents both a physical challenge and a deeply meaningful journey. Beginning on Gamble Lake, where he planted trees 25 years ago, and ending at Emerald Lake, where his partner's family has scattered ashes of loved ones, the 160-kilometer route creates a perfect circle in his life story.Curtis shares his meticulous planning process – from creating detailed spreadsheets tracking gear weight to dehydrating trail meals and calculating necessary daily calories. His "nothing but time" philosophy prioritizes enjoyment and safety over covering distance. "If I have to triple carry, I don't care," he explains. "I'm going to pull out my camera and watch birds and take three carries and spend two hours on the trail."Beyond his personal adventures, Curtis finds joy in introducing his teenage daughters to the backcountry, carefully balancing challenge with comfort. "I think someday they're going to find solace in the forest," he reflects, recognizing how his own wilderness connection began during life's challenges.Ready to embark on your own wilderness journey?

Send us a textTyler Chilabecki's love affair with the Saskatchewan wilderness began with a fishing rod in his hand at just three years old. Now, as the creator behind the YouTube channel Puddle Jumper, he's on a mission to shatter stereotypes about his home province one paddle stroke at a time."Everyone thinks of Saskatchewan as flat prairies and wheat," Tyler explains with the weariness of someone who's heard it once too often. "But half our province is boreal forest and Canadian Shield." This northern wilderness forms the backdrop for his solo paddling adventures, which range from weekend trips to epic three-week journeys through some of Canada's most untouched waterways.What makes Saskatchewan's backcountry uniquely appealing is the profound solitude it offers. While popular parks like Algonquin might have portage trails "like superhighways" with paddlers carrying coolers and boxes of wine, Tyler describes paddling for 12 days in Northern Saskatchewan without seeing another soul. Even in the province's "busier" paddling areas around Missinipi on the Churchill River, traffic is minimal compared to other Canadian paddling destinations.The geological diversity adds another layer of fascination. In the "Pelican Window" area, paddlers can find three-billion-year-old Precambrian rock formations that create dramatic landscapes unlike anything you'd expect from Saskatchewan. Tyler's eyes light up describing the Athabasca Sand Dunes, Hunt Falls (the province's largest waterfall), and ancient pictographs along historic voyageur routes that connect the province's vast network of lakes and rivers.For those inspired to explore Saskatchewan's hidden waterways, Tyler recommends connecting with local outfitters and using resources like GoTrekker maps. Many routes remain undocumented, requiring paddlers to study satellite imagery and topographic maps – adding an element of genuine exploration to each trip. As Tyler puts it: "There's so much to explore here and so much that's undocumented. That's where I keep my focus – trying to document these different routes that no one really knows about."Ready for a paddling adventure that defies expectations? Follow Tyler's journeys on the Puddle Jumper YouTube channel and discover the Saskatchewan that tourists never see.https://www.youtube.com/@puddlejumper-skSupport the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show
