Can you spot him? 🧸

This was my first time seeing a bear on the beach here on Vancouver Island.

Wild to think these incredible creatures call this place home too. Makes you wonder if they realize just how beautiful it is.

November camping on the West Coast of Canada 🍁 🌊🌲

Despite the warm glow from the sun, it’s actually quite chilly on the coast this time of year. It is November in Canada, after all. But the weather doesn’t stop me, and when you have the right gear to keep you warm, you can extend your seasons of adventure and enjoy more days like this.

For my cold-night backcountry sleeping setup, I use a few essentials from . Starting with the Ether Light XR Pro Mat for ultimate comfort on varying terrain and warmth from below. Then I use the Reactor Fleece Liner inside the Spark Down Sleeping Bag for a cozy night’s sleep. Lastly, the Aeros Premium Pillow, super soft, comfortable, and the final piece for a good night’s rest anywhere you are.

As someone who loves to explore and spend more days outdoors than not, having the proper gear is essential. Especially in the colder seasons. And while all this gear keeps me incredibly warm, the second thing I love most is how compact and lightweight it all packs down, making me feel like I have a lot with only a little on my back.

If you want to extend your seasons and enjoy more days like this, you have to check out gear. 🏕️
