One 40+ year old mom + One 11 year old Henry = AdventureThis was never a planned thing. We live on a farm, Henry went to the local school. Life was normal. And then the pandemic hit.We switched to homeschooling, but that can be a lonely thing for a, then, 7 year old. So we began hiking the Bruce Trail which was, quite literally, in our backyard. Along the trails Henry met fellow kids and adults with a passion for the natural world around us. Soon we would lead groups of kids on adventures and the local papers would follow our pursuits.  Whether with friends in tow, or just his mom along, Henry enjoys exploring and wants to share his passion with everyone!Henry's YouTube ChannelHenry's Website

#394: Cody Taylor 3 -- The Bruce Trail Unsupported FKT, 900Kms Through Ontario by Chris Ward

In this episode, we're thrilled to feature Ontario's own Chantal Demers, whom we have fondly declared as the "Queen of FKTs".  Chantal has held an astonishing 37 Fastest Known Times (FKTs) since 2015 and recently captured the Oak Ridge's 271 kilometre self-supported FKT in an impressive three days, seven hours, and 21 minutes. Chantal shares her journey from basketball and triathlons to her transition to trail running which included a remarkable recovery from a traumatic spinal cord injury in 2005. We also dive into her creative strategy and success of breaking up Ontario's Bruce Trail into 9 individual FKTs and her future plans to tackle new trails, both in the U.S. and potentially across the pond in Europe.   Don't miss this inspiring conversation with a true trailblazer!

Today, not only are we talking about Canada's longest and oldest continuous hiking trail, which stretches for 900 km from Niagara Falls north to Georgian Bay, but I'm also joined by Zwena Gray, the first modern Black woman to thru-hike the trail. I say modern, because the trail has extensive Black history, and at least partially follows the route Black abolitionists and freedom seekers took north through Ontario after they entered Canada from the U.S. via the Underground Railroad.  One border crossing that was often used as part of the Underground Railroad is close to home for Zwena: Detroit. Zwena studies environmental sciences in Ontario now, but she grew up in Detroit, Michigan.  The more she learned about the legacy of Black history in southwestern Ontario, the more she wanted to learn and share with others. She came up with a plan for achieving this goal and called it the Black on the Bruce. In the name of Black on the Bruce, she hiked the entire trail over May and June this year with her friend Sima. On episode 24, Zwena talks about the technical aspects of her hike, what she learned about Black history and Black joy on the trail, her favourite sections, favourite meals and so much more. To learn even more about Zwena and Black on the Bruce, follow her instagram @just.zee

Victoria lives and paints in Hamilton's James North art district and cottages on the edge of Algonquin Park and enjoys hiking and paddling the natural spaces of Ontario's north, be it Muskoka, Algonquin, Haliburton, Kawartha, Madawaska or the length of Bruce Trail. The contrast of sky to rocky cliffs, grand pines and idyllic islands make for great inspiration. Her labyrinth style finds much inspiration in the exposed rock of the Canadian Shield, the grand White Pines and wide open skies. Come join her on land or on water.Victoria is a professional artist who works from her studio in the Hamilton's James North art district. Over the last 20 years she has painted oversized, ants eye view florals combined with abstractions and surreal nests floating in the sky. She is currently focused on the Ontario Landscape in all its vast diversity.As an artist and avid hiker, observing and recording as she hikes or paddles along is an important part of her process. Victoria is an enthusiastic Bruce Trail Conservancy member and cottager on the edge of Algonquin Park. The province boasts so many waterfalls and grand pine forests, silhouetted islands, craggy cliffs and voluminous skies that there will never be time to experience them all, but she tries. Within them she finds the shapes, lines, colours, patterns and forms she so loves.  To play with the interplay of one colour pushing against another or shapes as parts of an overall interconnecting composition is a challenge and a joy. To see the constant movement of all things natural is sometimes easy, as in a waterfall, but more challenging in a wall of granite. She says it's the geography geek in her that is excited by a ridge of Dolostone or Granite, or the rush of a water cascade, all products of the time glaciers covered the land. Expressing that friction and interconnectedness is what she strives to do. Victoria's labyrinth style of landscape is a unique one. It evokes a myriad of associations from ancient writings to tile or knitted patterns, even mathematical principles to some. On today's episode Victoria talks about her labyrinth style paintings and how her love of hiking the Bruce trail and nature inform her studio practice. Interested in seeing some of Victoria's work.

