Here's hoping for more of your plans to be approved and permits given. REI is such a great store. Our sons shopped there for all their backpacking trips. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures. Have a great weekend!ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-28503720945801490182019-04-05T08:26:59.873-06:002019-04-05T08:26:59.873-06:00wonderful journey...

Your preparation in this camping is so very well planned efficiently. I sid camp once in 2017, and 2x in 2018.

And then as I read through I began to understand the real hazards and dangers that you both will face - especially the bear spray. I wondered if you might need a firearm too? You are very brave and adventurous to do this.<br /><br />Well done for spotting my April Fool - very few did unless they clicked the link. Birders over here take it all very seriously. I think many should join your adventure into the wilds of canada.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-64491597735242659422019-04-02T00:23:20.192-06:002019-04-02T00:23:20.192-06:00You are really an outdoor person Angie!

Funny story, we were camped in Sequioa National park and nite was coming on when a ranger came by and told us bears had been seen in the area, so to make sure our food was stowed properly and not to sleep in our cars since bears have been ripping open the doors. I broke camp, and drove the 2 hours in the nite to a motel!...lol Hubby was a bit mad at me. :) KitKithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821207596562393224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-85402775100644704442019-04-01T09:18:16.534-06:002019-04-01T09:18:16.534-06:00You look well prepared!

We still have a lot of our gear and feel tempted to at least car camp sometime. I actually got rid of my big backpack just a few months ago. I think I shed a tear or two!

He even toted it all with him when he did his one month in Patagonia volunteering at an organic garden but was never able to use it because of weather conditions at that time. It's definitely a good idea to be very prepared. Sounds like y'all are ready for your adventures to begin. Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171418303494806370noreply@blogger.com
