Spring Hiking and Tarp Camping Solo

This is a short but great spring hiking and tarp camping solo adventure in the Algonquin Highlands. I wanted to get out for a little spring hiking so I made my own trail along a wooded ridge and hiked to the highest point on a piece of Crown Land near my home. I decided to spend the night out there under a tarp, camping solo. Follow along for some beautiful wilderness scenery, fire cooked fajitas, and tarp camping in the rain. Plus I share some exciting news.

My guess is an Australian Shepherd or Border Collie

Really liked the intro to this latest video Alec. Pretty pro on the product review too.
Glad you got out in the bush in the 'in-between season'. Keep adventuring!

Hi Alec. Great overnighter. I’m thinking an Australian Shepherd or Border Collie. Looking forward to some puppy content, and Paige re-joining you.

I would get a Great Pyrenees though if I were you. Perfectly suited for your climate. Great protectors but also gentle giants. I had two for 13 years and will be getting another when I’m ready.

Great video . Looking forward to your new puppy. Have you picked a name.

Congtats on another great video. Also love shoulder season in the woods when leaves are down.

Awesome on the dog too! I'm going with a Husky. Can't argue with their winter ability.

Burmese or Newfoundlander are second guesses, great for winter/water but big for canoeing.

I see some people guessing Aussie.. We had one. Great dog with very high energy and dearly missed. Very smart and obedient. But winter trekking might not be it's forte although possible.

Good review. Light looks nice and practical.

I'm a little bias towards a Collie but I think a sledding dog to help pull some winter gear. Husky?

Dogs are wonderful companions. I am partial to smaller breeds as they are just easier to look after and easier on furniture. The food cost ($$$$) is also lower and it's just easier to poop and scoop for a small dog than a larger dog. The small breeds also are easier to carry in the canoe. Big dogs look so uncomfortable in a canoe. You might also consider factoring in the amount of food you are willing to carry on a trip for a dog when deciding on the size. Any breed with poodle in it that doesn't shed is fantastic. Schnauzers are great. I have had a Snoodle that we adopted from the SPCA that was the best friend ever. Consider adopting an abandoned pet.

Do you do anything on the ground to prevent rain water from flowing under you while tarp only camping?

Get a beagle. Small for travel in a canoe.
