ARE YOU A HAPPY CAMPER?

You don’t have to be a survival expert to experience the richness a wilderness adventure can provide- that’s the premise behind the “Happy Camper”.  Revamped and relaunched, the new website is geared up to educate and entertain with videos and content that truly brings out the joy of being outdoors.  Come along for the ride and watch Kevin as he explores, stumbles and recovers from his adventures.

The Happy Camper is about combining humour with practical advice that focuses on the thrill of outdoor exploration and the value of wilderness.  If you’ve ever wondered how to make espresso in the woods or light a fire with just one match, there’s a video for that!  Check out the “camping comfortably” videos for great advice on making the most out of your camping experience and be sure to look under “body gear” to help with planning what to wear.

Keep coming back as new videos will be added soon.  You can also check out the site for upcoming dates for the 2011 Happy Camper Road Show.

My mother always said that change was good. Of course, I think she was referring to the changing of my underwear or socks. But Iʼve taken her advice in relation to spreading my enthusiasm and knowledge of camping and the outdoors. My normal method was through writing books and magazine articles, which I continue to do. My new project, however, is this video website, presenting multiple episodes on ways to be a “happy camper.”

Itʼs very exciting, not only because I get to run around playing in the woods and be goofy on camera, but because I get to share my experience with you like never before. Promoting the reasons for people to continue going out into the wilderness – so they will freely accept the responsibility of saving whatʼs left of our natural world. Quite honestly, Iʼve never been happier; except maybe after changing my socks and underwear. Thatʼs pretty darn cool as well.
