Winter doesnt want go away, last week i came back from my course, i then decided to attack a new project.

The plan was to get a pop-up trailer, but i found a good deal on a M101 CDN trailer in a not so bad shape. bought it and now is the restoration for this summer!

I imagine that's going to be easier on your mileage as well. I'm hoping to do something similar here sometime. Looks great!

Definitly,a lot easier on the gas milage and everyday drive. the RTT didn't like the last winter. and now with the trailer it is more easier to get ready for camping. and I can bring more stuff for the family!

More picture to come from the last trip in Quebec!

I decided to try a simple option from MSR. They sell for about 20$ and are super lightweight and easy to use.

High Falls, Algonquin park, ON

This is saturday adventure:

The family is going to the Algonquin park with the jeep. On the road we decide to try the high falls trek. What an amazing day. You absolutely have to spend a day over there. The picture cant give enough justice to the place.

High falls!

Still looking great! How is that RTT holding up? Looks to be doing just fine! How often do you use it? How is it usually stored?

The tent is great, its even more easier to use with the trailer. The cover is starting o get beaten up, i might redo it in the fall. i just came back from a 10 days trip across eastern Canada, and now i am working on the house. the trailer is stored in my front ward for now. i really need a garage or something.

Réservoir Cabonga

Last weekend i went to a Camping in the Réservoir Cabonga. i had the chance to try my new drone and test the frig. With the stock battery and the alarm set to 11.6V i was able to keep the 2 frig at 5'c every night. I just need to work on the electrical now.
