Super Good Camping Podcast
Hi there! We are a blended family of four who are passionate about camping, nature, the great outdoors, physical activity, health, & being all-around good Canadians! We would love to inspire others to get outside & explore all that our beautiful country has to offer. Camping fosters an appreciation of nature, physical fitness, & emotional well-being. Despite being high-tech kids, our kids love camping! We asked them to help inspire your kids. Their creations are in our Kids section. For the adults, we would love to share our enthusiasm for camping, review some of our favourite camping gear, share recipes & menus, tips & how-to's, & anything else you may want to know about camping. Got a question about camping? Email us so we can help you & anyone else who may be wondering the same thing. We are real people, with a brutally honest bent. We don't get paid by anyone to provide a review of their product. We'll be totally frank about what we like or don't like.

Your phone shows a dot on a screen until it doesn’t and that’s usually the exact moment the trail splits or the shoreline stops making sense. We’re Pamela and Tim from SuperGoodCamping.com, and we’re on a mission to help families get outside with more confidence. Map skills aren’t old-school trivia; they’re the difference between a stressful guess and a calm, clear choice when you’re hiking, camping, or paddling wit...
A canoe trip can be a quick highlight reel, or it can be a true short film that feels like you’re sitting in the boat, hearing the water, and watching the light change minute by minute. We sit down with Pete Park from Latitude Wilderness Films to get the inside story behind The Canoeist, his new cinematic wilderness film built around a solo paddler’s journey for peace, solitude, and meaning far from cell service and...
The difference between a good camping trip and a great one is usually a few minutes of research. We’ve both shown up thinking we made a smart choice, only to learn the hard way that “quiet” depends on where your site sits, what the washrooms are like, and whether you accidentally booked beside the generator crowd.
We walk through how we research a camping destination step by step, from choosing the right park ba...
What if camp food didn’t taste like compromise? We sit down with Camp Kitchen’s trio—chef-driven recipes, camera in hand, design chops at the ready—and trace how a home-based certified kitchen turned into a thousand-meal launch at the Hamilton Adventure Expo. This is a ground-up build: dense proteins cut to rehydrate on time, short noodles that won’t pulverize in a pack, and breakfasts that greet you with a wave of ...
Frost on the tent, mist on the lake, and a quiet trail all to yourself—edge-season camping can be magic if you prepare for it. We break down how to stay warm, dry, and confident through early spring, late fall, or a surprise cold snap, drawing on decades of trips and a few hard-won lessons.
We start by defining what shoulder season really looks like: freeze–thaw cycles, mud and slush, shortened daylight, an...
The show floor is buzzing, but we carve out a quiet corner to trade notes with Will from Bowman Gear—a maker who turns fabric and stubborn ideas into gear that actually solves trail problems. From the first cut to the final stitch, Will walks us through two and a half months of prep for the Hamilton Adventure Expo, including a two-week, all-in push and a smart shop setup that brought his family into the flow. This i...
The forest is never silent; it’s full of signals that make camping safer and more meaningful once you know how to listen. We unpack a clear, field-ready approach to wildlife tracking that swaps fear for understanding—reading prints, scat, and soundscapes to predict movement and avoid conflict. From deer edges and coyote straight-line trails to the unmistakable hand-like raccoon prints that circle docks and campsites...
Ever dreamed of pulling a bubbling lasagna or a crispy pizza from a campfire on day five? We sit down with Denis from Kid Product to unpack the gear that makes real backcountry cooking possible: a reflector oven that turns radiant heat into even baking, a twig stove rigid enough to hold cast iron, and smart fire tools that simplify the whole routine without adding weight.
We start with the reflector oven, a...
Doors opened, snow started flying, and the Hamilton Outdoor Adventure Expo doubled down on scale and energy. We walked into two buildings packed with makers, guides, and paddlers, plus a winter courtyard alive with cooking demos, hot tents, dog sleds, and even knife forging. The growth wasn’t just bigger booths; it was deeper conversations and a stronger sense of community that’s hard to capture online.
