Seasonal Camping Adventures In Ontario Provincial Parks

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/10/05

Send us Fan Mail You can plan a better camping trip in five minutes with one simple habit: check the park’s events calendar before you pick your dates. We dig into the seasonal programs happening across Ontario Provincial Parks and why they can turn a basic overnight into a weekend you’ll actually remember, whether that’s Thanksgiving, Halloween events, fall colour hikes, or winter festivals and outdoor skating. We talk through real examples, starting with Bronte Creek and the way a quick e-...

You Don't Need To Be Fearless To Run Rapids

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/09/28

Send us Fan Mail Whitewater can look like a wall of noise and consequences, right up until someone hands you the map, the language, and the habits that make it feel possible. We’re joined by Jacob, Stefan, and Tim from Split Rock Outdoors, a Southern Ontario paddling crew with a deep love for rivers like the Madawaska and a mission to help more people get outside safely. We talk about how the three of them met, why “Split Rock” is more than a cool name, and what it feels like to go from anxi...

How Much Redundancy Does Clean Water Need

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/09/21

Send us Fan Mail Forgetting a water filter in the backcountry sounds like a small mistake until you’re staring at a lake and realizing every sip is a gamble. We share the real story of arriving at camp, reaching for our usual gravity filter setup, and finding out it’s not coming to the rescue. From there, we walk through what actually worked, what tasted terrible but kept us healthy, and how to think clearly when clean water suddenly becomes the most important task of the day. We get p...

What If Knowledge Weighs Nothing

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/09/14

Send us Fan Mail A hypothermia scare on a winter mountain. A “routine” knife slip that turns into major blood loss. These are the kinds of outdoor moments that cut through ego fast, and they are exactly why we wanted bushcraft educator and author Ryan Marshall on the Super Good Camping Podcast. Ryan joins us to unpack what actually keeps you safe and confident outside, especially when conditions change and mistakes stack up. We talk through his near-miss hypothermia story, the early warning ...

Back From Hiatus And Back Outdoors

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/09/07

Send us Fan Mail A hornet sting that blisters in minutes is not the kind of souvenir anyone wants from a camping trip, but it makes for a brutally honest lesson from the backcountry. Tim is flying solo as Super Good Camping returns from a 7 to 8 week hiatus, shaking off the rust and catching up on what the crew has been doing outside while life keeps moving. If you love Ontario camping, canoe tripping, and real-world outdoor stories, this one is a quick hit of summer truth. We look bac...

Canoe Tripping Stories And Smart Gear With Andy Baxter

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/07/20

Send us Fan Mail A “bear barrel” that is not bear proof sounds like a problem until you understand what it is really for. We sit down with Andy Baxter, owner of Recreational Barrel Works, and talk through the real-world reasons paddlers rely on barrels for backcountry canoe camping: keeping food dry, keeping smells contained, and cutting down on the critter chaos that can wreck a campsite. Along the way, Andy shares the kind of tripping stories you only earn through distance, weather, and the...

Backcountry Paddleboarding

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/07/13

Send us Fan Mail A paddleboard in the backcountry sounds like a stunt until you hear the method behind it. We sit down with Marybeth from Paddle Adventurer, an adventure guide and outdoor content creator who’s been running backcountry stand-up paddleboard trips for years and showing Canadians what’s possible with an inflatable SUP and the right skills. We get practical about what makes backcountry paddleboarding work: choosing a durable inflatable board, understanding volume and weight limit...

We Learned More From Three Dumps Than From Smooth Water

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/07/08

Send us Fan Mail The Spanish River has a way of teaching fast. On days three and four of our canoe trip, we went from “pretty comfortable on lakes” to getting humbled by rockered whitewater boats that love to wander. With about 25 kilometres on day three, we felt every little twitch in the hull, zigzagged more than we’d like to admit, and learned how much energy it takes to find a clean rhythm when the boat is built to turn. The good news: moving water gives back. Once we started trusting the...

From Algonquin To The Yukon: How Two Paddlers Plan...

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/07/06

Send us Fan Mail Smoke-choked skies, waves breaking over the canoe, and a plan that has to work even when there’s no cell signal. That’s the reality of the kind of wilderness canoe tripping Eric and Hillary from Tailwinds North love most, and they join us to share what it actually takes to travel farther off the beaten path without turning every day into a crisis. We start with how their story grows from paddling around Bancroft and Algonquin into bigger routes like the Yukon River, th...

