A little more outside.
A little less hurry.
Notes on Canada's trails, lakes and small everyday adventures. Pack light, take your time, and leave the place better than you found it.
Start with a short walk
You do not need an ambitious itinerary to enjoy a day outdoors. Choose a marked trail, check local conditions, and tell someone your route before leaving.
Bring water, layers, a charged phone and an offline map. Turn back early if weather changes. A familiar path can feel entirely new in a different season.
Keep a field notebook
Write down a place, a sound and one detail you would otherwise forget. The colour of a lake. A cedar after rain. The best stop for a warm drink on the way home.
