Our Longest Winter Camping Trip - 15 Days in Quetico Pt. 1

Check out our longest winter camping trip ever. We spend 15 days alone in the backcountry of Quetico Provincial Park. We travel by snowshoe pulling heavy toboggans making camp each night in our hot tent. Our woodstove keeps us cozy and we share our passion for winter with our malamute puppy Lucy.

In Part 1 we head west on Pickerel Lake and are greeted with mild winter weather. Lucy learns a thing or two about ice travel and we overcome new challenges.

Great video guys. Very enjoyable to watch. You 3 make winter camping look so easy. Looking forward to part 2 and some fish 🎣…..🤞

We love this so much. Trust that Lucy is ok after the brief swim! Thanks so much for sharing this journey :)

So awesome, a well planned trip, enjoyed

Looks like a great trip. I like your set up too.

Awe, Lucy’s all grown up, she’s adorable.

Awesome video! I definitely like your tent setup. Working with a young dog has its challenges, but it sounds like you both are up to the challenge. Lucy's fall through the ice would scare me, too. Especially since we have had some weird weather this year. One good reason to maybe carry ice picks. But also it's good that 2 of you travel together as well as Lucy. Thanks for sharing your adventure! I'm looking forward to your next posting!

Awesome! Looks like a great winter camping trip in some decent weather.

That would've been a scary situation, glad Lucy is ok. All that dog food really starts to add up on your long trips, I started to portion my dog's food by the day instead of big bags after finding out on day 14 that my scoops were not so accurate. Looking forward to part 2!

Great video! Did Lucy lose a booty when she fell though the ice? I love the wood crib built around the stove....great idea to keep melt to minimum! Cheers!

Man I give you guys credit for moving camp every day in winter conditions. Lucy has grown into the perfect companion, she is beautiful. Looking forward to Part 2?

Wow that shot at the end was beautiful. Also you have great taste in gloves, their guide gloves are amazing too I use them for winter biking.

Great trip and long too. Wish there were some fish .

Another 2 week winter trip? We are very fortunate that you brought us along again.
Lucy will be a pro by the time this trip is over lol

[ianmacrae]

No doubt who's more rugged. Lisa and I drive 22 hours south to escape the cold and you and Paige drive 22 hours northwest to seek out the cold! p.s. how the heck do otters punch through 12 inch thick ice?
Keep adventuring (with Lucy)!
