Figured it was time to officially introduce my “crew”. I guess they have always been a part of my crew. We each have some personalities that come out while camping, and really each of us can take on any of these roles.
Introducing my Crew!
What’s in a name…
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….
- Figure out a concept
- Get a proper address
- Figure out a name to help promote page on social media
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.)
Explore Gear Box (Unboxing video and details)
This past winter I had found a link online for the Explore Magazine. They are based out of BC and they were sending out gear boxes throughout the year for a subscription cost. I had caught the tail end of the Winter box, and was very interested in what I saw. 4 times a year they will send out a box full of gear, accompanied by a list of challenges that they post on their Facebook page.

Canada 150 – Mine Was Memorable, Was Yours?
Saturday, July 1st, 2017
We had no real plans. I figured we would have the usual, “What do you want to do?” conversation this weekend. I was watching other people plan camping and canoeing trips, but we had opted to stay close to home. There are quite a few Canada Day celebration activities planned in this area so off we went Saturday morning.
