Love being outdoors? I am excited to share my best experiences with you whether it be camping, canoeing, cooking , hiking or travelling in our RV. My goal is to encourage all people to try to get out there in whatever capacity you can regardless of your age ,ability or gender. The outdoors has something magical to offer all of us. Please join me on my adventures whether large or small. There are opportunities for challenges or deep rest. For me the outdoors is a place of infinite discovery as well as my source of restoration, personal peace and joy.
Twig Stove Lasagna- How to Make One!
Come along with me as I bake my first lasagna on my combination twig stove and billy can /oven. It turned out to be much easier than I would have thought and it was delicious. I used my Bushbox lf twig stove , a baking kit from Firebox , my billy can and some briquettes along with some yummy homemade tomato and ground beef sauce. #fireboxbakekit #bushboxlf #campfirecooking

Grilling on My New BushBox LF Twig Stove
Переглядів 7 тис.Місяць тому
I recently purchased a Bush Box Lf twig stove from Bushcraft Essentials along with a small stainless steel grill. This is my first time using either piece of cooking gear and I was pleasantly surprised with the success of the experiment. A really compact little stove , easy to use and provided a great way to cook on a fire. Something I believe I will use quite a lot. #bushboxlf #cookingoverfire...

Woke up to a gray and drizzly day. To brighten my mood I knew I needed to get outside. Milo was happy to come along on a a fall day hike to breath some fresh air and get some exercise, medicine for the mind, body and soul. With up a hike up a local hill, a walk beside a lovely lake and great company we both returned home happy and content. #hiking #womenhike #doglife
Wind Storm Camp with Milo-Bob too!
Переглядів 8 тис.2 місяці тому
We set out with our rescue dog Milo for 2 nights in the van. His first such camp out we believe. We arrived to a significant wind and rain storm which made being outside very uncomfortable and somewhat unsafe. Come along and see how we managed and how or if Milo adapted. It wasn't without its challenges. #vancamping #campingwithdogs #stormcamping
Quiet and Alone- a Mountain Overnight
Переглядів 14 тис.2 місяці тому
Join me on a wonderful hike out to a mountain lake through the beauty of the subalpine meadows and forests. The fall colours are just beginning to change and the forest floor is littered with a wide variety of mushrooms. Cranes are on the move singing there songs and the whiskey jacks are ever eager to scavenge your trail bars! It is a wonderful experience to hike and sit in the quiet of nature...
Overnight at Pachena Beach - one coast to the other
Переглядів 8 тис.3 місяці тому
After a drive from the east side of Vancouver Island to the west side in the van I arrived at Pachena Beach Campground for a great camp right on the beach . Listening the ocean waves roll in, walking the sands and taking in the beauty I topped off the day with a steak cooked over a beach fire- It doesn't get much better than this. #pachenabeachcampground #vancomping #solocamping

Please come along on with me as I enjoy a late summer overnight in a local campground. Enjoy a calming paddle along the lake shore, a simple but tasty dinner and a gorgeous and quiet evening by the campfire. Stepping back from the day to day gives me the space I need to reassess what I value and return home refreshed. #solocamping #womencamping #simpleliving
Meeting Milo- our new family member

Please come along and meet our new family member, Milo. He is a 5 year old Jindo cross rescued from a high kill kennel in Korea. He came to us August 25 and we have all been working at our own adjustments and attachments since! Right now he requires a lot of our time as change is very hard for him. Each day usually shows some improvements but the process is not without the odd set back. We can ...

Please come along with my friend Lydia and me as we seek out a recent run of sockeye salmon on the Stamp River on Vancouver Island .