A life jacket is a life saving device! We will say it again…a life jacket is a life saving device! But, do you know what to look for when purchasing a life jacket? Do you know how to check if it fits your child correctly? Rukmini Halliwell is here to teach you everything you need to know!    You'll find Rukmini Halliwell on any given weekend hiking along the Bruce Trail with her toddler, dog and husband in tow, hunting for mushrooms and sharing her biodiversity knowledge on the ‘gram. With a deep connection to her heritage and a passion to be on trail, she is also advocating for diversity and inclusion in the outdoors. After having her first child, Ruk began focusing on how to break cultural barriers that prevent BIPOC from entering outdoor spaces. Ruk is our Inclusion Manager at Kids Who Explore and we love having her on our team.     Ruk was a competitive swimmer for the majority of her life. She trained as a lifeguard, and practiced as a lifeguard, which got her passionate about the topic of water safety!!  Difference Between Life Jacket and Personal Floatation Device:  A life jacket is a piece of safety equipment. A safety regulation life jacket has very specific check boxes to be “coast-guard approved”  Personal floatation devices (PFD) can be any floatation outside of your body. Lots of items can be listed under PFD  There are different regulations for what you can call a life jacket or PFD in Canada versus States, and possibly other places  Please refer back to Episode 57 for Water Safety Tips too!  https://kidswhoexplore.com/podcasts/ep-57-water-safety-with-kaylee-kennedy/  Water Safety Tips:  Life jackets are meant to be life saving devices, but they are not meant to be a replacement of parental supervision, or to teach people to swim  Do not lose sight of your child (or anyone you're attending to)  Open water requires a life jacket! [Model appropriate behaviour for your children by wearing a life jacket yourself]  What to Look for in a Life Jacket:  Colour: Red or orange (needs to show up bright in the water) *Tip to correct ones that are bad colours/not visible in the water…use fluorescent duct tape*  Crotch Strap: Needs to be done up, so the life jacket doesn't float up over the child in the water  Fit: Multiple buckles, and proper size/fit  Material: Made out of foam (still works if there is a little rip or tear)  Head Rest: Flips them onto their back, so it keeps their airway open   Neck Pull: Allows you to grab them in the water and rescue them  NOT Inflatable: Do not use an inflatable life jacket! It's not reliable  Think of a life jacket as a yearly investment! Buy the red one that fits at that exact time!!  Recommendations: Smart Wool Base Layers: https://www.smartwool.com  Oh Crap Potty Training Book: On the Podcast - https://kidswhoexplore.com/podcasts/ep-46-potty-training-in-the-outdoors-with-jamie-glowacki/  Follow Ruk on IG: @rukminihalliwell    Thank you to Elements Outfitters for supporting today's episode!

In Shanghai people are venting their anger against the government in audio recordings that have gone viral. The so called Voices of April recordings speak of food shortages and government bungling...as residents there continue a strict lockdown that has gone on for weeks. An unusually high number of bees died in Ontario over the winter. Now, beekeepers are trying to figure out why -- and what it means for business and the environment. A discovery about the history of the Bruce Trail launched one Trent student onto an adventure. She's challenging herself to hike the entirety of the modern-day trail, focusing on its roots to the Underground Railroad. Countries like Portugal, the Netherlands and Australia have done it, and Canada could be next. A petition to decriminalize personal drug use has been put to the House of Commons. Kingston's drug strategy committee is throwing their weight behind the cause. Elon Musk has purchased Twitter. Takara Small broke down what it means for the company, and its users.

The Bruce Trail is Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath, spanning 900K through Ontario. Over the years, it has attracted some of the most enthusiastic trail runners to attempt Fastest Known Times, or FKT's. Last September we spoke with John Pockler after his new FKT. The record was then broken in July of this year by Kip Arlidge, who came closer than anyone before to breaking the 9 hour barrier. And last week, Karen Holland became the first person to achieve that feat, completing the course in 8 days, 22hrs and 51 minutes. I sat down with Karen to talk about her adventures on the Bruce, being a women in the world of trail running, and the value of chasing big dreams. Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

Kendra Slagter grew up with Canada's longest and oldest waymarked trail on her doorstep: The Bruce. But it lost its lustre as she began to experience the wider world. When her goal to hike the PCT was squashed by COVID, Kendra found herself jobless, plan-less, and stuck. Meanwhile, her dad also faced unexpected downtime as the pandemic impacted his business. That's when an inspired idea hit her: what if they hiked The Bruce? All 944 km? This podcast is obsessed with Kendra's journey: father/daughter bonding, pushing through epic discomfort and realizing we aren't meant to be stuck in one societal pattern our whole lives. We can find our own rhythm, and that's exactly what Kendra did.   

