Made a quick trip to Campbell Lake with Amanda, my spouse. We frequent this lake because it's a short 20 km trip via Mt. Woodside FSR (forestry service road) from our weekend getaway place. There are many view points along the way and some are very popular for hang gliding and paragliding. The first 10 km is steep on the up side and rough on the downside, 4x4 is needed. It's a small lake with a nice flat area to pitch a tent and plenty of firewood available. The lake is usually stocked with rainbow / cut throat trout and has been known for trout as big as 40 cm (13 in). The site is a unmaintained forestry service recreation site with no water or toilette facilities and is free of charge. In the fall there is limited hunting for white tail deer with a very healthy stock, a word of caution though, there are bears and cougars in the area and because of the late spring in British Columbia we are experiencing many sightings and attacks (bear spray recommended).

Very nice blog so far. I love the pictures and tips. What would you recommend as far as protection from wildlife? Maybe a gun or a weapon of some kind? What is a bear spray?
Bear spray is really concentrated tear gas with a range of 10 m (30 ft.)
Oh and I never carry a gun, never needed it. A compound bow would be nice though
