There is a specific kind of peace that only settles in when the sun dips below a frozen horizon and the wood stove starts to crackle.

Home for the night after a long hike. The cooler temperatures as we approach fall are supportive of hiking.

Back from a backcountry hiking trip. The weather was more fall-like, than summer-like, with rain, but that's OK. No bugs, no crowds, crisp air - dreamy!
After the long backpacking camping hike, we did one more hike in a pine forest on the way home. It was almost spiritual with cool mist and deafening quiet.

The sun sure is pretty on the canvas hot tent. Warming up, and having a bite of lunch.

It was a lot of work, but camp chilly-bum has been established. 💪⛄
I'm cosier than you would imagine in that tent right now. Such a strange and empowering thing to be be like "yeah, I'll go sleep on some snow, for fun", thrive, and enjoy it.
It's a good thing too because it's a lot of work! 😥

Made a slidey gear burrito to get all my stuff into the campsite! Tired, but excited!

The things I do for fun...
Last night's drive up to northern Ontario was intense! Much of it, you couldn't see where the road was. Forget about any concept of lanes!
I got off the road when conditions got even worse. The snow was causing white out.

Wood stove all scrubbed down and ready to stow for next winter.
My #snowtrekker canvas hot tent is stowed as well.
Winter camping is so much work, but I can't wait to go winter camping again!

I'm cosy and dry, even though it is still raining and 4°C/39°F. It was absolutely pouring cats and dogs for a while! I heard/saw owls, whip-poor-wills, hermit thrushes, blue jays, ravens, and others of my favourite birds. #birds #photography #hiking #nature #takelessdomore #gossamergear