We ...
We shift from Crown land to conservation area camping and explain why these smaller, well-kept sites near Ontario’s cities are a smart choice for families, first-timers, and weekend warriors. We compare amenities, rules, and vibe, and share standout locations and booking tips.
• conservation authorities’ mission and why camping is secondary use
• southern and central Ontario locations close to cities
A rusty mug that cuts your lip. A wood stove without a door. Eighty days on Great Slave Lake will make you grateful for the little things—and will redraw your map of what matters. We sat down with winter guide and Alone Season 7 alum Kielyn Marrone to unpack how survival clarity and traditional craft can turn deep cold into deep comfort.
Kielyn traces the path from competitive athlete to outdoor educator to...
Think you can camp anywhere for free on Ontario’s Crown land? We dig into the real rules, the best regions, and the prep that turns a risky guess into a confident adventure. After a quick year-five milestone shoutout, we map out what Crown land actually is, why so much of it sits north of the French River, and how local restrictions shape where you can pitch a tent, light a fire, and stay legally.
We walk t...
A last-minute curveball from VIA Rail threatened to kill a long-planned Spanish River trip. We refused to pack it in. Instead, we pivoted north to the lower Temagami River, launching from Red Cedar Lake and finding warm days, calm nights, and a crew that just clicked. That shift became a reminder that great canoe trips hinge on nimble planning, weather grace, and teammates who keep it light when logistics go sideway...
Want a better definition of a “good” camping trip? Try this: safety, comfort, joy, and connection. We take a human-centred approach to planning inclusive outdoor adventures, showing how small choices—like site surfaces, seating height, and sound levels—can unlock the outdoors for every ability and energy level.
We start with place and pace: how to choose accessible frontcountry sites with firm ground, curb-...
A beaver roommate, a septic disaster, and a storm barreling in at 2 p.m.—and somehow this became the most rewarding trip of the year. We sit down with Camper Christina to unpack a bold return to Quebec’s Route 61 after a confidence-shaking capsize, and follow her step by step through low-water puzzles, rocky R1s, and the moment she realized the “dump zone” was now a shallow wade. It’s a story about reading current, ...
What if your tent packed to a loaf of bread, your lantern doubled as a power bank, and your jacket helped manage heat without piling on layers? We dive into the gear that actually changes backcountry days: thin solar panels that keep phones and GPS units alive, ultralight shelters that shrug off storms, and smart fabrics that breathe, dry fast, and keep you moving when the weather flips.
We share real-world wins...
The map looks simple until the trees vanish. Then the wind takes over, the horizon stretches for days, and every choice you make—gear, timing, route—has to respect a landscape that doesn’t bend. We sit down with Jim Gallagher and Brian Johnston, a two-person team with 16 years and 5,600 kilometres of Arctic canoe travel, to unpack how they keep remote trips calm, safe, and deeply rewarding.
They walk us thr...
You can feel the spark from the first minute: a morning coffee turned into a grassroots outdoor festival that now spans a Friday night film showcase, three packed halls, and a winter courtyard buzzing with dog sleds, fire pits, hot tents, and live demos. We’re joined by Jason and Bretton from the Hamilton Adventure Expo to trace how they kept the show independent, community-centred, and hands-on while doubling its s...
The camp stove shouldn’t be where flavour goes to die. We sat down with Liz and Wally from Wanderless Kitchen to share how they turned heirloom South Asian recipes into plant‑based dehydrated meals that pack light, rehydrate fast, and taste like home after a long day on the water or trail. Their journey starts in Lahore’s kitchens, winds through a windy first paddle on Georgian Bay, and lands in a commercial kitchen...
What if the comfort you chase is the thing holding you back from real resilience? We sit down with Jay Carson—veteran of U.S. politics, creator behind House of Cards and The Morning Show, and now executive director of the Boulder Outdoor Survival School—to unpack how a minimalist 14-day course can reset your inner compass. From a pandemic power outage that felt apocalyptic to making friction fires and sleeping witho...
