Paddler's Guide to Happy Camping
This is Kevin Callan's blog about his trips, his (mis-)adventures, and his favourite gear.
Kevin Callan's Happy Camper TV Coming Soon
My mother always said that change was good. Of course, I think she was referring to the changing of my underwear or socks. But I’ve taken her advice in relation to spreading my enthusiasm and knowledge of camping and the outdoors. My new project is not a book this year; it’s an on-line video website presenting multiple episodes on ways to be a “happy camper.” It’s going to be a blast!
The launch will be in a few weeks. We’re a little behind schedule, mainly because our prop guy, Scott, while dressed in a cheap bear costume for a “bear wise” episode, decided to attack me during filming and managed to break two of my ribs (see previous blogs for the full story). The producer, Kip, wants some extra time to make sure we edit that scene into the episode and, according to my wife, I need some time away from Scott. It’s worth the wait though. The Happy Camper on www.kevincallan.com won’t disappoint you.
Watch the attached trailer to get a taste of the content - just ignore the 'coming in September' line at the end. Each episode is guaranteed to be funny, witty and full of information!






















Cool, I look forward to this! Sorry about the ribs though...you know the funny thing is that 2 broken ribs is likely much worse that one could expect from an actual black bear, really they are like big dogs, I see them at landfills all the time, and have encountered them on the trail, even ones that are much bigger than me usually run away when I approach them, but just in case I keep some pepper spray handy. My system is the same as with dogs, Don't show fear, show dominance and face them, make yourself BIG and LOUD! You are the boss, not them...but keep an ace up your sleeve.
Can't wait to see it Kevin! What fun!
Look forward to seeing Happy Camper....trailer has your great sense of humour....
