Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by!

I believe the outdoors is a powerful place to explore your true self and find a sense of balance and peace. Em Outdoors was created to inspire others to explore the natural world. Whether it’s travelling, hiking, canoeing, camping, or just exploring nature, I’m here to help you make the most of your outdoor experiences. I post about my own adventures, along with helpful tips and tricks that I’ve learned along the way. So leave your worries indoors and come along and join me on my next adventure!

Winter walks have become my go-to activity lately ❄️. Since getting Sundae, little morning walks in the fresh air have become part of my daily routine—and honestly, they’ve been such a game-changer for my mental health.

There's something about stepping outside, even when it’s freezing, that clears my head and makes the colder months so much more bearable... it’s like a mini reset every day. 🐾☀️

How do you stay active during the winter months? Let me know in the comments!

Just got back from Norway, and let me tell you, they know how to do winter right. ❄️

We spent Christmas and New Year’s with family, bouncing between Asker, Oslo, and Trysil. The trip included *all* the skiing—cross-country (where I may or may not have faceplanted) and downhill runs that made my legs question all my life choices. ⛷️

Christmas dinner was a feast of traditions: ribba (aka crispy pork belly heaven) and pinosjot (slow-cooked lamb). Let’s just say there were no leftovers. 🎄 Then we cranked up the hygee on a sauna boat —because nothing says relaxation like roasting in a sauna before jumping into freezing water that makes your soul briefly leave your body. 🛥️🔥🧊

I’ve taken notes on what Norwegians do very right and will absolutely be stealing these ideas for my own life and future dream home:

❄️ Heated floors everywhere (why stop at the bathroom?).
❄️ A sauna in every home
❄️ Seperate duvets per person (goodbye blanket wars).
❄️ Candles, candles, and more candles for maximum coziness.
❄️ Wool everything—the ultimate go-to for staying warm, cozy, and stylish all winter long.
❄️ Prioritizing outdoor time, even when it’s freezing.
❄️ Quality over quantity—things are pricey, but they’re built to last. With no Amazon in Norway, most items are locally made, and you can even sell clothes back to some stores when you’re done with them.

Norway, you were something else. I’ll be dreaming of snow, skiing, and second servings of ribba until next time.

Relax and recharge? Who's she?

More like hike, paddle, and explore every inch of the map. Some people rest on vacation... I come back needing a nap. 😂🌍

2024, you were an absolute whirlwind! 😅

From getting married (💍✨) and changing jobs, road-tripping through Sedona with my gal pals in a mini-van, seeing my first-ever total solar eclipse, and bringing Sundae on his first camping and canoeing adventures (chaotic but cute 🐾), to leading a canoe trip for 20 (!!) people and finally hiking the Bruce Peninsula — what a ride! 🚀

Not to mention collaborations with amazing brands like @valhallapureoutfitters @ruffwear @cabinscape @thescrubba @truearthmovement @nakieco @alpine.nation and @paddlingmagazine, celebrating Em Outdoors’ first birthday (plus growing from 3k to 13k friends here—whoa). 🎉

For 2025, I’m aiming for:
✨ More peace, less pressure.
🌲 Quiet hikes with Sundae.
📵 Putting down the phone for nature time.
🕯️ A little hygge at home.
🌊 More paddles, less hustle.

Cheers to YOU for being here through it all. Here’s to the next adventure (with maybe a little more downtime). Welcome 2025!🥂

🎄 Merry Christmas, friends! ❄️

Hope your day is filled with all the good stuff: family (given or chosen), friends, amazing food, too much chocolate 🍫, and maybe even a little time outside (or at least a glance out the window to say, “Yep, still cold”).

This time of year is so special—unless you’re the turkey. 🦃 Sorry, buddy, it’s not your season.

Thank you for being part of this amazing little corner of the internet. Whether you’re sledding down a hill or napping off a food coma, I hope you’re having the best day.

Merry Christmas, everyone! How are you celebrating? Let me know below! 🎁✨

Fun fact 👇🏼

It's home to the largest collection of canoes and kayaks in the world, with over 600 vessels from all over the globe. But what really makes this place special is the strong Indigenous influence that's reflected in its exhibits and design. The museum was built with a lot of thought and respect for Indigenous Nations and communities, honoring their role in canoe heritage and the knowledge passed down through generations.

📍 Canadian Canoe Museum, Peterborough, ON

Did you know: the museum was named one of National Geographic's Best Cultural Spots in their 2024 guide! It also has a studio where you can see canoe and paddle-building in action.

