It will. I am sure of it.

Hiking and camping season started for me today. Walked part of Skåneleden (Scania trail network, southern Sweden). Part of the trail along the creek in bad condition, had to climb over and under hallen trees and bushes. All while on loose footing with the creek below. Got to the campsite and got it all for myself. Nice!

As for firewood I would have had to notify the trail managers to have some ready for me. Counted on there being some already but no luck. So out into the woods and gather up deadwood.

Now darkness have fallen. It is half past eight. Time to burn!

I read this book recently, and as a father of two young children it really gave me the desire to get my kids outside and interact with their environment.

I would highly recommend this book if you have kids!

As the title says, one of my friends wants to go on a backpacking trip with me. Usually I like to be very spontaneous and sorta "rough it", which would definitely not be good for the guy. I planned out a nice flat-ish 30 km route for us where we can watch the sunrise and the sunset from an overlook. What are some things that I should do in order to make his first trip a little better?

Anybody been to this area near Algonquin in Ontario? I can't seem to find a digital map of canoe routes other than the booking one.

Edit: Turns out Jeff's Map (of Algonquin) actually has the whole area included!
