Outdoor Adventure Show 2019 – Part 1

This year’s Outdoor Adventure Show took place in Toronto from February 22-24th and I am so grateful that I was able to attend again as an official blogger. This show highlights all things outdoors and is an integral component of the outdoor community that I love, so I am excited to share my experience with everyone who couldn’t attend. The show is also a great place to see old friends, make new ones, and shop around for gear (that I really don’t need, but want to buy anyway!). I actually didn’t buy anything this year, but I did look REALLY hard at some items.

Over the next couple of posts, I will recap a few of the presentations that I was able to attend and take you around the venue showing off different booths, displays, demonstrations etc. I hope you enjoy!

No names nor the situation will be used as I feel that isn’t important in this post, it’s the response that I witnessed that is.

Hot Tenting with Christina

Friday Evening

Since our last trip was so much fun, both Christina and I knew that we would be booking another winter trip together, so back in the fall we both checked our calendars and picked a date in February. At first the plan was to do a one night trip somewhere near her new place, but as the trip got closer, we eventually decided that we would do two nights instead. For me, that meant leaving right after work on Friday to make the drive North to our chosen destination.

That was the beginning of our easy two night trip….. or so we thought…. I will apologize now for the long winded upcoming paragraphs, but this information is important to share.
