Adventures in the outdoors
If you have been following this site, you will have noticed that this summer we purchased our first canoe and took it on it’s first trip. Now comes the time when we need to figure out how to store it over the winter. There are some people who would do this outside, but we are looking to have it stored in our garage.
Food Barrel Prep
While preparing for our Temagami trip, a friend of mine inquired about packing a food barrel. She has never traveled with one, and I decided that I would do up a little blog and video to show her. The benefit of this, I get to pass it along this information to you as well.
Winner Winner!
As part of this years Paddle in the Park Contest, there are prizes to be won outside the normal paddles hidden in the park and the prizes at the end of the season. Just to backtrack a little, this is my first time hearing and participating in this contest. I caught a little glimpse over the winter about this contest and started to look into it more.
I have been mulling over for a while about getting my blog going on a serious level. This means I have to do a few things….
I have a concept. It’s been there for a while. We are an outdoor family, we love adventures, and I really love sharing what we do. Check for #1.
Since my hubby has a photography site, he also has a web server. This means I am able to get a website address. Done!
Third one was harder. Getting a name to use. I have been using my personal account Sue_Squared, but time for this to have its own name. I tossed around many ideas, thought about just using my own name… This was hard!
I decided to go to someone who I knew I could share my ideas and get some positive and helpful feedback. There were a few options thrown around, but in the end Camper Christina came up with Sue’s Outdoor Crew. This was awesome. She gave some good advice to check other social media sites for the names I was contemplating, and this one was good to go. Others had way to many close connections.
My hubby was being helpful and suggesting a short form for Instagram and Twitter, but if you consider Sue’s Crew with the space in the wrong place….. it would NOT be a good thing.
So, this is the official post to welcome you to this blog, site, page you name it. You can find me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. I am looking forward to sharing our stories with you, and I really do hope you all enjoy them.
(Huge Huge Huge Thanks to Camper Christina! I can’t say it enough, but having someone to chat with behind the scenes is something that we can all appreciate. Especially when we are getting started.)