Growing up in Germany, John Harrison Pockler’s introduction to running occurred at the age of 18 when his dad received an entry to the Berlin Marathon. John would end up participating in the race, finishing 13th in his age group! The experience made John realize how much he enjoyed running and running long and far was what gave him the greatest satisfaction. John would eventually make the switch from road to trail running where he competed as an ultramarathoner. His running resume includes the Ultra-Trail Cape Town 125 km and placing 1st at the Schinder-Trail Grauer Kopf 125 km. 5 years ago, John moved to Canada for work and set his sights on several great Canadian races including the Canadian Death Race 125 km in Alberta and the North Face Endurance Challenge - Ontario - 50K and Niagara Ultra 50 km in Ontario. John set his sights on a big goal for 2020 and with races being canceled, he decided he wanted to create his own race. John heard about the Bruce Trail from friends in the trail running community, so after consulting Christian Flugel, a friend from Germany, the decision was made to attempt the Fastest Known Time running the 890-km Bruce Trail from end to end. We’ll discuss everything from start to finish, including the approach he took to select a crew to support him, some of the challenges he faced, and why he chose to fundraise for The Bruce Trail Conservancy! We hope you’re as inspired as we were chatting with John!

One month ago, John Pockler set out to achieve a Fastest Known Time, or FKT, on Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath, The Bruce Trail. The previous record for the nearly 900km route was set in 2017 by Adam Burnett in 9 days, 21 hours, and 14 minutes. Accompanied by a relatively unseasoned crew, and with no prior experience with multi-day races, John was bolstered by a lifetime of athleticism and sheer determination. I spoke with John following his expedition to hear how he fared, and about his adventures along the way.Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

Sonya is a 42 year old Canadian who is currently hiking across Canada on the longest multi-use recreational trail in the world with her partner Sean.  The 24,000 km long Great Trail stretches from Cape Spear, Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia, and from Edmonton, Alberta to Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories.  They began their journey in Cape Spear, Newfoundland on 1 June 2019 and hiked just over 3,000 km to Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec before the winter arrived.  They will head back to the trail in spring, and estimate they will complete their journey in fall of 2022. Sonya's love of hiking, camping, and the outdoors began as child during multiple school trips into the wilderness.  She built on these experiences in university, where she studied Conservation Biology and Forestry, and spent as much time as possible outside, doing field research on forest songbirds.  Her love of long-distance hiking began with Ontario's 900 km long Bruce Trail, and grew when she hiked the 800 km Camino Frances in Spain with Sean in 2016.  Together Sonya and Sean hiked across France on the Via Podiensis (GR 65) in 2017, and along Newfoundland's East Coast Trail in 2018.  After that they decided to make hiking a more central part of their lives, and after selling the house, donating most of their possessions, and leaving behind Sonya's desk job, they did a warm-up hike along the Camino Portuguese in early 2019 and then began their adventure on the Great Trail. As they hike, their goal is to share positive images and stories of their travels across Canada to showcase the amazing and diverse people, places, history, and landscapes that make up this country.  By sharing their passion for birds, hiking, and nature in person, on their blog, and through social media they hope to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds, but especially youth, to get outside, explore, and connect to nature through birding and Citizen Science.

The Big Branch Festival is a three day “Balfolk” festival/camp hosted by Balfolk Toronto taking place September 7-9, at Unicamp Ontario, in Honeywood near Shelburne ON (along the Bruce Trail). “Balfolk” is a modern revival of traditional, predominately Western European, social folk dances. Dances range from simple partner dances like the waltz, mazurka and schottishe, to hypnotic chain dances like the andro, gavotte, and ride from Bretagne as well as energetic mixer dances. Balfolk dances are simple and easy to learn, and leave lots of room for improvisation. The intent of a Balfolk session is simple – relax and lean into the music and see where it takes you! The Big Branch Festival will feature dance and music workshops, with performers from France (Laüsa, Duo Rivaud Lacouchie, Duo Le Bour Bodros), Italy/Canada (Filippo Gampetta & Emilyn Stam) and dance instructor Louise Marius from the Netherlands. We caught up with one of the organizers, fiddler Emilyn Stam, to learn more about Balfolk Toronto and The Big Branch Festival. For more information about The Big Branch Festival visit http://thebigbranchfestival.com. Music: Laüsa “Nau Gojatas” from Laüsa (2018, Tradethik) and Duo Rivaud Lacouchie “Ordich Janeta / Scottish d’Eugene Tarrade” from “Ordich!” (2016, AEPEM).

