Embracing the Wilderness – The Joys of Camping in Ontario

"You never feel more alive than when you're on the ragged edge of what's possible."

Join us for an absolutely wonderful chat with Chris & Julia Prouse, the proud record holders for the fastest time completing the Meanest Link canoe route in Algonquin Park - expedition style. No support. No food drops. Just the two of them against the clock & the elements.

They are great Moms that have been taking their wee one into the backcountry since he was 8 months old, if memory serves.

They have a truly amazing YouTube channel. Ditto for their Instagram.

Tim very much feels a kindred soul in Julia's sense of humour.

Chris comes back for more chatting after Julia had to call it a day and even turns the tables and interviews us for a bit. :)

Please check out all of their content. Seriously, it's pro-level material! And great storytelling. And they're just awesome people!!!