The museum itself is pretty new, having opened in May 2024, but it's already a great spot to learn about the history of canoe building and paddling in Canadian and Indigenous cultures.

If you're in the area, definitely check it out!

December Moodboard ❄️

December is here (YAY!), and with it comes cozy fires, snowy adventures and all the festive feels! Call me crazy, but this season might just be my favorite. Everything slows down, the festivities are in full swing and nights in with a candle and a good book are totally normal. Introverts, this is our time!

Plus, there’s plenty to celebrate—Christmas, New Year’s, and, of course, my birthday (just saying 😉).

The countdown to Christmas is officially on 🎄, and these cozy moments make the season feel extra magical. How are you soaking up December? Are you braving the outdoors or staying bundled inside? Honestly, either choice sounds pretty great.

Swipe through for some snowy scenes and a familiar little friend 🦊.

Will the Rideau Canal Skateway open this year??! ❄️

Every winter we hold our breath waiting to see if we'll get the chance to skate on the world’s largest skating rink. Last year was a heartbreak, with the canal only being open for 10 days. And the year before that, it didn't open at all due to warm weather. This was the first time in 50 years the skateway didn't open!

Historically, the canal has given us anywhere from a couple of weeks to two full months of skating. But as winters get milder, the dream of gliding down the 7.8 km rink becomes more uncertain. Did you know the ice needs to be 30 cm thick, requiring 10–14 days of consistent -10°C to -20°C temperatures? 🌡️

Fun fact: The Rideau Canal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and first became a skateway in 1971! 🌍

What do you think — will we be lacing up our skates this year, or is Mother Nature saying, 'Not this time'? Tell me in the comments below! ⛸️

Here's the scoop 👇🏼

I've always been a bit nervous about camping in colder weather, but after years of trial and error I've found some methods that make it way more enjoyable. Save this post for your next chilly adventure!

1. Sleep warm, dream happy 🛏️🔥
Use a sleeping bag rated for extra warmth, an insulated sleeping pad, and cozy extras like a hat or hot water bottle to stay snug on chilly nights.

2. Master the art of layering 🧥❄️
Layering is your secret weapon against the cold. Start with moisture-wicking base layers, add an insulating mid-layer, and finish with a waterproof, windproof shell.

3. Fuel up with warm meals & drinks 🍲☕
Your body needs calories to keep it warm. Sip hot tea or cocoa and keep high-energy snacks handy for extra heat. Hearty meals like soups and stews warm you from the inside.

4. Campfire comfort hacks 🔥🪑
Your front may feel toasty, but your back looses a lot of heat when you're sitting around the fire. Stay warm by insulating your seat with a pad or cushion and wrapping up in a packable blanket.

5. Proper cold weather gear 🥾🧤
Invest in key items: an insulated jacket, waterproof outerwear, quality boots, and thermal layers made out of wool. Good gear is the foundation of warmth.

6. Protect areas that loose heat the fastest 🧦🧣
Protect your hands, feet, and head with insulated gloves, wool socks, and a beanie. Keep circulation flowing for toasty toes!

Invest in key items: an insulated jacket, waterproof outerwear, quality boots, and thermal layers made out of wool. Good gear is the foundation of warmth.

6. Protect areas that loose heat the fastest 🧦🧣
Protect your hands, feet, and head with insulated gloves, wool socks, and a beanie. Keep circulation flowing for toasty toes!

Just spent the perfect detox weekend at @cabinscape’s cozy Wren cabin with my bestie! 🌲✨

Thanks for the unforgettable weekend, Cabinscape! 🖤

📍Wren cabin, Calabogie, Ontario

Just had the ultimate chill weekend at @cabinscape’s Wren cabin near Calabogie! Between the charcuterie boards and pancakes, we ate like glamping royalty. Calabogie might be a hidden gem to most, but it's full of spots to discover. We checked out Calabogie Brewing Co. 🍻, hiked up to Eagle’s Nest (views were so worth it!), cozied up by the fire and had some intense board game showdowns.

Cabinscape has incredible, eco-conscious cabins spread across Ontario, each set up for an off-grid experience. Did you know all of their cabins are solar-powered and feature composting toilets? 🌞♻️ Highly recommend if you’re down for good food, good views, and zero WiFi. 🌲

Thanks for having us, @cabinscape! Can we move in permanently? 👀