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-392 – Rhonda Marie Runs Tennessee (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4392.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-392.  This is Chris your host.  Well, it's been a couple weeks since we talked and a couple weeks since I finished the Burning River 100.  I'm back to full strength as near as I can tell.  I seem to have recovered very well and very quickly, probably because I hiked so much of the last half.  Today we speak with Rhonda-Marie who a blind ultra-runner who did something amazing this summer.  She ran the Last Vol State Run across Tennessee which is a 500KM or 314 mile race.  But she did it unguided.  You are going to love this interview.  My audio editor Dimitri even commented on how this one was super interesting. In section one I'll do some Q&Q on the Burning River race, a bit of a wrap up, if you will.  In section two I'm going to talk about kindness.  Because we all need more kindness in our lives.  My recovery is going very well.  I've started training again and have some races lined up that we'll chat about later.  The first week after the race I did mostly stretching and a couple bike rides.  The second week I started running again.  Two weeks from stumbling across the finish line in Ohio I went up with some friends and ran the Wapack trail course one-way with them.  We had a blast and I felt great.  Very strong.  What you look for when doing recovery runs after an ultra is unique.  When you go out it's not that your legs feel tired. Just the opposite.  When you first start the runs your legs feel great.  Unique to post-ultra recovery runs is that somewhere in that run your legs can go like throwing a switch.  It is all the more telling because you feel great up to that point, then your legs just disappear.   That hasn't happened since I started back in.  So I think I'm good.  If you listen to any interview or story of ultra runners, when they are asked what they learned, invariably the answer is that we are stronger than we think.  Our bodies are designed for this stuff.  All we have to do is train for it and ask our bodies.  Then we have to decide to do it.  Whether it's getting up off the couch for your first run, or stepping off the cliff edge into the yawning dark unknow of 100 miles, or 300 miles, you can do it if you decide to.  That's it.  That's what separates the finishers from those that don't start, the belief that you can do it.  You can do it.  Just decide to do it and it is as good as done.  That's the hard part.  The decision.  What hard thing are you going to decide to do today? On with the show! … I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