Dropped By Train Into The Wild

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/07/01

Send us Fan Mail A train drops us at Cartier, we heave canoes and packs onto the gravel, and suddenly we’re committed. No road noise, no easy exits, just a rail stop, a portage, and the start of our Spanish River canoe trip. We’re Tim and Thomas, and we’re recording from camp on a cool, overcast June day in Northern Ontario with rapids behind us and a whole lot of bug pressure in the air. We break down the travel day in plain language: the train timing, meeting other riders, unloading ...

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/06/29

Send us Fan Mail The internet makes backcountry adventure look effortless, but the real story is usually messier, colder, and a lot more human. We sit down with Marty Morissette to talk about what happens when the season of life that built your outdoor identity shifts under your feet and how you choose what to carry forward. We dig into the Hamilton Adventure Expo, the outdoor community that keeps people coming back, and why Marty builds his talks around storytelling instead of “perfect” tri...

Canoe Business In Winter

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/06/15

Send us Fan Mail A canoe shop owner admitting he’s not in the “canoe business” so much as the “canoe logistics business” is the kind of honesty we love, and it’s exactly where this chat goes. We’re recording live from the Hamilton Adventure Expo with Greg Robertson from Organic Boat Shop, with a classic Ontario snow dump on the way, and somehow that makes everything feel even more Canadian: planning paddling season while bracing for winter. We get into how outdoor shows kick-start trip...

Drinking Anywhere In Ontario Parks

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/06/08

Send us Fan Mail Ontario just opened the door to drinking throughout provincial parks, not only at your own campsite, and we can’t stop thinking about what that changes on the ground. We’re Pamela and Tim from Supergoodcamping.com, and while we understand the appeal of relaxing outdoors, we’re worried the new Ontario Parks alcohol rules will bring more than “summer vibes.” When alcohol shows up on trails, at busy beaches, and around launch points, it can shift a park from peaceful to unpredic...

Thunder Boxes On Snowmobiles Because Portaging Is Pain

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/06/01

Send us Fan Mail Old growth forest, forgotten portages, and the kind of canoe routes that only exist as long as people keep travelling them. We’re live at the Hamilton Adventure Expo talking with Mike from Friends Of Temagami, a 100% volunteer-driven nonprofit founded in 1995 that works to protect Temagami’s remaining old growth and keep backcountry access from quietly disappearing. Mike breaks down what stewardship looks like in practice: choosing where trail maintenance matters most, clear...

We Lose A Lifeline When Weather Alerts Move Online

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/05/25

Send us Fan Mail Your phone shows sunshine, the clouds look wrong, and you’re two days deep into the backcountry with no signal. Now imagine the one tool that could confirm what’s coming next goes silent. That’s the gut-level concern we dig into as we talk about Environment and Climate Change Canada winding down the weather radio network and pushing Canadians toward online updates like the WeatherCAN app and the ECCC website. We get specific about why weather radio has mattered for camping s...

Send us Fan Mail A stranger walks up holding an old canoe book and says, “You signed this to my dad 35 years ago.” Minutes later, Kevin Callan signs it again for the next generation and the whole Hamilton Adventure Expo suddenly feels like a small world. That’s where our livestream chat begins, and it sets the tone for a conversation about how canoe camping stories stick, how outdoor skills get passed along, and why community is the real reason these shows matter. We dig into Kevin’s idea of...

Carbon Fibre Canoe Paddles Made Simple

2026/05/04

Send us Fan Mail A carbon fibre canoe paddle can sound like something meant for elite racers, but Chris from Ripple FX Paddles makes a convincing case that the right design is actually about making paddling simpler, smoother, and less punishing on your body. We’re live at the Hamilton Adventure Expo as he shares what it’s like to bring a new gear business into the real world, talk face-to-face with trippers, and watch people’s reactions when they pick up an eight-ounce paddle for the first ti...

Camp Meal Planning Made Simple

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/04/27

Send us Fan Mail Your meals can make or break a camping trip and most problems start before you even leave the driveway. We walk through the no-drama way we plan and prep food so we can spend more time hiking, paddling, swimming, and hanging out with the kids, and less time digging through a soggy cooler. Tim shares his old-school grid method for mapping breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks by day, plus how that single sheet of paper prevents overpacking, forgotten ingredients, and last-m...

Travel Stories That Stay With You

Super Good Camping Podcast ·

2026/04/20

Send us Fan Mail A long haul trip can hand you the best view of your life, then toss you onto an overnight bus that makes you question every choice you’ve ever made. We sit down with Toronto author and Fly Travel Radio host Melissa Rodway to talk about the kind of travel stories that don’t fit on a postcard: chaos in Southeast Asia, the strange kindness of strangers, and the moments that turn into the memories you keep for decades. We also get practical. Melissa shares how she builds meaning...
