Haha. That's a block from my place :)
TL:DR I live in Calgary and work in an office and want to get away from people for a weekend with a couple friends. Where should I go? Extra points for fishing and a view!
I'm planning on going...
Okay, so the honeymoon went really well.
We ended up landing in Nanaimo and decided while we were driving to just check a few places out. We ended up staying our first 5 days at Englishman River...
Cool. Thanks. That's what I'll do.
So, I'm thinking about camping in a ministry of forest campground. I called a dude that works at barberton and he said hammocks would be an issue because you have to hang over the gravel and there...
How do parks usually view hanging hammocks? Any issues I should be aware of?
Sorry. I'm a newbie to the highest degree.
That sounds amazing. Maybe for our next trip out. I'm sure we'll return.
That sucks! I just booked a forrest site before I refreshed this page to see your reply. I guess worst case scenario is we cancel the reservation if it's a crap site.
Unfortunately there were no...
Great tips. Thanks.
So are you talking about wilderness camping or going to green point? Or a private place?
Has anyone stayed at Bamberton Park? Any thoughts or opinions on it?
Two weeks. We'll be staying in Kalowna and Vancouver on the way to see friends and family, but we'll be spending a bit over a week on the island.
Thanks Bill,

That looks pretty cool. We might just do that. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you SO much for your suggestions. I'm thinking I'd like to try Strathcona some time because like you said it looks amazing. I'm pretty confident that I my wife would be comfortable there too,...
Thanks again everyone.
Hey Bill, thanks. I grew up in Rossland so it's cool to hear from a Kootenay person.
Thanks. I'll try my best to document, but I only have a week after working full time to do this. I'll do my best though.
Thanks. I would love to hear your favourite places to camp in Vancouver island. I'll be there in a week :)
Hey everyone,
My wife and I are going to be taking a trip to Vancouver Island at the end of the week. She's only been camping once (I think for one night) so I want to ease her into it very...
Hey everyone,
I'm going to be sewing a couple hammocks this week. They'll be our first ones, and I'm wondering if we should go with symmetrical or asymmetrical designs?
I realize this is an...
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I did forget to mention that. I also bought I think 6 yards of noseeum netting :) That was a must.
Hey everyone,
I joined this forum to get some tips on building a hammock for my wife and I to camp in. She's never really camped properly before (it was just a big party where they slept in...