Traditionally Rhonda-Marie runs accompanied by guides; runners who call out obstacles along the way. With these guides she's run races from Marathon distances to 100 mile distances. She has also completed several end-to-end runs of various Ontario trails including The Bruce Trail (885 km), The Avon Trail (110 km) and The Thames Valley Trail (112 km). Rhonda-Marie has also ventured to the infamous Barkley Marathons. Rhonda-Marie continues to work in her community to encourage and create space for inclusive sport. Accessing the Inaccessible In July of 2018, Rhonda-Marie Parke will attempt to run The Last Annual Vol State race without the aid of guide runners. Why Will Rhonda-Marie Proceed Unguided? "My whole life, I have had to follow - even if the direction has been my choosing." - Rhonda-Marie Parke Disability is diverse, dynamic, and ever changing. There is no such thing as universally accessible, especially in a 314 mile road race where cars are moving pieces, where animals are out and roaming, where fatigue, injury are all very very real; but then again, so is crossing the road to get to the library. Rhonda-Marie continues to show other-abled athletes that they can get involved in the sports of their choice. Rhonda-Marie also continues to encourage running events to think about how to make their events accessible to athletes of ALL abilities. Inclusion in sport is not a given, it's a process of adaptation and evolution of parameters. Ongoing conversation and community building is required. What Is The Last Obstacle? In addition Rhonda-Marie looks to bring light to a bigger issue facing those with disability - stigma. She continues to face intolerance when it comes to her participation in sport as some believe that there is no place for a blind athlete in such a dangerous event. Rhonda-Marie is confident in her athletic abilities and that through training and careful planning, there is no reason why she won't have the same chance at success as any other runner. Help us show that if they have the desire and the drive, other-abled athletes have every right to participate in sport. Please help us send Rhonda-Marie to The Last Annual Vol State. With your help, she will strive to overcome the Last Obstacle.   Section two – Into the Unknown - http://runrunlive.com/burning-river-100-into-the-unknown Outro OK my friends, you have stumbled along a highway shoulder to the end of episode 4-391.  Be careful out there. Rhonda Marie is amazing, right?  I felt seriously out of my depth with her.  I think I'm going to try to see if I can't guide a runner for Boston next year.  I am training again.  I signed up for a few races.  I'm going to run the Wapack Trail race on Labor Day weekend.  It's my club's race.  I'll go up early, help set up, park cars and then run the race.  I'm looking forward to it.  I should have good juice in my legs from all the miles I did this summer. Then I agreed to run a Ragnar the weekend of September 21st with my coach up in New York.  Treat myself to a little adventure! And finally, I signed up for the BayState Marathon again.  It's my go-to marathon for requalifying.  I'll take a shot at getting my number for 2020.  My buddy Brian is running it too.  We'll see if I can get enough speed back by the end of October. After the successful outing on the Wapack Trail I told coach I was ready to get back to work.  He gave me a couple workouts for this week, as if to test me.  I did a 1:40 step up run Tuesday.  I went into the run feeling dead and didn't have much hope for being able to step up to zone 3 effort for 30 minutes then up to zone 4-5 for an additional 30.  That's a hard workout.  I felt heavy but figured I'd just do what I could and see how long I could keep my legs turning.  As I stepped up the effort my legs were surprisingly strong.  I was able to hold a decent effort level for the last hour of the step up.  Looking at the results, I wasn't moving super fast but I'm happy with the effort 2 weeks out from the hundred.  Then Friday night I went down to my local track and knocked out some speed work.  I did a ladder of 2X600, 2X800 and 2X1000 and was able to hang in there.  The mechanics felt quite foreign.  I was leaning back too much and was swinging my arms around.  My butt muscles were sore afterwards.  It's going to take awhile to get some speed back, but I think I'll be fine.  … … I had a one day trip to Orlando this week.  It's a bout a 3-hour flight.  I got up early and flew down, we had meetings and lunch and flew back.  That put me out of the airport in Boston around 7:30 and getting after 8:00.  I was wiped so I figured I'd order a pizza to pick up as I whizzed by on my way out to the suburbs.  So, I called up Siri and asked her to call the pizza place for me.  I was in my truck on the highway and didn't want to be too distracted by the phone.  I got the guy on the phone and had the following conversation… Me: “I'd like to order a Mushroom Pepperoni Pizza.” Him: “Sure, name?” Me: “Last or First?” Him: “OK 15 minutes.” And he hung up. When I got to the pizza place I thought I'd ordered from I found out that Siri and I had different ideas on that.  She gave me the number of another pizza place.  It was late.  I was almost home.  I thought about just bailing out on the whole thing, but I knew, across town. 4 .4 miles away, a pizza place had made a pizza for me.  So I bit the bullet and drove over there.  Good karma.  When I got to the other pizza place, I went in, apologized for being late and asked if there wasn't a mushroom Pepperoni pizza here waiting for me.  He said, “What's the name?” I said, “I don't know.  You asked me for my name, I said ‘last or first', you said '15 minutes' and hung up.” He didn't have a Mushroom Pepperoni.  But, he did have a Sausage Pepperoni, for ‘Lester'.  We agreed that was probably it.  He felt bad about making the wrong pizza and gave me a discount.  I didn't tell him I never meant to order a pizza from him to begin with and was just barely able to drag p the will power to not stiff him.  And the karma balances out.  Even when ordering a pizza.  I'll see you out there.

MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

The Bruce Trail is the oldest and longest marked trail in Canada. At 885K it follows the Niagara Escarpment from Tobermory to the Niagara River. Many people have attempted to run the entire trail, which with its challenging terrain provides a test for even the most seasoned runners. But in August of 2014, one runner started out on the Bruce Trail's northern end in Tobermory, Ontario to do something that no one had ever attempted before: to become the first athlete with a disability to complete the end-to-end journey across the trail. On this week's episode of The Shakeout, we bring you the story of Rhonda-Marie Parke, an athlete with only 8% vision, who set out to run the Bruce Trail in 20 days. It is an incredible story of adversity, perseverance, and advocacy.

This week, I (Michael) present my favorite music from 2015: songs from my favorite albums (see below), singles, and EPs including tunes from Maribou State, Bruce Trail, Thundercat, Wild Ones and Voices from the Lake. There was a ton of great music released this year and I am especially proud of the mixes we added […]

This episode is largely comprised of shiny and solid sounds. In the first half, tracks from Kuba, the Future Sound of London, the Advisory Circle, Moon B and STL are featured. The beat moves on in the second half with music from Shinichi Atobe, Bruce Trail, Plaid, and Jeff Mills. Find your headspace and tune in. […]

A double trek today, starting out at a segment of the Bruce Trail out near Georgetown, following the lovely Credit River, then later a peaceful and introspective chat from Terra Cotta conservation area. Thanks to Ken for being my muse this week, you are an inspiration for those of us stuttering idiots who can’t say anything real. Big love and thanks to Mom and Dad for joining me on my hike and letting me record their every word, and again, Happy Mother’s day all of the various mommas out there, and especially to my dear mom, Patty. You are truly you. Music this week was “Frightened” by Easter Island, downloaded from One Track Mind.