Happy Belated Solstice, Wendy! That looked utterly delicious. Thanks for showing us your experiment.
I like your pants, what are they?
Oh, I wish I was out camping.
I'm 50 now and did a lot of hiking and camping about 10 years ago always with someone else. I'm just getting back into it and going at it solo for the first time. Good advice. I've setup up my gear in my yard and practiced with my setup and stove etc. I feel a lot more confident and am looking for to my first solo overnight. Great video!
Another great video !
looks delicious Wendy Your making me hungry !!
Another excellent video, Wendy, and a successful experiment. Thank you for sharing. I hope you have perfectly lovely holidays❤
Wonderful video, Wendy! Thanks so much for sharing your brilliance! Have you tried any of the lightweight solar cookers? They work take a little longer, but work fine for dishes like this, and you can walk away and leave them, without fear of starting a fire.
❤ I could almost smell 5hat, looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
looks good MERRY CHRISTMAS
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too Phyllis
Mmm, looks so good - I can almost smell it! I love that you use your spare time to do things like this! Much Holiday Happiness to you ❤
Thank you! It was delicious Cathy and yes, it makes those long winter days a bit more enjoyable!
Such a great idea for a windscreen. Another great video !
Thank you Stella
Great video ! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
What a great idea! Even with the ready to oven pasta. After a full day of hiking lasagna would be enough to bring ne to tears. 😁
Sounds great to me! thanks for commenting
I actually waved my arms around when I found your video with your normal voice - lol! That feature would be great for folks where English is a second language. And I love the content of your video - made me hungry! A thought - would a piece of foil on top of the briquettes on the top hold in some heat - if appropriate? Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your New Year, also!
I'll keep that foil tip in mind- thanks for your suggestion Gillian, I'll give it a try. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas as well!
yay, good to see that you got some of Firebox Stove's excellent baking accessories. I find that chunk charcoal burns for longer and does not choke up the little stove with ash. You inspire me to try some outdoor baking!
thanks- It is lots of fun to try different things. not sure if I can find that kind of charcoal but will keep my eyes open
@wendyoutdoors2230 you can get it at Canadian Tire
Brilliant ... well done you, always enjoy your videos many thanks.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch Vanessa thanks so very much
This video is great! Love the thought of baking things while camping! What is the size of your billy can?
Hi Tammy- it is 2 quarts and 14cm. So happy to hear you enjoyed this.
Oh so much better to hear YOU! Looks delish!
totally- lost a lot of views and subs due to this mess up but... so be it- stuff happens. thanks for hanging in there Kyle
Ahhh that’s much better to have your voice back. You did a wonderful job making your lasagna. Looked very yummy. Thank you and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Take care
Thanks so much- Merry Christmas to you too Brenda. I so appreciate you came back and checked it out again. Twas a bit of a battle for this old gal!!!
looks very yummy
It was so good! I was very pleased Dana- thank you
i love your videos and have been almost through all of them. i wonder if you have any suggestions of people you enjoy to watch that might be similiar ? I really like you are closed to my age and that you are in canada and a woman. I really find listening and watching you so calming.
thank you Sylvia- One of the main reasons I started this channel was because I couldn't find any older women out there doing what I like to do. @girlinthewoods -Brooke Whipple (American)was an inspiration to me and continues to be so. She is much younger than me but still a role model in many ways. @alexisoutdoors (canadian) now @careenaalexis was also inspiration with so many bush craft videos in her "earlier" days.Many years younger. She has recently had a baby so may not be going off to the bush like she used to but she did post many great out in the woods videos earlier. I have yet to find another grandmother type like me but if you find one please pass it along. I know they are out there but not making videos for the most part. @camperchristina (Canadian) does some amazing solo canoe trips. Check them out. Good luck and please give me a heads up when you find something.
@wendyoutdoors2230 thank you and I will let you know what- if I find anything :)
Loving all the things you've been able to do with the bush box!
so much fun. A great way to spend winter time here in the wet west coast. . Thank you
Yes! In the Netherlands much sad weather 😢. You have the sun and a beautiful experiment 😊. Enjoy the moment and to you too peaceful holidays and i hopefully see you soon.
thank you Wilma- Yes , a good day between storms and more forecast --- well, at least we are doing well and have a good roof over our heads. thank you for your well wishes and the same to you. Have a great holiday season
Hi Wendy: It was fun watching you you bake your twig stove lasagna. It looked mighty tasty and made my mouth water! How wonderful it must be to enjoy eating your lasagna with the warm sunshine and pine-scented air. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays to you and your family. 🎄⛄🎅 Jenny
It was a lovely day for cooking! Happy Holidays to you too Jenny! I look forward to sharing the outdoors with you again in 2025. Many thanks
@@wendyoutdoors2230 You're welcome Wendy. I made homemade burritos for dinner tonight. I haven't done that in many years and it was really good.
Oh my gosh, Wendy! I’m drooling. I love watching you cook on your stove! I will be fixing some lasagna today( in my house)😊
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy making your lasagna Lola- It is the best most comforting winter food . All those wonderful aromas!!! Enjoy!!!
You are one of my idols - no joke. It's so cool to see you out camping and being in the outdoors. I'd like to be able to do that one day too 😀
thank you so very much- I hope one day you can too!
Could almost smell it too!😊
It was wonderful! Love it when something works!
Very neat!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing, Wendy! Have a Very Merry and Blessed Christmas!! 🎄
Thank you! You too!
Aren't you clever! Good for you, Wendy! I appreciate you trying that out for us; it's so interesting to find out what's available, if you only knew. Good to see you. Have a very happy Christmas, and best hopes for a bright New Year.
thanks you so much- have a wonderful holiday season yourself-
Great job, successful experiment Wendy! Perfect amount of sauce. So happy to see you enjoying the beautiful outdoors there. We wish you a wonderful, happy, healthy Christmas!

Fabulous! Nice to see you again Wendy! Thank you for this great recipe and how to do it! What is the size of your Billy can please?
It is a 2 quart 14 cm- Ideal for 1-2 people. They make a bigger one and firebox makes a larger cook set for it.
I love outdoor cooking and happy to see the video on lasagna.
Hi Carolyn- hard to turn down a gooey lasagna for sure. I was the happy recipient of that lunch!
Always a nice surprise to see your videos!❤ That lasagna looks amazing! 😍
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Diane
Wendy, Wendy sooo glad to see you I commented earlier but then something happed to you voice? So glad it's fixed😊The lasagna looked yummy and I could smell it here in Okla. I thing you need to market your dehydrated meals 🫠 Have a blessed Christmas and see you again. 🌲❤
Thank you for watching and happy holidays to you Mary. love that you continue to support this channel
Hi Wendy! This was such a fun video! I enjoy seeing you try new things like this. Now that our fire ban has been lifted, I’m going to make a Dutch oven stew over this fire pit. Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year!
That's great! Good to hear you can cook over a fire again. I love that part of camping but we are experiencing more fire bans than in the past
